Kate Upton is dropping jaws with her throwback bikini body as fans prove they're nowhere near done with her 20-something days. The Sports Illustrated Swim star, 33, turned heads with her 2011 body last weekend, showing off her curves as a fan uploaded a shot from one of her runway shows. Strutting her stuff at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim that year, Kate highlighted her stunning figure in a sequin blue two-piece, showcasing her fierce cleavage and abs while marching the catwalk in heels. The blonde had fans gushing over her in the comments, with one remarking on her "nice bikini." Ahead, see the photo, plus Kate's best shots.

Wearing her shimmery look with tons of gold body chains and a pair of platform heels, Kate added even more height to her 5'10'', completing her look with her bouncy blonde hair worn down. The mom of one added a heavy face of makeup, sporting a bold red lip for a bombshell finish. Kate's runway walk took place at The Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach, FL.
"Perfect," one fan replied. Another said that they adored Kate regardless of her "age," adding that her "creativity" and "confidence" were the biggest draws for them. "Nice bikini," a third wrote. Kate exploded onto the swimwear scene that same year with her SI Swim debut, after which she graced the magazine's cover countless times. In 2024, she returned for a headline-making cover as SI Swim celebrated its 60th anniversary.

Kate Upton's Instagram is full of workout snippets, and trainer Ben Bruno has confirmed there's way more happening behind the scenes.
"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," Ben told SI Swim.
