Seven years ago, Kate Upton was named Rookie of the Year for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. This year, she reigns supreme as the queen of the photoshoots.
The Daily Mail got their hands on some behind the scenes footage featuring Kate Upton, and needless to say, she left very little to the imagination.
Donning nothing more than a pair of sequined gold bottoms -- which did very little to conceal her modesty -- Kate was the living, breathing embodiment of body positivity in the photos, which were taken by the "maestro," Yu Tsai.
Kate, who shared the sexy photos to her Snapchat, got on camera and said, "first shot, no top!" before laughing and running down the beach, posing happily for Tsai's camera.
Kate also gushed that Tsai "really knows how to capture a body and make you look beautiful," while complimenting the beautiful day that also featured cool water and clean sand.
The behind-the-scenes video was also featured on the official Sports Illustrated Instagram page.
Now, for obvious reasons, we can't show you the behind the scenes footage here. However, you can check out all the barely-there goodness at the link above.
