Princess Of The Caribbean! Kate Upton Sexy Bikini Shoot

Princess Of The Caribbean! Kate Upton Sexy Bikini Shoot

FWS - Kate Upton has one of the most alluring bodies in the world. And earlier this week the 25-year-old pinup from Missouri was showing off her assets as she posed in swimwear for a Sports Illustrated photo shoot on the island of Aruba in the Caribbean.

The blonde bombshell, who is engaged to Astros baseball player Justin Verlander, looked to be in the best shape of her life as she flashed her long, lean legs and taut tummy while the waves crashed up on a pristine beach.

The model was the cover star for last year's SI swimsuit edition and it looks as if she may be taking it again as she worked her best moves on the second day of her beach photo shoot.

Her first look was a dark bikini that went well with her Caribbean sun-kissed skin and honey dyed locks.

Next came a silver one piece that had a cut out. She was seen pulling at it, which SI models often are required to do.

The catwalker's long locks whipped in the wind and she wore flattering makeup that made the most of her Vogue cover girl face.

Upton has said many times she struggles with feeling good about herself while in swimwear.

In May she told Yahoo Style: 'I’m still not confident in a bathing suit!
'That’s why you eat healthy and work out, to feel your best. You always have struggles. It’s not like I always feel my best. Everybody has moments where they don’t feel confident in a bikini. It’s what we’re striving for: self-love.

'We work our way up. When I don’t feel my best, that’s OK.' She also said she had critics early on. 'Honestly, because coming from the fashion world, weight when I first started modeling was very important,' she said. 'How much you weighed, how much you needed to lose, whatever it was.'

But these days she said she is fine with her shape.  'I’m not trying to be fit for a number on a scale. Whenever I’m happiest, I try to maintain that. I don’t need a number,' she said. Upton added she has never owned a scale in her life. The leggy wonder has also told People she learned as a teenager to deal with haters.

'I got my first cover when I was 19,' she began.

'After my first cover, critics were discussing whether I was fat or not. I had this huge moment in my career and they were tearing it apart. I have to thank the people who did that because it really made me sit back and find out who I was and what meant something to me, and how I thought about my body.

'At 19, I wasn’t thinking about that. I sat there answering all these questions I had about my body because I really didn’t know.'

But she rationalizes that if she only has haters because she has done well.
'If you don’t have haters, then you’re probably not successful,' the Tower Heist actress said.

'They lashed out on me because they felt insecure about themselves. I realise that the confidence that I had in my body was actually meant to inspire women to love themselves for all their different flaws.'

On Saturday Kate was seen at her beau's game.

She jumped and yelled from the stands, egging on her Houston Astros fiance Justin Verlander as he helped his team win 2-1 against the New York Yankees at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

The star looked terrific in a long sleeved Gucci  pink top with a sunburst of gold glitter around the neckline.

She teamed it with a black skirt with a gold pattern for Game 2 of baseball's American League Championship Series.

The beautiful blonde's beau had a great game.

Justin, 35, is the Astros' starting pitcher and he dominated the Yankees with 13 strikeouts.

And Kate was excitedly supporting him every step of the way from a suite in the stadium with a gang of friends.

After the game Kate met with Justin, who looked dashing in a blue suit, white shirt and red tie.

The couple got engaged in 2016 after three years together.

But the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition model seems in no hurry to tie to the knot.
At the premiere of her movie, The Layover in August, she told Extra: 'I'm really excited about the engagement and I'm really excited about getting married. It's just the wedding planning sucks.'

However, she is looking forward to picking out her dress.

She shared: 'They're so many dresses and designers it's been fun to look around. I’m excited to finalize everything.'(dailymail)
