Here on PITNB, we primarily know the Kate Upton of Vogue Italia and Elle Magazine. I fell in lurve with the photo shoot she did with the legendary Steven Meisel a while back, and since then she’s been on my radar. But Kate Upton first became a big deal as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl, and now she’s returning to her roots, if only for a moment. The cover is so boob-alicious I had to crop that ish for the main picture, lol. The full cover is inside and probably, definitely NSFW. Click inside for more!
Kate Upton Is Freezing Hot For The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue:
E! has the deets:
For the second year in a row, the blond beauty is the cover girl of choice for the Sports IllustratedSwimsuit Issue, the big reveal coming via leak earlier today…
“Congratulations Ms.@kateupton !! Making history!” tweeted 2010 cover girl Brooklyn Decker.
This actually marks Upton’s third straight appearance on the cover, counting an inset pic in 2011, when she was named SI‘s Rookie of the Year.
But this is the first year the Michigan-born, Florida-bred bombshell is wearing no bikini top—and a coat!
SI took the shoot down to Antarctica for its “Polar Bare” theme, which must have tested the models’ acting chops, too. How else do you pretend that life’s a beach when it’s 30 degrees outside?!
“We can finally talk about Antarctica!!!!!…Took us 2 months to thaw out,” Upton tweeted after the reveal.
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old joins an incredibly elite list of models who’ve commanded the cover multiple years in a row: Christie Brinkley went back-to-back-to-back in 1979, 1980 and 1981; Elle MacPherson did the same between 1986 and 1988; Paulina Porizkova posed in 1984 and 1985 and Tyra Banks starred in 1996 and 1997 (though she had to share with Valeria Mazza in 1996).
Sooo yeah. That’s what Kate Upton‘s boobs look like in a parka, lmao! Can you believe they were legit shooting this in Antarctica?! Like, Antarctica. That is insane. And so is that rack. But wait– I love the part of the cover that reads, ‘Kate Upton Goes Polar Bare… And Then Sizzles In Body Paint.’ LOLOLOL! OMG, stop it.
Personally, I prefer high fashion Kate, but that’s just me. And I guess versatility is a good thing. And I do like that the cover looks fairly natural. What do y’all think of Kate‘s boobs cover?
This is a miss for me, especially compared to last year. I don’t like her hair and the bikini bottom is ill-fitting. Even the boobs are almost too much. Almost..
That’s a whole lotta boobage.
Was it really necessary to shoot this in Antarctica? I assumed she’d been photoshopped in anyways lol
Love Letarte’s mesh bottom!
