PHOTOS: Kate Upton Finally Makes It
Kate Upton's famous figure has been covered (sort of) in everything fromred bikinisto, well,red, white and blue bikinis. But it appears thatSports Illustrated's 2012 cover girlis making heavier layers a habit. Case in point:her second, completely covered Vogue spreadinthe magazine's November issue.
Upton wears Donna Karan New York, Narciso Rodriguez, Jason Wu and Ralph Lauren Collection (!) in her Vogue shoot, her second this year. Entitled"The New Girl: Kate Upton,"the story is Upton's biggest yet, featured not in the "front-of-the-book"like her July 2012 Vogue storybut rather prominently in the back of the mag with the rest of the cover stories. Does this mean we can finally abandon the storyline of Kate Upton's rise and declare, once and for all, that she's "made it"?
Almost.As the Vogue article puts it,"Yes, swimsuit modeling is modeling, but it is a kind of modeling that has little in common with what’s going on in the studios of Joseph Altuzarra or Michael Kors." (We can just hearAnna Wintour pursing her lipsin a most impressive display of restraint.) It's clear Upton's history of skimpy swimsuits andCat Daddyingare stillthestory, with her achievements in fashion merely a pleasant surprise.
But she's certainly on her way.A smaller Vogue storywas the first step, then camethe cover of Carine Roitfeld's heralded CR Fashion Book, thena full Vogue spread. The final step just might be a Vogue cover, a surefire way to seal the deal if there ever was one.
