It's no secret that Kate Upton's chest receives tons of attention, but the buxom model wants her bum to start getting noticed, too!

During a behind-the-scenes look at shooting her Sports Illustrated cover, the blond stunner was seen trying on an assortment of barely there bikinis for the mag.

Upton ended up deciding on one with a thong bottom, and explained her reasoning behind picking the revealing swimwear.

"You know what, my butt doesn't get that much attention so I think the shot will give it the attention that it deserves," she said while giggling.

During another shot, an assistant is shown rearranging Upton's bikini top to show off more of her cleavage.

"It helps me appear larger up top," Upton explained to the camera. "Which clearly I need help in."

Upton is currently gracing the cover of Vogue U.K.'s June 2014 issue, lookingas chic as ever in a floral retro-inspired bikini.

She posed in the Caribbean and touched upon one of her all-time idols, Marilyn Monroe.

"I always thought Marilyn was so beautiful and iconic. It was amazing to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her," says the budding actress, who stars in The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.

"But I feel like nowadays it's easy to be genuine and show your personality, whereas I don't think Marilyn had that opportunity. And clearly she had a dark side, and I don't have that."
