Kate Upton in PRADA for Elle UK September 2014

Supermodel Kate Upton is clad in PRADA for the cover of Elle UK's September 2014 edition photographed by Matt Jones (Trish South). Fashion styling is courtesy of Anne-Marie Curtis, hair by hair stylist Kevin Ryan for Art + Commerce, make by makeup artist Quinn Murphy for Cloutier Remix.

‘When I first started modelling, I was a normal catalogue model,’ Kate explains in the accompanying interview, speaking about her stratospheric rise to fame – with that body. ‘Then, I became a woman, and I was really excited about becoming a woman. Because I’m from Florida, it’s all about being in bathing suits. It’s a different view of beauty there. You are ugly if you don’t have a curvy body. And I didn’t have one, and then I got one, and thought, “Yessss!” ‘And then people say: “Oh, wow, you’re healthy.” 'And you’re like, “Wait – what? I’ve been begging for this body my whole life!”’ – from ELLE UK
