Worst-Dressed

Despite having one of the world’s most sought physiques, Raquel was frequently on the “Worst Dressed” list throughout her career. Raquel was ranked third on Mr Blackwell’s Ten Worst Dressed Women list in 1963, behind Queen Elizabeth II and Barbra Streisand. “From Welch – you could belch!” the list said of Raquel’s dress style. Raquel had previously appeared on the dreadful list in 1967 and 1968, finishing in sixth place both times.
