Bar Refaeli has got off to a flying start in her bid to become the next Heidi Klum.

Leonardo DiCaprio's supermodel girlfriend poses naked on the cover of the latest issue of Esquire with nothing but a Stephen King short story to hide her blushes.

Text from the horror writer's latest tale - which is published in the magazine - was painted on to her body for the risqué photo shoot.

In the accompanying interview, Bar reveals that she is inspired by fellow Victoria's Secret beauty Heidi - who is no stranger to baring (nearly) all for the camera.

"I really like what she’s doing," she gushes. "It's what I picture myself as."

Bar also has some top tips for anyone thinking of following her lead and doing a naked photoshoot.

"The palm of your hand - you need to make it long, your fingers long,” she says, adding, “always make your feet point."

"Your collarbone...How do I say it? Let me show it. Pop it up, pop it out. It’s all in the definition of the bones."

Okay, we're all set!
