Her plump pout was ultra glossy and she made her blue eyes pop with smudged black eyeliner.
For an ethereal glow, the buxom blonde dusted her cheeks with a luminous rosy-toned blush.
She flashed a beaming smile while posing with her chiseled arms at her sides.
Tuesday marked a busy day for Upton, who swung by the CBS Morning Show bright and early to open up about being selected to grace one of Sports Illustrated’s 60th anniversary covers which include seven special edition issues..
CBS’s Gayle King, Hunter McGrady and Chrissy Teigen were among the other candidates selected for the special sizzling swimsuit shoot.
For her cover, the veteran model looked flawless in a red and pink Normaillot bikini as she stood with her arms above her head and impressive abs on full display.
‘It’s about being confident in your body no matter what you look like. Your voice matters. You can empower yourself by being confident,’ she said on the morning show.
‘It looks so good,’ she told CBS host Nate Burleson when first taking a look at the finished cover. ‘It never gets old, [Sports Illustrated] always finds a way to surprise me.’

The mum-of-one went on to say that after having six covers with the magazine, she feels it was the best decision for her.
‘It completely changed my career,’ she said of landing her first cover. ‘It was a dream of mine. Sports Illustrated is the only magazine that puts your name next to your photo.’
Upton reposted the reveal to her Instagram, writing, ‘Thrilled to be back with my SI family! @yutsai88 , @mj_day and the entire SI team truly feel like family. So grateful to share this incredible journey with all of you!’
SI Swimsuit editor in chief MJ Day explained on CBS Mornings, ‘Listen, there’s a lot of swimsuit photos in this issue.
‘We’re not short on swimsuits but I like the idea of having all these women come together in a way that was different for us.
‘I want the world to realize that Sports illustrated has evolved into such a far more wide-reaching powerful vehicle of change.’
MJ added in a statement that she wanted to go all out for this year’s covers since it’s the magazine’s 60th anniversary.

‘A 60th anniversary is a big deal. It might not be recognized as lavishly as the number that 50 is, but we felt we should wholeheartedly celebrate 60, too, for a simple reason: because the journey we’ve been on for the past 10 years is something we humbly consider to be revolutionary,’ she explained.
‘We have shattered stereotypes. We have embraced diversity. We have championed inclusivity.
‘With each passing year, we have challenged ourselves to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.’
