I think one of the reasons we love Kate Upton so much is that she evokes memories of legendary sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot. With her long blonde hair, pouty lips, adorable mole and eye-popping curves, this 18-year-old beauty is made for the silver screen! Forget scary skinny actresses, we need more all-American honeys like Kate!

Since making her debut in the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Kate’s the hottest new model of the year, and she looks impossibly delicious in the newest styles from Beach Bunny Swimwear. See more of Kate in Beach Bunny bikinis after the jump.
