Always Iconic: Why the Playboy Bunny Look Has Stood the Test of Time (8 photos)

Sexy, cool, and playful—the Playboy Bunny look has proven to be one of the most enduring icons over the decades. Virtually every famous beauty has donned the black corset, cute ears, and fluffy tail at some point. But why has this sultry outfit retained its captivating appeal? Here is the story behind its creation and lasting success.







Decades after its debut, the alluring Playboy Bunny outfit continues to drive men wild. Nearly every major star has tried on the seductive costume at least once, sparking waves of admiring fan comments.





32-year-old British model Christine McGuinness slipped into the sultry costume for Halloween. She is far from the only glamour girl to embrace the revealing look.



The iconic "Bunnies" first made their debut at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Clubs in 1964. Their sophisticated and seductive outfit became the very first service uniform to receive an official trademark in the US. Hefner drew inspiration for the sexy waitresses from Bunny’s Tavern, a favorite college hangout of his in Illinois.

The original outfit was built around a satin corset body suit, topped off with playful bunny ears and a fluffy tail.



Later, Hugh Hefner hired French designer René Blot, who polished the signature look we know and love today by adding fishnet stockings, cuffs, a collar, and a bow tie.



Some of the world's most famous beauties have rocked the sultry suit over the years. Singer Dolly Parton posed in it for the cover of Playboy in 1978, and later considered recreating the iconic look ahead of her 75th birthday.



Pamela Anderson has graced the cover of the popular men's magazine numerous times, putting on the bunny ears for a shoot in 2015.



To mark Playboy's 60th anniversary in 2014, Hugh Hefner tapped supermodel Kate Moss to wear the bunny suit. The resulting cover became one of the most iconic in the magazine's history.
