Kate Upton Lifting Arms While Topless In A Convertible 'Could Be Anyone'

Kate Upton received a mix of praise and backlash as she delighted fans with her topless curves ahead of the pandemic. In June 2018, the SI Swim model was featured on the magazine's X, where a repost of her lifting her arms while in a convertible reminded fans of her bombshell curves. Kate, who is known for her trademark bikini, surprised fans with even more skin on show than usual, although with her face mostly hidden, it's understandable that some fans were saying she "could be anyone." The 32-year-old did, however, gain plenty of positive remarks.

Scroll for the photos. Sending out wild child vibes as she threw her arms up in the air, Kate drew the eye to her ample assets, also flaunting her toned torso and arms as she enjoyed an open-air vehicle with luxurious leather seats.
The Vosa Spirits partner, who added a fun baseball cap for a sporty finish, wore absolutely nothing up top, exposing her sideboob and cleavage while her cap told fans it was a "WILD ONES" affair.

Kate was given a nod in a caption reading: "WATCH: @KateUpton shares topless video to thank fans for birthday wishes." Comments came in fast.
"Beautiful woman," one replied. "That could be anyone," another wrote. "She showed nothing here lol. Do it or don't. Stop teasing lol," a third added. Kate is no newb to teasing and has been doing just this since her 2011 debut with iconic magazine, Sports Illustrated Swim. The mom of one has graced the magazine countless times, with a notable May 2024 return making headlines as she joined in SI Swim's 60th anniversary celebrations.

Kate Upton didn't have long to prepare for her return shoot, and trainer Ben Bruno has revealed just how much effort she put in.
“Training-wise, she pushes herself very hard, but she’s also great about listening to her body and not overdoing it. She likes to lift heavy weights (hates anything over 6 reps haha) and that’s what we do most of the time, but we also do some cardio 2-3 times a week, either after strength workouts or on separate days," he told the magazine.
