The new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl is causing a little bit of a stir.

Kate Upton, 19, will don a bikini bottom that is -- well, barely there.

Upton is wearing a tiny red-and-brown, sparkle-covered string bikini on the cover of this month's issue of the sports magazine. Some people believe, Upton should wear a suit that is more "age appropriate."

Upton isn't well-known, but was discovered after she posted a YouTube video of herself on the internet, according to the New York Times. In the video, Upton was at a Los Angeles Clippers game doing a dance known as "The Dougie."

Being on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition is a highly coveted position in the modeling business, according to the NYT.
