Katherine "Kate" Upton
(born June 10, 1992) is an American model and actress, known for her
appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Upton was named Rookie of the Year following
her first SI appearance in 2011 and was the cover model for the 2012 and 2013
issues. She was also the subject of the 100th Anniversary Vanity Fair
cover.
Katherine Upton was born in St. Joseph, Michigan, and raised in
Melbourne, Florida. She is the daughter of the former Texas state tennis
champion, Shelley Upton, and high school athletics director Jeff Upton. She
attended Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. Her uncle is U.S. Representative Fred
Upton (R-MI). Upton's great-grandfather, Frederick Upton, was co-founder of
appliance manufacturer and marketer Whirlpool Corporation.
Upton has expressed that her belief in God is important to her. During a
photo shoot, someone joked about a cross necklace she wore, "Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would
be religious," then took the necklace
from her to do the shoot. Upton stated about the incident: "I was really affected by that. The whole
thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me, at all times."
As a result, Upton had a cross tattooed on the inside of her finger.
As a young equestrian, Upton showed at the American Paint Horse
Association and competed at a national level. With her horse Roanie Pony, she
won three APHA Reserve World Championships — 13 and Under Western Riding,
13 and Under Horsemanship, and 14–18 Western Riding. She was named the 13 and
Under Reserve All-Around Champion, giving her a total of four reserve
championships (2nd place). In addition, Upton ended up third overall on the
APHA youth Top Twenty. With a second horse, Zipped, she won 14–18 Western
Riding and was included in the top 5 in 14–18 Horsemanship and 14–18 Western
Pleasure in 2009.
Kate's Career
Kate Upton attended a casting call in Miami for Elite Model Management
in 2008 and was signed by them the same day, and she eventually moved to New
York City, where she then signed with IMG Models.
Upton first modeled clothing for Garage and Dooney and Bourke. She was
the 2010–11 face of Guess. In 2011, Upton appeared in the Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Issue. She was featured in the body paint section and named Rookie
of the Year for that issue. She has since modeled for Beach Bunny Swimwear, and
has appeared in Complex and Esquire as "The Woman of
the Summer".
In April 2011, an Internet video of her doing the dougie hip-hop dance
at a Los Angeles Clippers game went viral and served to increase her popularity.
Guy Trebay of The New York Times observed that this served to illustrate
the power of social media to bestow stardom upon a model, which had previously
been the domain of top designer runway shows. In April 2012, Upton appeared in
a video of herself performing the Cat Daddy dance to the song of the same name
by The Rej3ctz, which also went viral.
Upton made an appearance in a June 2011 episode of Tosh.0 and
participated in the 2011 Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball
Game at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, in July 2011.
Upton's acting debut was in the film, Tower Heist, as
Mr. Hightower’s Mistress. It was released in November 2011. She also
appeared in The Three Stooges as Sister Bernice.
Kate appeared on the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Issue, released in February 2012. As of that month, her Twitter account had
a following of 1,207,187 people as of January 2014. Upton has also recounted
the negative aftereffects of the 2012 Sports Illustrated cover, saying,
"I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. Every single guy I met
was either married or about to be married, and I felt like I was their bachelor
present or something."
Upton has appeared on the covers of Vogue Italia, British
Vogue, CR Fashion Book, Cosmopolitan, French ELLE, GQ,
Italian GQ, German GQ, Jalouse, Sunday Times Style,
Esquire, The Daily, and Muse Magazine.
In 2012, she was ranked the fifth sexiest model by MODELS's. She ranked
#3 on the American publication of AskMen's Top 99 Women for 2013. In
2012, she was listed on Maxim's HOT 100 list, citing her photo shoots
with Sports Illustrated.
Upton was the cover model for the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Issue for the second consecutive year. Parts of her 2013 Sports
Illustrated pictorial were filmed in Antarctica and Upton suffered from
failing hearing and eyesight due to the extreme cold.
After getting the November 2012 Vogue Italia cover photographed
by Steven Meisel and the January 2013 Vogue UK cover, Upton landed the
June 2013 Vogue cover by Mario Testino. She was then photographed by
Annie Leibovitz for the October 2013 100th anniversary cover of Vanity Fair.
In September 2013 was named Model of the Year at the 10th Style
Awards at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
Kate Upton in Zero Gravity
Sports Illustrated has taken Kate Upton to a place few have gone before
— space. She was photographed in a bikini in “zero gravity space” for this year’s
50th anniversary issue.
According to the New York Post,
the 21-year-old model, was shot in a ‘zero gravity space’ so that her
breasts would appear weightless. Upton was shot in a zero-gravity chamber in a
silver swimsuit with weightless ample bosom and big hair that made her “look
like something out of ‘Barbarella.’ ”Last year, when Upton was photographed for
Sports Illustrated in Antarctica, Jimmy Fallon joked with the beauty that her
next cover should be shot in space. “Think about this; there’s no gravity,” he
quipped.
Plus, Kate got some prep later in the year with a Vanity Fair shoot that
saw her lounging on the moon. (It appears there was at least some gravity at
work.) If anyone could handle a space-age fashion story with a silver moon suit
of a bikini, it would be Kate. We're just a little concerned how a plastic
helmet might muss up her perfect hair.
We'll have to wait until the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits in
mid-February to see.
