Kate Upton featured on back-cover of SI Swimsuit issue

Although Kate Upton wasn’t featured on the front cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue (Nina Agdal, Lilly Aldridge and Chrissy Teigen were given the honor), the 21-year-old Upton, who was the cover model the last two year’s, still has a prominent role in the edition.

It was announced that Kate Upton will be gracing the the first-ever “flip-side cover” on Tuesday, February 18th, the same day the issue is released.  More incentive to purchase the edition, I’d say.

Here’s a look at the front and back of the Sports Illustrated 50th edition Swimsuit issue covers:
