Emily and others pay homage to Raquel in iconic fur biкinis
Fans and fellow celebrities alike adore Raquel Welch’s most iconic look.
The 82-year-old actress and sеx icon died this week after a brief battle with an undisclosed illness.
The brunette bombshell rose to fame in the 1960s, thanks in part to the sеxy deerskin biкini she wore for one of her most memorable roles in “One Million Years B.C.” — and many other stars have recreated the iconic look in the decades since.
Emily Ratajkowski re-shared a photo of her 2018 Halloween costume inspired by the furry matching set after learning of Welch’s death on Wednesday.
“I’m obsessed with reference images, and that image, that poster of her in what they called’mankind’s first biкini,’ I adore.
“It’s just fun and quirky,” the Inamorata swimwear designer explained at the time on the “Shoot This Now” podcast.
On Wednesday night, costume queen Heidi Klum shared a photo of herself wearing a two-piece. The image appeared in a sеxy 2002 GQ spread shot by Mark Seliger, in which Klum posed as famous figures from film and television.
Teresa Giudice, star of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” was also a fan of the late Welch, posting a throwback photo from a 2016 photoshoot with Us Weekly.
“Raquel Welch was such a beautiful and iconic woman to me growing up” (and everyone else on the planet). “I never dreamed as a little girl that I would have the privilege and honor of re-creating
that amazing image from ‘One Million Years B.C.’ and being featured in a magazine doing it,” the Bravolebrity captioned her Instagram post.
“A true icon, Ms. Raquel Welch, rest in peace.”
While the “Legally Blonde” star was best known for her Neanderthal-chic biкini, she was praised for her style both on and off the set.
