The fur bikini of Raquel Welch refers to the fur/animal hide bikini worn by Raquel Welch in the 1966 film One Million Years BC. She was described as "wearing mankind's first bikini" and the bikini was described as a "definitive look of the 1960s".[2][3]
Background
Welch stated in a 2012 interview that three form-fitting bikinis were made for her, including two for a wet scene and a fight scene, by costume designer Carl Toms: "Carl just draped me in doe-skin, and I stood there while he worked on it with scissors."[4] The iconic pose of Welch was taken by the unit still photographer (as recalled by Welch in an interview[4]).
In popular culture
Later, on TV, actress Jennifer O'Dell paid tribute to Welch when she wore a loin cloth style bikini that looked like Welch's fur one. O'Dell played a girl of the jungles named Veronica on the TV show Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World.
