Kate Upton

Kate Upton showed off her fit figure when she slipped into a white bikini to film a beach scene for The Other Woman in the Hamptons yesterday. She was joined by her co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as the two filmed a passionate kissing moment on two beach chairs. Last week, Kate and Nikolaj's costar Cameron Diaz filmed her own PDA scene nearby with Taylor Kinney. Cameron kissed Taylor for the cameras and Cameron flaunted her toned legs while they shot a romantic sunset scene at a Hamptons home. The project also stars Leslie Mann and Nicki Minaj, who is making her acting debut in the new flick.

She's got luscious blonde locks, wide eyes and a beauty mark to rival Cindy's, but model Kate Upton has also had her unfair share of detractors. Case in point? The model booker for Victoria's Secret who claimed they'd "never" use her. But after quietly and quickly adding covers and editorials in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Sports Illustrated and much more to her resume, Kate's trumped certain naysayers and made her way into the latest Victoria's Secret catalogue, nailing that vixen vibe she's known for. To celebrate Kate's little victory, we're looking back at the 20-year-old beauty's hottest looks over the years. Cast your eyes this way. . .

Kate Upton got sexy in a swimsuit for the cover of the June issue of US Vogue. The go-to cover girl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is making waves in more than just modeling. Along with making her debut on American Vogue, she is taking her talents to the big screen. Kate is currently filming The Other Woman alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in NYC. She's known for her figure, but has also faced criticism for her curvaceous physique. In the magazine, she addresses her critics and also reveals her confidence, opening up about loving her body, growing into her figure in her native Florida, as well as her next career moves. Here is more from Kate Upton in Vogue:

• On criticism over her figure: "It was hard at first. You sit there and you're like 'Is something wrong with me?' 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."
• On feeling comfortable with her body growing up: "In Miami, boobs are fantastic. I was so proud of them. I was so excited. Are you kidding? I'm in Florida, and I'm constantly in bikinis. I was like, 'Yes! Killing it! All the girls on the beach are gonna be so jealous!'"
• On making it big: "If I'm going to make it as a model, I've got to be a celebrity. My work seems to be my priority at this point in my life. I never set out to be on the runway. I feel like I trust my career path. Acting I'm very interested in. I'm American — more is more!"

The girl who landed two back-to-back Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers is now on the cover of Vogue. Kate Upton, the blonde bombshell the magazine is calling "the hottest supermodel on earth" was photographed for its June cover by Mario Testino. And in it, she's wearing — what else? — a bathing suit. But Upton's first Vogue cover isn't the only first among the glossy array of June's magazine fronts. Actress and industry darling Kerry Washington is on the June 2013 cover of Elle — the first time she's covered a major American fashion magazine. The cover, shot by Horst Diekgerdes, shows Washington in a look from Marc Jacobs.

But even though we've only just begun to dip our toes into the month of May, a number of beautiful covers have already trickled in. Take Carey Mulligan's June cover for Harper's Bazaar UK, for example. The actress, who channelled The Great Gatsby's Daisy Buchanan on the May cover of American Vogue, takes an angelic turn here in a baby pink coat from Prada's Spring 2013 collection. There are some other stunners, including Gwyneth Paltrow for Glamour UK, Karlie Kloss for Vogue Japan, and Nicolas Ghesquiere and Charlotte Gainsbourg for 032c, in which the designer discusses life after Balenciaga.

A look at those covers and more, here in the gallery.

Robert Pattinson is signing up to work with a familiar director and Will Smith is stepping into a movie as Kristen Stewart steps out. Meanwhile, his sci-fi movie Oblivion has just been released in cinemas and already Tom Cruise is signing on for another futuristic film. Get the scoop on his upcoming role, which comedy model Kate Upton is starring in, and more of the most exciting casting news this week!

There's something about a big, genuine, happy smile that makes anyone look their absolute best. Of course, Diane Kruger's immaculate makeup and hair didn't hurt the cause, but this week we were blown away by how happy she seems — and how fantastic she looks for it! We love what she's done with her hair, pulling it back sleekly enough that it shares the limelight with those incredible earrings. Emilia Clarke was another star to tuck her hair behind her ears, which framed her face (and impressive eye makeup!) beautifully. Megan Gale opted for a fresh topknot, Barbara Palvin worked one of the sexiest cat-eye flicks we've seen, and Alexa Chung got along with a matte pink lip like a house on fire. See all this prettiness right here, right now.

Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 collection, inspired by the '60s Edie Sedgwick vibe, is the sole reason why everyone, especially our favourite celebrities, are sporting graphic, retro-inspired checks right now. The bold collection of mod shifts and sheaths has appeared (so far) on Jessica Alba, Miranda Kerr, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst, Kerry Washington, Kristen Stewart, and Hailee Steinfeld (phew!) — and all these trendsetters have adapted the runway looks with their respective styling twists. We promise, it won't be easy to choose a favourite — they all make the bold pattern look modern and chic. Click on to get a closer glimpse of all the Louis Vuitton-clad ladies, then let it inspire you to mix checkers into yournew season style.

Kate Upton and her fellow swimsuit models celebrated their new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with a party in NYC last night. Kate wore a strapless red dress and got into the celebratory spirit by posing with her cover on the red carpet and later mingling with the other models, including Katherine Webb, inside the shindig. Chrissy Teigen wore a sexy floral frock and was joined by boyfriend John Legend, while Irina Shayk worked her stuff for photographers in a skin-tight purple number. Other model guests included Anne V., Cintia Dicker, Hannah Davis and Jessica Gomes.

Kate and the Sports Illustrated models have been very busy over the past few days doing press for the magazine, including appearing on The Late Show on Monday night to read off David Letterman's famous "Top Ten" list. The special issue features the Sports Illustrated models in bikinis while visiting all seven continents for their various photo spreads. Notable locales include Irina posing in Spain, Anne dropping by China, and Kate braving the cold in Antarctica — where she said her body started shutting down — to work her stuff in a two-piece.
