Sports Illustrated and American model Kate Upton isn't wearing bikini this time but still, she looks sexy and pretty in pink on the cover of Cosmopolitan Australia June 2014 issue.

The 21-year-old blonde beauty talked about style and diet along with a number of things on her feature story on the popular women's magazine. She revealed that she feels confident about her body and hopes that she is able to inspire other women, especially those who look up to her.

According to Upton, running around in bikinis is a natural thing for her. "I grew up in Florida," Upton told the magazine.

"So it was something really natural for me."

Upton said that she is aware that some women do not have good self-esteem and often get judged. Apparently, celebrities like Upton don't get away without being judged. Even Upton herself revealed that she has been judged because of her body. Skinny Gossip once wrote an article about Upton even calling her "little piggie with huge thighs, no waist, big fat floppy boobs, and terrible body definition."

"To hear that many women don't feel that way, and they feel judged, and I've been under that judgment, too," Upton further told Cosmopolitan. "And it's not just the media, being judged hurts just as bad if it's from your colleagues, or your family, or whoever is judging you."

Recently, former Sports Illustrated model Carol Alt somehow dissed Upton, who appeared on the cover of the Swimsuit Issues for two consecutive years, 2012 and 2013. Alt said every cover girl deserves to be talked about and not just Upton. "I don't get what all the hullabaloo is," Alt said of Upton. "I think what it is, is that in this moment there's just so much social media and that's why she's had more word of mouth than anybody."

Upton visited Australia in April to promote her movie "The Other Woman." She arrived down under with her co-actresses Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. Her movie was released in Australia on April 24.

Cosmopolitan Australia isn't the only magazine that features Upton on the cover for the June issue. Upton also appears on the cover of Vogue UK.
