BAR RAFAELI: BLACK TIE COLLECTION PHOTOS

Bar Refaeli

  • Bar Refaeli is the first to shed clothes and don bikini in the video. She’s sporting what the superimposed lettering tells us is the ‘Black Tie Collection’. Hmm, we fear she may have slightly misunderstood the concept of ‘black tie’.

    Black tie is a dress code for formal evening events, and is worn to social functions. For a man, the major component is a jacket, known as a dinner jacket or tuxedo, which is usually black but is sometimes seen in other colours. Black tie for women can range from a short cocktail dress to a long evening gown, determined by current fashion, local custom, and the occasion's time.
    Nowhere, literally NOWHERE there, can we see any mention of a skimpy bikini. Silly Bar Refaeli, you’re going to be left suitably red-faced next time you arrive at a swanky evening do.


    Bar RefaeliFull name: Bar Rafaeli 
    DOB: June 4th, 1985 
    Place of birth: Hod HaSharon, Israel
    Occupation: Model
    "I don't remember my first kiss but the song that I remember was Jennifer Lopez's Waiting For Tonight because it came out right before the Millennium and was my New Year's kiss that year."
    Hugely successful model with countless magazine covers and ad campaigns.
    Met Leonardo DiCaprio at a party in 2005 and the pair started dating.
    Got out of national service by marrying (then divorcing) a family friend.
    She volunteers for Project Sunshine, helping provide free services to children with life-threatening illnesses.

There isn't a lady here who started working at an earlier age than white-hot Israeli model Bar: she was a baby model in ads from the age of eight months. More acting may one day beckon for this blue-eyed bikini queen, but singing is definitely out. "If there was one thing I wish I could be, it's a singer, but I'm the worst singer in the world," she says. "When I do karaoke, everyone runs away."
A self-styled tomboy with dreams of being a skydiver when she was growing up on her parents' horse ranch, Bar soon ditched horse-shit and dreams of parachutes for a modelling career that has included the likes of French lingerie firm Passionata, and which swiftly had Leonardo DiCaprio sniffing around at a U2 party in Vegas in 2005. They became an item and, touchingly, she whisked him off to meet the President of Israel.
She’s attracted a bit of controversy though, has Bar Refaeli. In 2009 she was painted on to the side of a Boeing 737, as an airline company took the opportunity to take an image from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue around the world. Passengers complained though, saying that it was inappropriate. We disagree. The same year billboards in Tel-Aviv of her posing semi-nude were taken down after complaints that they could “poison” the public. Again, we disagree.
This year Bar moves back in to acting as the lead role in a film called Sessions. You probably haven’t seen it, seeing as it hasn’t been released yet. You’re more likely to have seen her guest appearance as a judge on Germany’s Next Top Model hosted by Heidi Klum. It’s amazing what you can see over here these days…
