Kate Upton covers the February issue of V magazine. She’s styled as Bridget Bardot, and she mostly pulls it off. The mag’s website has some weird interactive slider where viewers can pretend to “undress” Kate with an overlay image. In reality, all of the hormonal dudes who run to the V home page in hopes of seeing a fully undressed Kate will be dismayed to find they’re only seeing her in lingerie. Silly rabbits.
The interview excerpts release so far aren’t earth shattering, but they will do. I like how Kate’s talking back to that rude Victoria’s Secret rep who called her a “page 3 girl” and “a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.” Let’s do this:
On getting dissed by a VS rep: “I had just gotten my cover of Sports Illustrated that day. I wasn’t used to that kind of media swirl. I had never met her, so it really came out of nowhere.” Kate says the snarky comments were her “introduction to being in the spotlight and having people you’ve never met have an opinion of you.”
On acting: She admits being “completely out of her league” starring alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in The Other Woman. “I make no bones about it,” she adds, “I just listened and paid attention.”
Her nickname for her rack “The ladies! Everyone brings them up, so I have to have something to call them.”
Why doesn’t she keep her clothes on? “Because I don’t want to!”

Kate’s obviously having fun with some really lame questions from the journo. We all know that she’s primarily a swimsuit model, so of course she doesn’t keep her clothes on. I think a certain magazine is trying to stir up some controversy where there is none. Kate is a cute, bubbly blonde who is willing to indulge male and female fantasies alike with her various shoots. Men love her, and (most) ladies don’t find her to be threatening. She’s also smart enough to tell us all she’s not a toy. Kate’s here to do her job, plain and simple.

I love her body but that red outfit is “ill-fitting.”
She doesn’t have the best body, but her “ladies” are magnificent. And her face is gorgeous.
i don’t see the fascination with her body either,such a high waist and very thin legs. But she does have a pretty face.
I have a high waist and very thin legs, in fact there isn’t much difference in my body and hers. Nice body shaming Neffie! That’s so mean! Just kidding, I don’t care and I am sure she doesn’t either.
what is the best body, may i ask? and what’s wrong with having a high waist? if beauty is an exact set of measurements (that’s inherently impossible to achieve because, well, science) then i’d like to know where i can find it.
I think her body is beautiful. High waist? Seriously? Give me a high waist, then.
Everyone is entitled to have a preference. Personally, she doesn’t make me want to buy clothes she wears, but our body types are not at all the same.
Satty
Google The Golden Ratio. You’ll find numerous sites talking about how certain measurments bring around an ideal form of beauty. You may not agree with it, but a part of your brain sure does.
Sorry, but as a model, I’m very familiar with industry standards. Her body doesn’t meet ANY of them. I can honestly see why Anna Wintour dislikes her so much.
It’s not a bad body at all, it’s a great body…but no model is she.
Plus she reeks of trailer trash. Have no idea how she’s gotten this far.
She’s pretty but I don’t really like the cover. Something is throwing me off and I’m not sure what it is, the neck kerchief maybe? The Green Acres theme song just popped in my head, maybe that’s what they were going for?
LOL, now I have the theme song stuck in my head. I see what you mean, though, I am getting an Eva Gabor vibe from the pic too. If they were going for Bardot they sort of missed the mark, IMHO.
She said she’s not going to stop taking her clothes off because she doesn’t want to. Well at least she’s honest about it.
I see cute when I look at her, not pretty. But I noticed they tried to photoshop a waistline on her in the lingerie pic.
She’s harmless. At least she’s not a size 00, she looks great.
I think Kate Upton’s beautiful too. In the above link to the previous article, I like what she said to guys who were up in her grill “Figure your shit out” and to back off, basically.
Imma start calling this girl ‘Halloween’ because she always looks like she’s playing dress up.
or pin up! which is in my opinion a good thing, especially if you want to win with a certain target group.
Wow, I thought that first pic was Lohan…just wow. I’m going back to bed!
She looks great on this cover. She’s making quite a name for herself, being “just a swimsuit model” and all. Good for her.
Hmm… amazing how different the shape of her inner thighs is on the cover shot to real life. And the defined waist!
Why magazine’s don’t just find one perfect female form and copy and paste an outfit and head onto it as required like those cut out paper dolls we had as kids, I don’t know…
Yeah…I was like gurl-this is not your waist and you know it. And I would guess that there is already something like you suggested, they just exchange some parts, like if the actress has great legs, this is the only part that will be her and the rest is just taken from some perfect female body.
I thought the same thing, that waist is photo shopped. She has a more boxy shape and has never looked that curvy at the waist area.
YUP! My first thought too – both the waist curvature and the inner thighs were DEFINITELY photoshopped. Looks great like that – you can tell in the red coat she’s built more like a giant rectangle.
Well, I kind of get it, she has no waist, so people who are forced to put her on covers photoshop one for her.
She’s lucky to be on any covers at all.
I like her boobs and her face. Yeah, rest of the body is not so model-like, even for a swimsuit model, but her girls, faker or not, are spectacular and she seems fun!
She’s a model and is going to get paid to show her bits. I say, more power to her. I would be walking around naked all the time (at home) if I looked like that.
As they say, if you’ve got it…
She is stunning.
Wow her boobs are actually supported! Like she is in a top that fits her. It’s a miracle.
Nice bod.
I think she seems like a cool, grounded chick. The Other Woman looks like it’s going to be funny, I can’t wait to see it.
I love Kate Upton. You go girl!
Hm. I like her.
I’ll never for the life of me understand all the griping about this girl’s body. I see her being slammed left and right (not just here, on lots of websites) for being too boxy, not having enough of a waist, not having a big enough thigh gap, etc. Good lord, if her body is worthy of so much criticism, I’d hate to hear what people have to say about mine. Good thing I’m not a model, I guess!
But that’s just it. You’re not a model. Therefore nobody has any business criticising your figure. However, if, like Kate Upton, you’re making a pile of cash from your body alone, and are being hyped up as the sexiest thing since Marilyn Monroe, then your body is fair game for criticism.
Well, I kind of get it, she has no waist, so people who are forced to put her on covers photoshop one for her.
She’s lucky to be on any covers at all.
Why do women have to be non threatening or “harmless” in order to be liked by women?
As for Kate, she seems sweet and I’m a breast man so every time she’s in a bikini I think she looks great. Also I don’t pay much attention to her being pear or boxy shaped…nor do I really know what that means.
I love her. She’s here to show that scary skinny is NOT the beauty standard for women and never was.
I don’t get the hype around her. She’s just kind of there, for me.
It’s Brigitte Bardot, not Bridget.
She looks best without clothes, imo.
