Transitioning horseback riding dreams into modeling aspirations came easily to this Michigan gal. In 2008, the fashion fantasy became reality when Kate Upton made the daring decision to step into a casting call in Miami, and ended up booking her very first job!

Since booking her first job, Kate has modeled for Garage, Victoria’s Secret, Beach Bunny Swimwear, Dooney & Bourke as well as become the face of Guess. Kate caught the attention of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editors, and made her first appearance in the 2011 issue – on not only the inside pages but also the cover inset! Fans were immediately attracted to Kate’s infectious laughter and the beauty was eventually named “Rookie of the Year.”

To add to her rapidly growing career, Kate became a spokesmodel for SoBe, where she encourages people to "Try Everything." One of her most infamous moments was during a Los Angeles Clippers game where she performed her rendition of The Dougie in a YouTube clip that quickly went viral!
