Kate Upton had fans celebrating her ahead of the global pandemic, although some threw shade. Enjoying a sunny day on the water as she stunned in a skimpy bikini from a boat in February 2020, the Sports Illustrated Swim model flaunted her bombshell curves while getting some "vitamin sea," and her social media share didn't go unnoticed.

Thrilling her Instagram fans with a display of her fierce figure, Kate wowed in an orange bikini as she posed from a yacht — unsurprisingly, many fan comments centered around the blonde's looks.

Kate Upton Thrills In Skimpy Bikini On A Boat

Scroll for the photo. Sitting cross-legged on a ledge amid wooden decking, Kate made eyes pop with her ample cleavage while modeling a low-cut, skintight bikini with thin straps. Rocking a deep neckline that accentuated her curves, the mom of one flashed hints of her toned tummy in full briefs, sitting barefoot and wearing a visor.

Shielding her eyes from beating rays and wearing her blonde locks up in a bun, Kate added orange-tinted shades to match her swimwear. The wife of Justin Verlander also sat with an orange cocktail complete with fresh slices of citrus fruit.

Squeezing her chest together a little as she drove her fans crazy, Kate returned for a more relaxed shot in a swipe right. Here, the stunner hugged her knees, melting fans with her girl-next-door charm. "Enjoying some vitamin sea," she wrote with a wave emoji. The post has now topped 300,000 likes.

The Daily Mail quickly picked up on the post, and it was here that Kate wound up shamed by some users. While one fan basically said that she's only well-known because of her "chest," another agreed, saying: "Wasn't she complaining that she was being sexually objectified and had deep emotional issues due to that? Now, she is basically showing us what made her famous. Oh god." Over 100 fans upvoted the remark.

Bikini Bombshell Told She's 'Average'

Kate Upton made her SI Swim debut in 2011. She's gone on to front the magazine countless times, alongside gracing its 60th anniversary cover in May 2024. Despite her icon status, Kate had some fans going as far as calling her "average at best."

Fortunately, the most popular comment was a loving one. Referencing 2018-born daughter Genevieve, the fan said: "She's so pretty, has a lovely face. I bet their baby is darling."
