Raquel Welch has showcased her timeless beauty in a series of unearthed photos from the early days of the star's career

Hollywood veteran Raquel Welch, 81, rose to fame as an international starlet with her captivating looks and iconic frame.

The legend made her Hollywood name starring in classics such as Bedazzled, One Million Years B.C., Bandolero!, among many others.

In the early days of her career, the model and beauty pageant title winner posed for a series of sultry bikini snaps, which were taken over five decades ago.

The actress, then aged 26, showed off her youthful looks and has barely aged since after the icon made a rare public appearance.

It comes as Raquel was spotted out and about for the first time in over two years after being seen by the Heritage Auctions building in Beverly Hills in September.

In the unearthed pics, the brunette bombshell let her sizzling hourglass curves take centre-stage as she sauntered out of the water in one sultry shot which was taken in 1966 for the film La Bande à César.

The ageless beauty flaunted her toned midriff, as she beamed into the camera.

In another snap, she gave fans an eyeful of her shapely rear in the jaw-dropping shot while holding seaweed.
