Sam Edelman designed these shoes he thought were wonderful but he was stuck on how to market them. Would he run a shoe campaign describing its unique advantages? Maybe a commercial directed by Michael Bay? Maybe simply put the shoes on a beautiful foot model? Nah, he just got Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton to wear the shoes in lingerie.
You may be wondering how this could work. Up until now, you probably didn’t even know Kate Upton was wearing shoes. Well, you got me there. I’m not sure what to say. Let’s just keep staring at Kate Upton’s cleavage while we figure this out.

The Kate Upton goodness continues today with this shoot for Sam Edelman. I’m guessing it’s for shoes, because I’m perceptive like that, but if you ask me, these are hotter than most of the shoots Kate does for magazines. Sports Illustrated aside, of course. Anyway, enjoy. And try not to get too distracted by all

For better or worse, Kate Upton is all the rage now in the modelling world. Here she is doing more promotion for Sports Illustrated in a very flattering white dress, and in the past several months, she’s not only covered the SI: Swimsuit edition for the second consecutive year, but she’s also been branching out into full-fledged fashion circles with Vogue UK and Vogue Italia covers and a Vogue US spread, among other endeavors. Not bad for a “curvy” girl, right?
As I’ve noted more than once, none of Kate’s success has stopped the shameful body criticism from continuing, and Kate’s polar-boob shoot has served not only to please countless men but also to reignite a lot of sniping over Kate’s atypical (for a model) bikini body. I’ve really been trying to understand the complaints about Kate’s body, but I’m coming up empty on explanations other than possibly because she has a low hip-to-waist ratio. I still think that’s wrong though, and I believe that all of this criticism is affecting her no matter what Kate says to the contrary.
Recently I was a bit surprised when Chrissy Teigen, lover of all things food, admitted going on a 10-day cleanse immediately before the latest SI: swimsuit shoot. Here’s something that’s truly shocking though — for four months prior to the same shoot, Kate adhered to a cleanse two weeks out of every month. She also worked out with a personal trainer twice a day. Seriously, there’s even a People story on this:
What?s harder than posing almost naked in the freezing cold in Antarctica? Preparing to pose almost naked in the freezing cold in Antarctica.
We chatted with David Kirsch, the trainer who primed Kate Upton for her second Sports Illustrated cover, and let’s just say: Upton must be exhausted.
Kirsch began working with the supermodel back in August, and for the first two weeks, Upton met with him for sessions twice a day. From then on, the model exercised five to six days per week for one and half to two hours until the photo shoot in December.
“[She did] boot camp circuit training mixed in with cardio,” Kirsch tells PEOPLE. “Running, rowing and the elliptical.” He adds that there are six regions a model needs to focus on for an SI: Swimsuit Edition shoot: “Legs, inner thighs, hips, butt, abs and arms. Anything that shows when you?re wearing a bathing suit. Which is … everything!” (Especially when that bathing suit is as tiny as some of the ones Upton sported!)
It wasn?t just the constant sweat sessions that got Upton ready to strip down; she was also extremely careful about what she ate. “She followed my ABC’s – no alcohol, bread or processed carbs – and no sugar – 24/7 with no cheat days,” the trainer reveals.
Along with not eating pasta, pizza, candy or apparently anything else that tastes delicious, Upton did Kirsch’s seven-day cleanse for two weeks out of every month they worked together. And during the other two weeks? She regularly drank protein shakes and green drinks to stay energized.
Despite all that, Kirsch says Upton didn’t complain once throughout the exhaustive process. Though, the same can’t be said about Upton while she was kneeling on an iceberg in nothing but a string bikini. But can you really blame her?

All of that and yet still, people have the nerve to label this girl as fat. These are extreme measures for sure — maybe not for a model in general but definitely for one who is being held up as more “normal” looking than the rest of them. The simple fact that Kate was willing to cleanse for 50% of her life for four months and also workout twice per day tells me that even this “healthy” girl has an unavoidably unhealthy outlook on food. And I’m afraid with all this criticism that she’s only going to get more obsessive as her career progresses.

These are photos of Kate Upton a few days ago in Las Vegas to promote her second consecutive Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit edition cover. I’m not crazy about this purple dress at all because this type of neckline isn’t terribly flattering on big-busts (and I speak from personal experience), and horizontal stripes aren’t flattering on anybody. Let alone a model that people seem to have it out for in terms of not being good enough. Over and over again, people have screamed out for models who don’t look like coat hangers, and now there’s been a ridiculous backlash towards this lovely, 20-year-old model for daring to have some flesh on her bones.
Indeed, Kate has already defended herself against pro-ana criticisms and insists that she loves her “healthy curves.” Personally, I think it’s pretty great that she’s quickly grown so successful in the past year while still being able to eat solid foods. But the criticism is back again this year with Kate’s new parka-boobs magazine cover, and she’s managing to gracefully dodge such questions. Also, her fellow SI models (including my favorite, Chrissy Teigen) are defending Kate — which means that the stories that they mean-girled her last year are either inaccurate or they’ve wised up and realized that Kate is here to stay for awhile — in a refreshing twist. Here are the details:
Sports Illustrated treated Kate Upton like a dumb blonde: The top model only learned she landed on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue when the news leaked online Friday. “I immediately called SI, and they were like, ?Don?t tweet anything!’” she told us at the issue’s official launch party Tuesday at Crimson. Upton’s on the cover for the second year in a row, and has bizarrely been bashed by some for her curvy body. “Everyone has the right to their own opinion,” she told us. “I am in a good place in my career, so it’s all right.”
While Upton brushed off criticism, her fellow bikini babes came to her defense. “Everyone is hyper-critical of women, and it’s got to stop,” Alyssa Miller said. “We should be embracing all body types.” Chrissy Teigen added, “I don?t think people realize we read everything.” While Upton was top dog, Katherine Webb — the SI babe and Miss Alabama who became famous as Brent Musburger?s obsession — turned almost as many heads. She was seen posing for pics with pageant-queen guests Alison Cronin and Brenna Mader.

Kate is still so very young, and it must be at least somewhat difficult to be in the public eye while certain people keep loudly insisting that you’re too fat to be a swimsuit model. Yet she manages to project a good-natured attitude about all of the nonsense, and she’s absolutely correct in that her career is on fire and that none of the criticism really even matters. In fact, she’s generating quite the conversation on body image, so I think we can count Kate as a modelling success on more notes than one.

So apparently Kate Upton also showed up to Caesars Palace last night to celebrate with her fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue models. And normally, I’d complain about Kate not wearing a bikini here, but those funbags of hers would look amazing even if she was wearing a pillow case. Actually, that’s not a bad idea.

Kate Upton is being lauded for the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition but of course there are always going to be people who criticize her body because there’s no way you can have those breasts without having some fat on you. Kate doesn’t mind though.
She tells Page Six, “Everyone has the right to their own opinion,” and explains, “I am in a good place in my career, so it?s all right.”
Fellow models Alyssa Miller and Chrissy Teigen came to her defense saying people should stop being so hyper-critical of women and that people don’t know the models read everything.
If I was Kate Upton, I wouldn’t mind the haters either. Who are they to talk? How many dudes jerk off to themin a bathroom? Hmm?

Kate Upton made it official by unveiling her new cover at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch Party, and she wasn’t the only SI model there showing off her work. Still, I don’t get why they had these girls hold up their pictures on the red carpet like some 10-year-old posing with their A+ math test.

Last week the cover of the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was leaked featuring none other than Kate Upton. It was easy to figure out why she made the cover for a second time. Hold on, are you seriously sitting there waiting for me to tell you why? Sorry buddy, you’re beyond help at this point.
Anyway, more photos and screen caps from the shoot came out and they’re wonderful. If I had to describe it, I’d say they’re like floating on a puffy white cloud… while being jerked off by angels.

After yesterday’s cover, today we’ve got some pictures from this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, including Kate Upton wearing nothing but body paint. That’s right. Take as much time as you need, and just remember to breath. But while Kate landed the cover again this year, if Nina Agdal‘s spread is any indication, I predict

I was surprised by how many people still have nasty things to say about Kate Upton?s body. I really don?t get why so many people are so personally offended that Kate has managed to build a career for herself by appealing to ? GASP! ? heterosexual men as opposed to women and the fashion industry?s gay men. Of course Kate scored her second consecutive Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition cover! The issue is for straight dudes and they like how she looks ? a pretty face, long legs and big (natural) boobs. My take: she?s fine. She?s not bothering anyone. She?s harmless. And personally, I like that she?s not a size zero. I like that there?s a well-known model who has some flesh on her bones.
Anyway, SI has done their big, official reveal of their swimsuit edition and you can see the all of the photoshoots and stuff here. Kate and some of the other models were on The Late Show last night (I?m including photos below) and the SI editor, MJ Day, told People how the cover image was selected:
Kate Upton’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover is very hot ? but during her photo shoot in Antarctica, all the model could think about was the freezing cold.
“It was definitely the hardest shoot I’ve ever done,” Upton, 20, tells PEOPLE. “The best as well ? Antarctica is one of the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to. But I’m from Florida, so it was pretty painful.”
The pain paid off, however: the perfect shot earned Upton her second consecutive SI cover, a distinction not seen since Tyra Banks covered back-to-back issues in 1996 and 1997.
“Everything about the picture is perfect,” Swimsuit Issue editor MJ Day tells PEOPLE. “The light, the background, the suit. It’s different from what we’ve done in past years, and it was an exciting moment for us to have those photos work out.”
Exciting, because Day and her crew didn’t know if they’d get any usable photos out of their Antarctica shoot ? the first-ever fashion shoot on the continent.
“It was difficult,” Day admits. “First of all, it’s cold, even though we were there in summer. The windchill was sub-zero ? the elements are really working against you.” As the crew dealt with a whole host issues ? batteries dying in the cold, crazy weather rolling in and out ? Upton was a total pro, Day says. “She never complained. She’d just say, ‘Okay, let’s go do it again.’”
Because of costs and the planning required to go to Antarctica ? Day says this shoot was three years in the making ? Upton was the only model taken to the faraway locale.
“I knew that if I needed to bury someone in clothing, I needed her physique and curves to come through,” Day explains. “So to bring her was obvious: I knew I could put a one-piece on her and she wouldn’t look flat, she’d still look voluptuous and healthy and shapely and sexy.”
Upton’s now-infamous Canada Goose Chilliwack Bomber coat, paired with white Letarte by Lisa Cabrinha bottoms, was an afterthought. “I figured, why not a coat?” Day says. “We threw it on, took maybe 100 frames, then moved on. Then that night, the photographer and I were looking at photos, and he said, ‘I don’t know, could this be it?’ It just had that energy.”
The only downside of the whole experience was the fact that the cover leaked on Friday, four days before it was supposed to be revealed. “I didn’t get to tell Kate she was the cover, which was kind of sad,” Day says. “I wanted to see the look on her face when she found out.”
In fact, Upton found out from fans, via Twitter. But despite the early reveal, she’s still beyond excited about the feat.
“It was an accomplishment just to get through the shoot,” she says. “I didn’t even think about the possibility of being the cover until after I thawed out a bit! But now it’s like, wow ? I actually went down there and was able to accomplish that. I’m part of history, and it’s a great feeling.”

That?s interesting that Kate didn?t go into the photoshoot thinking that she was going to be the cover. You know who?s probably really pissed off? Irina Shayk. I just get the feeling that Irina thought this was going to be her year (especially after last year, in which many people thought she should have gotten the cover too).
