“Hello Sexy!” The blonde bombshell certainly sells magazines, as exhibited by the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover that launched her as a household name. She has since then appeared on numerous magazine covers, including American Vogue in June; and Italian, British and Brazilian Vogues. In a curve-hugging red Lanvin dress with gold Lanvin jewelry, Upton’s poised to do so again on this cover. At 650 pages, this is Elle’s biggest fashion issue yet. It’s nice to see the magazine reminiscing about its 1990s glory days by putting a model on the cover—we’ve seen too many actresses and pop stars over the last few years—but we would have preferred someone less obvious. The interview, however, contains plenty of nuggets: “After my first Sports Illustrated cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month,” Upton admits inside.”Every single guy I met was either married or about to be married, and I felt like I was their bachelor present or something.”
