Emily Ratajkowski paid tribute to Raquel Welch with a throwback bikini photo following the news of the actress’s death.
The supermodel wore the iconic fur bikini that catapulted Raquel to international fame as one of the most recognizable pin-up models of the last century.
Emily looked stunning in the outfit which she wore on a night out to a party.
Her brunette hair was full and flowing, mirroring the late actor’s look in the 1966 movie, One Million Years B.C.
The 31-year-old stunner accessorized the look with a gator-print handbag in the throwback snap which she shared on her Instagram Story.
Raquel was one of the most influential sex symbols, and posters featuring herself in the fur bikini were bestsellers.
Emily originally paid homage to Raquel in 2018 at a Halloween costume party.
In an interview at the time, the model opened up about paying tribute to the Hollywood icon, who passed away at age 82 yesterday.
“I’m obsessed with reference images, and that image, that poster of her in what they called ‘mankind’s first bikini’ — I love that. It’s just fun and kind of quirky,” Emily said, continuing:
“The costumer at Kimmel custom-made the outfit… It was very legit. And then, my hair and makeup team is very committed to the glamorous life. So they really got into it. I sat in a chair for two-and-a-half hours which I don’t normally do,” Emily said in the Shoot This Now podcast.
