Bar Refaeli Celebrates SI Swimsuit Issue Launch

She’s been on cloud nine since she found out she was the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2009 Issue cover girl, and last night Bar Refaeli was spotted celebrating her achievement in New York City.

The beautiful brunette babe was hamming it up at the official launch party, sponsored by Southwest Airlines on Madison Avenue on Manhattan’s swanky east side.

Earlier in the day, Bar paid a visit to the Ed Sullivan Theater for a promotional appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

Miss Refaeli arrived in a black and grey jacket/shirt/trousers combo, but once inside she donned a shimmery blue dress before hitting the stage for her interview.
