Kate Upton had fans going a little too wild as she flashed her bare chest while playing wet t-shirt competition. An old photo of the 32-year-old has gained popularity on Instagram, and while it’s well over a decade old, fans don’t seem to care. Kate, who is best known for her iconic status with Sports Illustrated Swim, flaunted her bombshell figure from an outdoor pool in this snap, one pushing the nudity boundaries as she exposed her curves while braless. Posing all soaked from the pool, Kate flashed her famous assets, and one punny fan couldn’t help but comment on her “tice nitties.”

Kate Upton is now a legend, but her early days were bumpy. The blonde was initially encouraged to abandon modeling, something she opened up about while discussing the level of body-shaming she’s been subject to.
“She is too obvious. She’s like a page 3 girl. She’s like a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and the kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy,” Victoria’s Secret executive Sophia Neophitou said as The New York Times reported Kate being turned away from the industry.
