Bar Refaeli scores cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue
by Liz McGrath posted on February 10, 2009Apparently gorgeous Israeli model Bar Refaeli is going to be gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated’s 2009 Swimsuit Edition
This is one magazine cover that always creates a lot of excited buzz and in typical salivating style David Letterman announced the new cover on his talk-show last night. In case you didn’t know, Bar is the on-off girlfriend of Leonard DiCaprio and apparently Leo was involved in getting her this cover. He certainly knows how to pick them; he previously had a very similar on-off relationship with the (even more) stunning Brazilian supermodel Giselle.
So what do we think of Bar’s cover? Im not so blown away to be honest, yes her body is sexy – but the ‘im pulling my bikini bottoms almost off’ pose is just a little dated no? With the cheesy bright blue surf behind her, this picture could be of any chick from the 70s, 80s or 90s. It would have been cool to see something more fashion-focused and directional. What the internet is buzzing with is talk of whether her boobs are real or not – however if it is a boob job its a damn good one. Actually in her face I think she looks really like Petra Nemcova (another SI model) in this shot – both are pretty girls but neither of them outright knock-outs.
