Sports Illustrated has just released a behind-the-scenes video of curvaceous 21-year-old model Kate Upton.
The video details the events that took place during her shoot for her Sports Illustrated cover in Antarctica.
"Kate is superhuman. She's insane," one crewmember was quoted saying, talking about the model's ability to still pose despite freezing temperatures while only wearing Sports Illustrated-famous bikini.
Watch Kate's behind the scenes video here.
Kate's cover shoot was for the February issue of Sports Illustrated.
"The 20-year-old model was photographed in the freezing cold weather aboard a cruise sailing around Antarctica for the issue, which represents models posing on all seven continents of the globe," Justjared wrote in February.
Kate Upton rose to fame when she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue when she was just 18 years old in 2011. She also went on to re-appear on the cover of SI in 2012 and 2013.
A few weeks ago, Upton also appeared on Vogue's Brazil edition, calling the photoshoot her favorite photo shoot yet.
The most distinctive feature in her shoot is the fact that Kate looks dramatically grown up. In the cover photo, Kate sports a low cut silk camisole paired with a silk jacket and pencil skirt, rendering a demure and sophisticated look.
In addition to her sophisticated outfit, Kate is also wearing a dark cat's eye makeup and slick up-do. To complement her sophisticated style, she donns heavy, dangling earrings to offer a dramatic look.
Of course, her signature curves are still evident in the shoot but is a huge step away from her swimsuit shoots that launched her career.
Kate herself refers to this shoot as the stepping stone towards another direction in her modeling career. But even before this Vogue Brazil gig, she has appeared in the famed magazine's cover for its June issue in America.
Despite her glamorized shoot for the cover of Vogue Brazil, her racy and daring photo shoots continue to surface including the ones for Choppers and a topless video of her riding a horse. Kate in a bikini is no doubt going to be a staple but seeing her dolled up for a Vogue shoot is a nice change of pace.
"Curvas Sim!" is the headline that appears on the cover of Vogue Brazil, next to her photo. Other photos in the magazine feature Kate wearing a skin-tight black dress and another one in a white fur coat that has a retro throwback feel to it. All of the outfits worn by Kate during the shoot are taken off Miu Miu's Spring 2013 Collection.
Kate Upton's Vogue Brazil cover shoot is set for the magazine's July issue.
