Why is She famous Kate Upton Quote " I just want to get married in a bathing suit. Deal with it." 87 Sex Appeal 73 Success Kate Upton Biography Kate Upton was born into a political family, and her uncle is Michigan congressman Fred Upton. After her family moved to Florida, the future blonde bombshell soon discovered that she enjoyed the prospect of frolicking on the beach more than the idea of debating bills in Congress. On her family s five-acre property, Upton s best friend was the family horse, who she regularly rode and trained for national horse shows. Like many young women in the Sunshine State, Kate Upton had dreams of being a model, but her lack of height proved a drawback. For years, she was consistently the shortest girl in her school classes, but at age 15, everything changed,and she rocketed up to a height of 5 9 . Fresh off the high of her sudden growth spurt and feeling confident that her natural looks would lend themselves well to the modeling arena, Upton made her first forays into modeling in 2008 by attending an open casting call in Miami for Elite Model Management. The stars happened to align in just the right way, as she was signed by the agency that same day. Kate Upton Models For Garage And Guess After signing with Elite Model Management, Kate Upton stayed in Miami to start her modeling career, but eventually made her way up to New York City, where she gained further professional representation through IMG. Now with her feet dipped firmly in the modeling pool, Upton got her first big break through Garage, who hired her as a face for a number of clothing campaigns some of which featured Christine Teigen, the future 2010 Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year. While Christine Teigen was busy celebrating her own success with Sports Illustrated, Kate Upton experienced a career surge in 2010, as well. Besides serving as a model for Dooney & Bourke, she was hired by Guess, putting her in the company with other famous beauties, like Megan Ewing and Adriana Lima , who have all worked with the fashion giant. With Guess, Upton celebrated her status as a bona fide model by showcasing a racier side through a number of lingerie ads for the company in the fall and winter of 2010, which resulted in her face and body flaunted across New York City billboards. Kate Upton Models For Beach Bunny And Sports Illustrated The positive reception of Kate Upton s work with Guess led to additional offers from the company, along with new ones from others. With Guess, Upton added to her existing portfolio by participating in the accessories and handbag campaigns for the spring and summer of 2011, while also making time for an additional ad series for the brand that was photographed by the legendary photographer Ellen Von Unwerth . Beach Bunny Swimwear took notice of her work with Guess and hired her to front their swimwear campaign, while Jenna Leigh Lingerie signed her, as well. Kate Upton s biggest 2011 highlight and early career highlight, for that matter came when she was selected to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. It was a serendipitous turn of events, given that she had missed the initial casting for the issue and the magazine had already filled its modeling roster before she met with photographers. Nevertheless, she made the cut as a featured paint model, meaning that she wore carefully-placed body paint rather than a swimsuit. Her appearance in the magazine led to an invitation to enter late-night folklore, courtesy of David Letterman, by presenting alongside 10 models from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, including Alyssa Miller, Chrissy Teigen and the Top 10 Good Things About Appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition list. She was further honored by Sports Illustrated by being named the 2011 Swimsuit Issue Rookie of the Year. Now a red-hot industry beauty, Upton s dream of becoming an elite supermodel is well on its way to becoming a reality.
