Duran Duran’s cover art for Rio was a simple but unforgettable one, featuring an illustration of a red-lipped smiling woman. Four decades after the ‘80s jam was released, the foxy lady drawn on the cover has been identified as Marcie Hunt, who was a model back then. In response to the discovery, Marcie Hunt expressed her gratitude on Instagram, adding that she played songs off the album at her wedding. She admitted that Duran Duran was one of her favorite groups and was grateful to have captivated fans and listeners with her seductive and charming smile. Hunting for the mystery woman on Duran Duran’s ‘Rio’ album cover Instagram Discovering Hunt was no easy task as expert Mark Walker invested time, effort, and energy into finding who she was. He purchased many magazines from the ‘80s, hoping to find one that matched the face on the vinyl until he did after seeing a 1981 issue of Vogue Paris. He initially had doubts about her sunglasses and fedora hat but eventually confirmed it to be her.
