Supermodel Kate Upton welcomed the month of July by posting a topless selfie on Instagram.
In a yellow-filtered photo, captioned "In bed with @mertalas and @macpiggott❤️❤️❤️❤️#nofilter #becauseiminamazinglight" the 22-year old Sports Illustrated model appeared topless, with nothing but a sheet to cover her up. She also looked made up, which means that she's probably prepping for a shoot--tagged users @mertalas (Mert Alas) and @macpiggot (Marcus Piggot) are both fashion photographers.
The photo now has nearly 80,000 likes on the photo sharing network. View Kate's posts on her official Instagram account.
In a recent interview with Vogue, Upton explained how she deals with photographers: "I enjoy the red carpet for the first 10 minutes and then I'm like, 'Alright....let's go,'" she said.
"Sometimes the photographers get really bossy, like 'blow a kiss!', 'smile!' and I think, 'You don't know Mr, you're not a model! This outfit is meant to be fierce, it doesn't go with smiling!' When I first did red carpets, I used to listen and do what they said - but now I don't," she added.
Upton, who just turned 22 last month, recently starred in the 2014 romantic comedy "The Other Woman," alongside Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. She is also a regular cover girl for Sports Illustrated (2012 and 2013 issues), and was named Rookie of the year in her first appearance in the magazine.
She also recently became a Vogue cover girl, and is busy being the new face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics.
Upton has been linked to "Dancing With the Stars" dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, but she is reportedly currently dating baseball player Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers.
