(CNN) – The “Sports Illustrated” swimsuit issue hit stands Wednesday, with Kate Upton on its cover for the third time.

Warning: The photos below contain material that some viewers may find objectionable.

Upton broke the news on Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“SI” released three different versions of its cover, each with Upton on it.

On two of the “special collector’s covers,” the supermodel appears topless, using her arm to partially cover herself.

On the third, she wears a top that is half-open.

She’s been labeled curvy by industry standards but said she rejects labels because beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Celebrity spreads inside the issue include model Christie Brinkley posing alongside her daughters.

The 63-year-old Brinkley first appeared on the cover in 1979.

SI started publishing its annual swimsuit issue in 1964.

Its 1989 edition, featuring Kathy Ireland on the cover, is its best-selling in history.
