Bar Refaeli body

Bar Refaeli's beautiful body in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.



The beautiful model from Israel made it to the cover this time; Refaeli has been featured in the exclusive swimsuit edition three times. However Bar Refaeli's love hate relationship with her country continues.

In May last year when the Fox fashion chain announced that Bar Refaeli would lead the company’s campaign during the next three years, members of The Israeli Forum for the Promotion of Equal Share in the Burden were outraged. They believe that every Israeli of age should serve in the IDF (the Israeli army) for the mandatory period. Their campaign threatened to lead to a consumer boycott of Fox, who eventually agreed to a compromise. Bar Refaeli while representing the fashion company and earning $300,000 a year, will visit injured IDF soldiers hospitalized at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer every time she arrives in Israel. In addition, she will encourage soldiers to serve in the army.



Despite her draft dodging Bar Refaeli is admired around the world, and in Israel, for her fantastic body. The photo above is from the 2005 cover of the leading men's magazine in Israel Blazer.

Bar Refaeli has also modeled for Strauss's Millki and Pilpel bikinis, the Victoria's Secret catalog, Dio bathing suits, Yamayay lingerie, Irit fashion, Orange cellular, Samsung mobile, and Italian jewelry designer Marco Bicego. A 2006 survey revealed that Bar Refaeli was one of the people Israelis would like to see on their currency notes!

It was only after her interviews where she justified her not joining the army, and said she would never bring her foreign friends to Israel, that for some time people in Israel were annoyed with her. But now that anger/annoyance has subsided and Bar Refaeli is a recognized international face, and body, of Israel.





Bar Refaeli loves riding horses.

Bar Refaeli is 5'8.5" and her figure is a healthy 35-24-35.
