When she was 15, her parents split up and later got divorced. A year later, she was spotted by a local photographer and invited to New York to become a model. In New York, she signed a contract for the ‘Ford Models’ agency, landing the Cover Girl cosmetics contract and becoming the spokesperson for the company.

Career

By the age of 17, she had become a popular model and graced the covers of countless fashion magazines including ‘Vogue’, ‘Elle’, and ‘Cosmopolitan’. She was also asked to pose for ‘Playboy’ magazine, but considering herself too young for it, she refused the offer.

In 1989, she rose to global fame after posing as a model for the ‘Sports Illustrated’ magazine. She appeared on the 1994 'Dream Team' cover of the annual swimsuit issue of the ‘Sports Illustrated’.

Along with being a model, she took acting classes and made her film debut in the romantic comedy ‘Just a Little Harmless Sex’ (1998).

She appeared as a contestant on the United States reality television series ‘Dancing with the Stars’, and its British forerunner, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. In 2005, she became the host of ‘Make Me A Supermodel’, a reality show for Britain's Five TV channel.

In 2006, she hosted a reality program for U.S. cable TV channel, ‘Style Me With Rachel Hunter’. The contestants on the show participated in a series of fashion challenges to prove that they were capable of being her stylist.

In 2007, she launched a fashion line by the name ‘Lola’, a range of cutting edge swimsuits that are affordable and possess the same sense of style, sexiness and originality she has seen on fashion runways around the world.

In 2008, she launched an affordable but stylish women’s clothing line with ‘The Warehouse’ chain in New Zealand.

She also featured in several other movies such as ‘The Benchwarmers’ (2006), ‘Confessions of a Go-Go Girl’ (2008), ‘The Perfect Assistant’ (2008), and the science fiction TV movies ‘Piranhaconda’ (2011) and ‘Swamp Volcano’ (2012).

She serves as an ambassador of the ‘Born Free Foundation’, an organization that helps to prevent animal suffering, protect threatened species and keep wildlife in the wild. She also established the ‘Rachel Hunter Lowland Gorilla Fund’.
