Photos: Kate Upton defends her buxom figure in 'Vogue'

  • May 10, 2013
  • May 10, 2013 Updated Feb 22, 2014

Kate Upton has gone from a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover model to the front page of Vogue. Upton says she is proud of her body and loves it. She is quoted in several publications as saying she can't change her bra size and that her breasts are natural. Upton tells Vogue that runway modeling is "not what I set out to do" and that she wants to front a major fashion campaign and maybe even launch her own lingerie line. Critics have attacked her figure, but she certainly has her supporters. Do you think she fits the mold of the blonde bombshell like Marilyn Monroe?
