If there’s anyone who is best known for her SI Swimsuit appearances, it’s Kate Upton. The supermodel made her debut with the magazine in 2011, and her most recent feature with the publication was in 2018. She’s landed the cover three times, participated in body painting photo shoots, was photographed in freezing weather and even modeled in zero gravity throughout her six years with the magazine.

“Those are the campaigns I want to do and the career I want to have—to inspire women to love themselves,” the mom of one, who is married to New York Mets pitcher Justin Verlander, said. “That’s a balance of working hard and eating healthy but also enjoying life and having cheat days and for the emphasis not to be on the ideal perfect body. It makes me proud to be asked back.”

Below are six of our favorite photos from Upton’s 2017 cover photo shoot in Fiji with photographer Yu Tsai.
