The best looks of Raffaella Carrà, pop icon of Italian TV and music From the iconic blonde bob to daring outfits with bare bellybuttons
Raffaella Carrà was not only one of the most recognizable personalities of Italian television, she was the only true pop icon (together with Mina) ever to emerge from Italian showbiz. Eclectic like no other, she was a presenter, singer, actress, soubrette, but also a sex symbol, a feminist, a gay icon, the only one able to scandalize the conservative minds in the 1970s by showing her belly button on TV, thus influencing and liberating the style of an entire generation.
The Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, who has always been a great fan of Raffaella, once said: "Raffaella Carrà no es una mujer. Es un estilo de vida". Amen!
