Kate Upton, who has newly landed on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, unveiled on Monday. The 19-year-old model well-known for her fabulous curves celebrated the however anti-dramatic victory at the SI Swimsuit Launch Party held in New York Tuesday night.
Upton was once hailed as a backlash against her skinnier lingerie model counterparts. And now it's time to talk about it again, now that a Victoria's Secret spokeswoman declared that she "would never, ever use" Kate Upton.
"She's like a Page 3 girl," Sophia Neophitou, a stylist and fashion editor of Victoria's Secret, told The New York Times.
"She's like a footballer's wife."
"The too-blond hair, that kind of face anyone with money can go out and buy."
Well, that's a lot to take in. The brain behind the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is telling us that Upton is too healthy.
While Upton has modeled for the lingerie company's catalog before, her look is "too obvious," and perhaps not elegant enough, to go on the runway according to Neophitou.
One way or another, Kate Upton is surely enjoying her fame. And having a healthy figure may as well draw more fans to her, male and female alike.
"I have had a great year," Kate Upton said. "For me, this is groundbreaking."
