Kate Upton dropped jaws as the birthday girl in June, when Sports Illustrated Swim shared a throwback snap to celebrate her birthday. Marking the blonde's 33rd birthday earlier this summer, the magazine shared an old shot of her, and it was beach vibes galore as she sizzled in a barely there swimsuit. Nearly popping out of a bathing suit that barely contained her ample curves, Kate highlighted her bombshell figure from the shore, with SI Swim making sure to send her all the best on her birthday. Kate, who made her SI Swim debut in 2011, returned to the magazine last May, partaking in its 60th anniversary celebrations.

Scroll for the photo. Driving fans wild with her hourglass silhouette, Kate busted out of her tight pink swimsuit, rocking an eye-popping, low-cut swimsuit with coral accents.
Going segmented with tons of cut-outs that accentuated her chest, the mom of one lifted her arms to hang on to thin tree branches, posing with the ocean behind her while enjoying her tropical shoot.

Flashing her toned tummy via more cut-outs as her complicated swimsuit showed as much skin as possible, Kate rocked knotted rope accents between her bust, plus a horizontal midriff band that accentuated her killer waistline.
The wife to Justin Verlander, who stands at 5'10'' tall, highlighted hints of her long legs, completing her look with her hair worn down and slightly messy for a natural finish. The former Canada Goose ambassador also sported a warming face of makeup, layering on a sunkissed layer of bronzer over foundation.

Meanwhile, her pinkish lip matched her swimsuit. "We're wishing Kate Upton a happy birthday today, and to celebrate, we're taking a look back at one of her best photo shoots: Aruba 2018!" a caption read.
The above photo, posted on Kate Upton's Instagram last year, showed less skin, but fans still got a reminder of her curves. Going skintight in a metallic-effect, blue dress with long sleeves, the stunner highlighted her figure while attending a party thrown by SI Swim. Kate fronted the magazine last year, also showing up for the various parties thrown to mark the magazine's 60th year.
