Kate Upton is back!

The supermodel, actress and mom, 31, stars on yet another Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover — and it’s one you don’t want to miss!

On May 14, the magazine released its milestone 60th anniversary issue with the Layover actress posing in a red-and-pink ruffled and pinstripe bikini with her hair blown out into effortless beach waves. She also poses in a black lace-up one-piece.

Upton has been modeling for the publication since she made her debut in 2011 and was crowned that year’s Rookie of the Year. Upton had her first solo cover in 2012 and had the cover again in 2013. In 2014, she starred on the flip cover, and in 2017, she nabbed the cover again, making her the first model to have multiple covers.

Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady and Gayle King, who made a sizzling debut (which we should’ve seen coming after she posted those eye-popping swimsuit snaps to Instagram last November) round out the solo cover star roster.

Because four knockout covers aren’t enough for a big anniversary issue, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is launching three additional collectible covers (yep, there are seven in total!) for its 60th Anniversary Legends shoot featuring 52 of the magazine’s past and present icons including Brooklyn Decker, Christie Brinkley, Kate Love, Leyna Bloom, Lily Aldridge, Martha Stewart, Maye Musk, Molly Sims, Paulina Porizkova, Tyra Banks and Winnie Harlow (are you winded after absorbing all that star power?!).

“It’s such a huge honor,” Upton told PEOPLE exclusively in April of being a part of the epic spread.

“It really speaks to really where fashion is going and the message that [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s editor in chief] MJ Day wants to put out — women supporting women, showing different body types and having women speak for different things they believe in.”
