The model was photographed by Raphael Mazzucco for SI’s highly anticpated bikini edition.
And in an accompanying video she is seen rolling in the surf – all in the name of her art of course.
It is Bar’s third year being photographed for the magazine’s famed swimsuit edition, and she said she was just ‘really, really, relaxed’.
Bar’s appeared in campaigns for Victoria’s Secret, swimwear brand Hurley and Ralph Lauren.
And was the first Israeli to make the cover of the iconic sports magazine. She has also appeared on the covers of Elle and GQ.
More recently she has currently been accompanying boyfriend DiCaprio, 34, around the world as he promoted his latest film Revolutionary Road, which also stars Kate Winslet.
The pair met in November 2005 at a party in Las Vegas. They recently denied more rumours of an imminent engagement.
‘There is no truth to it,’ a source close to Leo revealed to OK! magazine.
The rumours were sparked after the couple was spotted leaving a store in Beverly Hills, and a ring was seen on Bar’s engagement finger.
The source explained: ‘Bar just had the ring on that finger. Nothing more.’
Meanwhile Bar has signed up for the revival of MTV show House of Style.
Previously hosted by supermodel Cindy Crawford cover girl Bar is the new host for the show which features a mix of big fashion items to buy and celebrity interviews.
