The Towering Rachel Hunter
You might not believe it, but people were a lot shorter even just forty years ago, with Rachel Hunter being extraordinarily tall for her time. At just under six feet, the supermodel towered over men, including her former partner, the iconic artist Rod Stewart. He was only 5’10”, and she leaned over him easily. No wonder he had such big hair! Hunter was a leading fashion icon throughout the 80s and 90s.
Elle Macpherson Rules The Supermodel Roost
While there were plenty of astonishingly beautiful and elegant women during the 80s, supermodel Elle Macpherson stole a large portion of the world’s attention at the time. She was so gorgeous and in shape that her nickname “The Body” was not ironic in the slightest. She was often seen on the cover of Sports Illustrated, at a total of five record times. Elle is still one of the hottest women in the world, continuing to appear on Sports Illustrated covers to this day.
