This Is How The Ideal Female Body Type Has Changed Over The Last Century

The Supermodel Of The ‘80s

Following the 70’s, the 1980’s saw the introduction of the “supermodel.” The title was given to models who had very long legs and were taller than average. At the time, it was nearly impossible to turn on the TV, especially MTV, without seeing this body type of the screen.

Rachel Hunter

Rachel Hunter is just under 6 feet tall, towering over most of the population. This was very clear when she would stand next to her ex Rod Stewart, who is 5’10” himself. Anyone who was around in the 80’s remembers Hunter gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated and plenty of other magazines. She would later also appear in several music videos.
