She's already graced the pages of multiple issues as well as the cover of international editions, but now, Kate Upton has officially landed a spot on the cover of US Vogue— under the headline "American Dream Girl: How Kate Upton Became The Hottest Supermodel On Earth."
As you can see, she was granted slightly more clothing than her Sports Illustrated cover. It's really a testament to her versatility as a model that she can work the eye candy/sex bomb role as easily and beautifully as she pulls off the high-fashion babe look.
Plus, she's done it all while dealing with incessant body scrutiny all over the Internet. On that subject, she's cool as a cucumber and cheerful to boot: “The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.” And if that doesn't make her relatable and down-to-Earth enough, the fact that she used to stuff her bra might do the trick.
Honestly, if you'd told us back in 2010 that the star of a sexy viral YouTube video would be on the cover of Vogue, we would have laughed in your face. But it looks like she's the one laughing now — and Dougie-ing, and posing for Terry Richardson, and waltzing around on the pages of your favorite glossy. As for her future? Well, you'll have to check out the full interview in
