Bar Rafaeli is lending her expertise to aspiring models.

In fact, the Israeli beauty will soon be coming to a TV set near you...

Refaeli will appear in an episode on E!'s new reality series Scouted, which follows the lives of aspiring models who are plucked from obscurity and thrown into the cutthroat world of fashion. Refaeli will be on an episode in which she gives one lucky girl some tricks of the trade.

"She gave them really helpful advice," Beri Smither, Scouted's main model mentor (think Tim Gunn), told us earlier today while promoting the show's Nov. 28 premiere. "Helping with the runway walk and telling the girl, 'Pretend like you've done this a million times.'"

Fellow mega models Selita Ebanks and Josie Maran will also appear on the show as a celebrity mentors for the young women.

"They were in awe," Smither says of watching the aspiring models meet industry pros like Refaeli. "They were just enamored. Completely enamored, so grateful. Just in complete admiration. It was really nice. It's nice to see people being impacted by other people in that way."
