Kate Upton Stars in Glamour, Talks Having Body Confidence

Kate Upton stuns in stripes on the October 2016 cover of Glamour Magazine. Photographed by Carter Smith, the blonde beauty wears a long-sleeve top and pencil skirt from Victoria Beckham’s fall collection. Inside the magazine, Kate heads to the beach in cozy looks. Stylist Jillian Davison selects a mix of coats and sweaters from the likes of Burberry, Max Mara, Maison Margiela and more.

Talking about the pressure to lose weight by the fashion industry, Kate reveals, “At first I tried to diet to become their image, but eventually I realized that it wasn’t realistic—that this is just the shape of my body. So I had to block them out. I think that the people who are the loudest about wanting to change you are the people with the least amount of vision and creativity.”
