She wasn't named Sports Illustrated cover girl for nothing! Kate Upton turns up the heat in her new bikini collection campaign
She has made her name modelling them, so it is safe to say that Kate Upton knows a thing or two about bikinis.
The 19-year-old model simply sizzles in new pictures of her Beach Bunny collection.
Kate models a variety of colourful and incredibly skimpy designs for the brands in front of an idyllic backdrop in Belize.

Kate, who turns 20 next month, shows off her incredibly figure in bright two-pieces that flatter feminine figures.
It is easy to see why she was named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl for 2012.
Kate wears her blonde hair slicked back in a wet bun, with heavy smokey eye-make up.

Holiday dreaming: the campaign was shot on the beach in Belize
Heels on the beach? The styling included some impractical accessories
With no regard for practicality, the model ups the sex appeal with stiletto heels as she poses in the sand.
The campaign was shot on a deserted beach on Sanctuary Island, with white sand and crystal clear water.
Some of the designs are lingerie-inspired, with pink lace and polka dot patterns.

Kate said that designing for her 'favourite swimsuit line', based in California, is a 'dream come true'.
'I love all the embellishments and especially the lingerie details because they make you feel so sexy.'

White hot: The model-turned-designer said she loves the bikini's embellishments that make her 'feel sexy'
The Kate bikini is glamorous, with transparent, bejewelled panels on the bottoms' sides and cleavage. Its top half is available in a ruffled or plain style - but we can't guarantee it will give you Ms Upton's killer curves.
First seen as part of a sneak peek of the model's designs, the Kate bikini went on show at last year's Miami Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

Not just a pretty face: Kate Upton models and designs for the California-based swimwear label
Itsy bitsy: The model has been busy - her Beach Bunny range launched within days of her becoming the cover star of Sports Illustrated's coveted swimsuit edition
Tops and bottoms for the two-piece designs are sold separately and cost from $135 to $155.
The California-based label said it was 'thrilled about the design collaboration.'
Beach Bunny's CEO, Angela Chittenden, said of the new muse: 'She is sexy, yet confident and her fun loving and down to earth personality are traits that represent the Beach Bunny woman and brand as a whole.'
Pretty in pink: The Ms Upton-designed range, announced last year, launched in February. Frills, diamante details and transparent panels are part of the new line
It is not the first time a big-name model has designed for the swimwear label, last year saw Kim Kardashian and her sisters turn their hand to creating costumes for the brand.
Ms Upton has had a busy few months - having been revealed as the face of Sports Illustrated's coveted swimsuit edition, she has recently landed deals with hamburger makers Harbee's and Carl's Junior.
We imagine the entrepreneurial model's magazine covers and endorsement deals will not end there.
