After being heavily criticised for having hips, boobs and a bum Kate Upton has defied critics who laughed at her dreams of moving from swimwear to couture, by landing her first US Vogue cover.
Having previously graced the covers of Vogue Italia and Vogue UK ,the 20 year old landed the front cover of the June issue where she is heralded as 'the hottest supermodel on Earth.'
In the accompanying interview, the magazine praised Kate her down to earth attitute and happy personality and Kate also took the chance to defend herself against all those god awful critics, '' The things that they're rejecting are things that I can't change. I can't change my bra size,' she said.
'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.''
Following her cover on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2012, she shot to fame after performing the 'Cat Daddy' by the Rej3ctz in a video which went viral and has since amassed more than 16 million views.
'I didn’t buy the magazines that had models on the covers, because I didn’t know them. So I think this kind of gives me, as a model, a personality that people can connect with,' she explains.
Kate is hoping that her career will see her working in films and designing lingerie, as well as modelling.
'I never set out to be on the runway', she said. 'I feel like I trust my career path. I would love to have my own lingerie line'
Last year she was rejected by a casting agent for the Victoria Secret runway show.
What a mistake that was!
