Bombshell auction!

Raquel Welch became an instant superstar with her appearance as a cavewoman in a fur bikini in the 1966 prehistoric epic “One Million Years B.C.”

The sexy superstar was described as “wearing mankind’s first bikini.”

The image of Welch wearing the iconic two-piece became one of the biggest pinup posters of all time.

A Bob Mackie halter dress embellished with multicolored sequins and rhinestones she wore on “The Muppet Show” in 1978 — and inspired actor Ryan Gosling’s first crush — is estimated to go for between $2,000 and $3,000.

Welch “had it all — grace, glamor, and grit in a goddess’ body,” gushed Darren Julien, co-founder of the auction house.
