Kate Upton 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover Pictures

Kate Upton donned a little white dress to unveil her new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in NYC today. A huge billboard of the cover on display in Times Square features Kate in a skimpy bikini with a sexy smile on her face; the photo shoot took place in Sydney. She later headed to The Late Show for her first official appearance as an SI star. 19-year-old Kate, who was voted the second most desirable woman in a recent AskMen.com poll, follows in a long line of ladies to be honored with the coveted spot, including Brooklyn Decker, Bar Refaeli and Irina Shayk. Kate was featured in last year's Swimsuit Issue wearing a painted-on bikini, and has also modelled for Victoria's Secret.
