Hours before David Letterman is set to reveal the cover girl of Sports Illustrated’s 2009 Swimsuit Issue, FYB has your first look: Bar Refaeli has landed the coveted spot!
Leonardo DiCaprio’s gorgeous girlfriend looks nothing short of sedcutive on the cover as she leaves little to the imagination with a swift tug on her bikini bottoms.
Bar has appeared in the famous issue twice in the past. Her first appearance in 2007 marked the first time that the magazine had featured an Israeli born model. Last year, she was rumored to be gracing the cover, but lost out to Marisa Miller.
Our thoughts on the cover?

I saw that pic when I looked up the word “butterface” in the dictionary.
Did she rip off Tyra’s famous pose?
Jealous much? She’s gorgeous, has a rockin’ body and blows away Gisele. Butterface? Hardly.
Her body is incredible. Really perfect actually. She must work out like crazy.
Bar’s pretty but nothing special. The best thing I can say about Bar is that her boob job is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Bar better kiss Leo’s ass because if it wasn’t for him she would be a nobody.
The reason a lot of models like Gisele, Tyra and Bar have such amazing boob jobs is because they get their implants put under the muscle through their bellybutton. I think it is expensive and dangerous but very real looking.
Oh to be beautiful…
oh good grief! she did not have a boob job, it’s so obvious. and neither did gisele, she’s pretty flat chested really. it’s more bra padding, then anything else.
Dana -
Flat chested?????????? Are you blind? She doesn’t have a flat chest AT ALL, she’s got great boobs.
Yes #2,that is Tyra’s pose and the wording in 1997 was nothing but bikini’s,very disapppointing.SI is running out of idea’s.
It`s trashy. I thought their worst cover was last year`s with MM but this is way worse than that. Low class and unimaginative. Bar should be VERY grateful to Leo for her successful career. Good job Leo putting her on the SI cover.
#3 what does G have to do with this?
i was talking about giselle, hope
^^
gisele…flat chested

Her boobs look very fake here. They are just sitting on top of her chest. I had no idea she had implants.
she’s much prettier than Marisa Miller, IMO.
Wow, she definitely has an amazing body.
This is an honor? Ohhhh-kay.
what a sex-bomb!
Bar’s pretty but nothing special. The best thing I can say about Bar is that shes knowing how to use leo for her career. im sure that she is kissing Leo’s ass because if it wasn’t for him she would be a nobody.
HOT!!! She has an incredible body but I think her face is a little bit on the plain side. Marisa Miller is a million times hotter! I can’t beleive some of the hate for supermodels on here, it’s pretty immature and very transperant.
Tacky cover. Not that it is Bar’s fault, SI swimsuit issues have been going downhill for years. I think last years with Marisa Miller was worse. SI no longer makes supermodels, I am not sure that it is much of a honor or coup any more to get the cover.
this chick is nothing special.she cant hold a candle to Giselle.Giselle is a supermodel.she knows how to pose and she makes me wanna buy magazines.she looks like she belongs in fashion magazines,on runways etc etc.this one…eeh not so much.
Skinny with Implants.. with a average face,and that post has been used aleast 3 times…Yawn give me Gisele’s career
Just going to add… I agree she is much prettier than Marisa Miller and I don’t think Bar has had implants, I think they used “cutlets” and tape to “fill” out the cups a bit more. Which is rather a pity I think the pic would be much better if her breasts weren’t so obviously pushed down and inward.
She definitely has implants…and she is just another pretty girl…nothing special. SI ran out of creative ideas a long time ago. The swimsuit issue is no longer something special — just same old - same old.
for goodness sake just go ahead and show her privates ughh she gorgegous, but not a natural when it comes to connecting with the camera she looks unsure or as if she’s about to cry lol Def like her better than Giselle tho.
