Vogue cover: 20-year-old bombshell defends her ‘natural’ boobs and “voluptuous body” (LOOK)

Kate Upton can split opinion like no other model, with many laughing at her dreams of making the transition from swimwear to couture.

But it seems like her dreams are one step closer to reality now she has scored her first ever US Vogue cover.

The 20-year old model is the star of the June issue, and in the newly released cover, she is heralded as ‘the hottest supermodel on Earth’ and she took the opportunity to defend her voluptuous body against her critics.

In the accompanying interview,US Vogue praise Kate’s down to earth attitude and happy go lucky personality, and the model defends the curvaceous figure which has won her fans among men and women alike.

Addressing the criticism of her figure by some fashion commentators Kate told US Vogue: ‘The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size,’ she said.

‘They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things.

‘I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.’

Last year a casting agent for Victoria’s Secret’s famous catwalk shows dismissed Kate as ‘too obvious’ and ‘like a Page 3 girl’.

The blonde model appears as a latter day Marilyn Monroe in the stunning photoshoot accompanying the interview, as she poses in a modest fifties style bathing suit, and lounges on a shagpile rug in a silky blouse and spectacles.

Following her Sports Illustrated cover, she shot to fame after a sexy video of herself dancing to a rap song for photographer Terry Richardson went viral gaining 16 million views to date.

‘I didn’t buy the magazines that had models on the covers, because I didn’t know them. So I think this kind of gives me, as a model, a personality that people can connect with,’ she explains.

Kate is hoping that her career will see her working in films and designing lingerie, as well as modelling.

‘I never set out to be on the runway’, she said. ‘I feel like I trust my career path. I would love to have my own lingerie line’

Earlier this week, Kate was a star guest at the Met Gala, an annual fashion party organised by the magazine.

She showed off her model credentials in a stunning emerald gown with her blonde hair pulled back.

The June cover is not the first time Kate has graced the fashion bible after starting out as a swimwear model in Sports Illustrated two years ago.

Her first brush with the international magazine brand was when she was staring out from the front cover of Vogue Italia with the simple tagline ‘Seductive’ in November 2012.

Some critics deemed the photographs of Kate, who posed in a series of louche scenes sometimes with a cigarette in her mouth, as sleazy, but it was proof that she was starting to make in-roads in to the judgmental world of high fashion.

That same month she starred in a full fashion spread in its US counterpart.
