By Evie Scott on September 16, 2025 at 6:00 PM EDT

Kate Upton is dropping jaws on Instagram as she displays her signature curves in a plunging bikini. The 32-year-old, who is best known for her Sports Illustrated Swim shoots, sizzled in her eye-popping bathing suit in January, although the Instagram repost likely dates back quite a few years. In this post, Kate modeled another devilish swimsuit to display her assets, and for one fan, this was "happy zone" material. Kate, who made May 2024 headlines for a bombshell return to SI Swim, was also told she's already up on the fan's wall in poster mode. The mom of one was likely in her early to mid-20s at the time of the photo. See it ahead, plus Kate's hottest shots.

Going low-rise in string-tied briefs, Kate drove fans wild with her killer body, completing her look with her luscious blonde locks worn down and in layers. The wife to Justin Verlander added a warming face of makeup, complete with bronzer and blush, also puckering up with a rosy lip.
"Yep...gotta a poster on my wall quite similar to the one posted here, although I like her bikini in this pic a little better. Right in my happy zone," one fan replied. Another told the swimsuit queen that she was "sweet, beautiful," and "lovely." This wouldn't be the first time Kate Upton has driven fans nuts with her curves.

Speaking to Yahoo Style, Kate Upton revealed:
“I’m still not confident in a bathing suit!” She added: “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.” Follow us on Facebook for more of Kate's best photos!
