Every once in a while a beach girl grabs the world's canvas--one day you'd never heard of her, let alone seen her--the next day she is the cover girl of your dreams, on every newsstand.
One such dream girl is Bar Refaeli.
From Israel, and gorgeous in the extreme, Bar has graced the covers of Cosmopolitan, Maxim and Elle as well as the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2009 and its subsequent books and calendars.
In July, she was bodypainted with the title and wording from the new Stephen King novel for the cover of Esquire.
Having been squired by Leonardo DiCaprio at the time, she was catapulted into bikini hyperspeed. Seen with Leo at Bakers Bay, Bahamas late last month, there are inklings that the two may have reunited again.
Combining an almost feline set of blue eyes and a lion's mane of tawny golden hair, she is curvy and womanly, no stick figure Bar. Her freckled, sunny naturalness is the antidote to near perfect proportions.
At 24 years old, she now commands the ranking and fees of a super model. Her image is known around the world in fashion. She has hosted television. She has even graced an airline side when Southwest Airlines painted an image of her on its 737 Boeing carrier.
In March this year Refaeli received the "World Style Award," presented by the Women's World Awards, for her "natural elegance, sense of style and compassion."
In a controversial move some years ago Bar married (and just as quickly divorced) a family friend to avoid the mandatory military service to her country for all men and women 18 years or older. Sidestepping khaki, Bar relocated to Los Angeles and has never looked back, saying, 'I really wanted to serve (in the IDF), but I don't regret not enlisting, because it paid off big time,' she said. "That's just the way it is, celebrities have other needs. I hope my case has influenced the army
