Normally, when you go to a beach, everybody is wearing bikinis, but on a film, you're the only one. There's like 60 people staring at you. They're doing their jobs, but they're still staring at you.
Kate UptonI knew nothing about fashion growing up, because in Florida you just wear bikinis and flip-flops. But kids can be cruel, and they used to make fun of me for having long legs and bushy eyebrows. My mom would flip through magazines and say, "Look, all these models have that too." I decided I wanted to be a model.
Kate UptonFashion can give you confidence. And things have definitely changed in the industry, mostly for the positive. We're more accepting now. For me, someone like Ashley Graham, who loves her body and is always talking about it, is inspiring.
Kate Uptonhe things that theyโre rejecting are things that I canโt change. I canโt change my bra size. Theyโre natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I canโt change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. Itโs what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.
