Kate Upton will grace the cover -- three covers, actually -- of the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, as she announced Tuesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. There will be three individual versions of the cover, which you can see here:

Upton previously appeared on the annual issue's cover in 2012 and 2013, so this year she joins an exclusive group of models who've done it three times. Also in that club are Christie Brinkley (who's back again this year, along with her daughters), Cheryl Tiegs, Elle Macpherson, Kathy Ireland and Daniela Peštová. Macpherson holds the all-time record with five covers, so Kate's still got a lot of work to do if she wants that crown.

Here's a closer look at all three cover editions, plus Kate's previous two:
