Donning a pair of glittering gold bikini bottoms, model Kate Upton reminded the world why Aruba is one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

In a video posted to Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Instagram, Upton is seen teasing and posing photographer Yu Tsai, who she calls “one of my favorite photographers.”

“He really knows how to capture a body and make you feel like your most beautiful.”

Leaving a little love for Aruba, she said of the country — and the shoot — “The weather is gorgeous. The water is beautiful. So far the first shot is great.”
