Kate Upton got sexy in a swimsuit for the cover of the June issue of Vogue, which is available on newsstands May 21. The go-to cover girl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is making waves in more than just modeling. Along with making her debut on American Vogue, she is taking her talents to the big screen. Kate is currently filming The Other Woman alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in NYC. She's known for her figure, but has also faced criticism for her curvaceous physique. In the magazine, she addresses her critics and also reveals her confidence, opening up about loving her body, growing into her figure in her native Florida, as well as her next career moves. Here is more from Kate Upton in Vogue:

• On criticism over her figure: "It was hard at first. You sit there and you're like 'Is something wrong with me?' The things that they're rejecting are things that I can't change. I can't change my bra size. They're natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great."
• On feeling comfortable with her body growing up: "In Miami, boobs are fantastic. I was so proud of them. I was so excited. Are you kidding? I'm in Florida, and I'm constantly in bikinis. I was like, Yes! Killing it! All the girls on the beach are gonna be so jealous!"
• On making it big: "If I'm going to make it as a model, I've got to be a celebrity. My work seems to be my priority at this point in my life. I never set out to be on the runway. I feel like I trust my career path. Acting I'm very interested in. I'm American — more is more!"

Carey Mulligan channeled her Great Gatsby character, Daisy Buchanan, for the cover of Vogue's May issue, which is available on April 23. Inside the publication, she talked about working on the "exhausting and quite overwhelming" production in Australia and shared her excitement about her acting success. While waiting for the movie to hit theaters in May, Carey is also settling into her new home in London that she bought with her husband, Marcus Mumford. Here's more from Carey Mulligan in Vogue:

• On moving into her new London home with husband Marcus Mumford: "I still haven't moved everything into my grown-up house. My mum and I were in my bedroom last night because that's where all my stuff went when I got back from Sydney. We were tearing through, trying to find it [her Gatsby workbook]. I had Marcus check at home. I think I've lost it."
• On filming The Great Gatsby: "It was crazy and exhausting and quite overwhelming, the biggest, craziest production I've ever been involved in."
• On her acting success: "It's unsettling that you get exactly what you wanted. Not like some version of it, not a slightly lesser version of it, but exactly. You're like: This is weird. It is weird."

Michelle and Barack Obama's new Vogue interview proves they're just as cool as you probably suspected. In the April issue, which features the first lady looking vibrant on the cover wearing a midnight-blue Reed Krakoff sleeveless dress, the Obamas joke about hitting the clubs, quote Beyoncé, and share how they approach their marriage with teamwork.

When asked about DC critics who complain that the Obamas are antisocial, Michelle cut off the president before he could answer and said, "Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole. You know, we have small kids; they're growing every day." Although, the president might just go out on the town more, now that his daughters are becoming teenagers. He told Vogue: "Now that they want less time with us, who knows? Maybe you'll see us out in the clubs.” Then the president added, "Let's put it this way: I did an awful lot of socializing in my teens and 20s."

As for his marriage, Barack sees his wife not only as a supporter, but also as a partner. He said, "I think it would be a mistake to think that my wife, when I walk in the door, is, Hey, honey, how was your day? Let me give you a neck rub. It's not as if Michelle is thinking in terms of, How do I cater to my husband? I think it's much more, We're a team, and how do I make sure that this guy is together enough that he's paying attention to his girls and not forgetting the basketball game that he's supposed to be going to on Sunday?"

As for his fashion, Michelle has helped the president ditch his 20-year-old khakis. "Michelle's like Beyoncé in that song," the president explained. "'Let me upgrade ya!' She upgraded me." Michelle chimed in: "The girls and I are always rooting when he wears, like, a stripe. They're like, 'Dad! Oh, you look so handsome. Oh, stripes! You go!'"
