Kate Upton In Sandy Bikini Highlights Bombshell 'Birthday' Curves

Kate Upton‘s birthday didn’t go unnoticed as Sports Illustrated Swim marked her special day on X back in 2019. Sharing a bombshell snap of the 32-year-old, the magazine celebrated one of its most iconic stars with a beach photo, one showing her all covered in golden sand as she modeled a tiny bikini. Bringing the heat with her curves, Kate sizzled in her colorful two-piece, one highlighting her jaw-dropping figure in yet another pin-up moment. Kate has made SI Swim headlines since, with May 2024 seeing her front the magazine amid its 60th-anniversary celebrations.

Scroll for the photo. Lounging around sands and with specks of it all over her cleavage and arms, Kate popped in a bright blue and lime-green bikini with a plunging neckline. Lying on her front amid crystalline blue ocean waters, the mom of one displayed her world-famous cleavage while resting her head in one hand, also lying with parts of her lower half submerged.

Choosing frilly accents on her briefs, Kate kept her look skimpy, girly, and sexy, contrasting her swimwear’s vivid colors with a deep tan.

Sending the camera a smile, Kate highlighted her model features while wearing her tousled hair in beachy waves, affording major vacay vibes as she drove fans wild. In a caption, SI Swim wrote: “Happy birthday to our girl Kate Upton!”

Kate first fronted the iconic magazine in 2011. She went on to make multiple cover returns, but it’s 2024 that’s proven the real talking point. Joining legendary SI Swim bombshells including Chrissy Teigen and Tyra Banks this summer, Kate flaunted her bikini body to celebrate the magazine turning 60, making sure to mark her cover with her 6.6 million Instagram followers.

Lifting her arms up above her head for her cover, Kate sizzled in striped, red-and-pink bikini bottoms, going ruffly at the waistline and with a bra-like top in the same colors.

Flaunting her mean abs and bombshell curves, Kate told fans: “I’m so honored to be on the cover for @si_swimsuit’s 60th anniversary. SI has been a huge part of my career so it felt really special to be back with @yutsai88 and @mj_day, alongside the other amazing women included on the cover.”

All bouncy curls in the above Instagram photo, Kate laughed with closed eyes while making jaws drop with her ample bosom. Rocking a triangle white bikini top, the wife to baseball star Justin Verlander wrote: “Soaking up the sun.”

Fans left the May 2022-posted snap over 130,000 likes. “@kateupton, you are such a stunner,” one user replied. Kate’s IG is followed by stars including model Irina Shayk, gymnast Olivia Dunne, and socialite Paris Hilton.
