Yes, I did. I was like, ‘That was disrespectful, you could have told me!’ Now, obviously, it’s fine.

Richardson is asked if he feels somewhat responsible for Upton’s rise to fame:

No. Kate was born a star.

Nude pictures in gallery

0 Comments

The model’s nude pictures will be displayed in an exhibit at The Cory Allen Contemporary Art Showroom in St. Petersburg, Fla. An artist known as XVALA is not displaying the photos themselves, but artwork created from the photos. The title of the exhibition is “No Delete”. Gallery owner Allen justifies use of the hacked photos:

This show has been in the works for about two years now. When this came out…about Jennifer Lawrence [and] Kate Upton, it was the prefect dialogue. It was about invasion of privacy—and [the artist] thought it would be the perfect time to add these as a final installment to [the collection].

The Talks interview

Interview0 Comments

Upton gives an interview to The Talks. She discusses dealing with most of the world calling her a bombshell.

It’s where I’ve started and it’s what I’ve accomplished, so I’m happy about it. But the more my career grows, I think that people will see that I have a lot more to offer and a lot more to give, but I want to do it right and that’s why it’s taking me time. I’m patient about it. Now it’s out of my hands – it has kind of been rolling on its own – but at the beginning I was micromanaging every little step. For example, I felt that my agency before wasn’t helping me in the direction I wanted to go, so I approached IMG myself. I always had in my mind where I should be at a certain stage.

When I first started modelling, I was a normal catalogue model. Then, I became a woman, and I was really excited … Because I’m from Florida, it’s all about being in bathing suits … You are ugly if you don’t have a curvy body. And I didn’t have one, and then I got one, and thought, ‘Yessss!’

Ad Appearance0 Comments

Bobbi Brown chooses Upton as the newest face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, replacing Katie Holmes as their celebrity spokesperson.

Besides being strong and confident, she is really smart. She knows exactly who she is and who her brand is. She told me she called her mom and her sister right away when she found out about [becoming the face of the brand]. She was so excited about doing it! That’s what I love about Kate: She’s a real girl.

Upton appears1378222958_kate-upton-vanity-fair-467 on the cover of the October 2013 issue of Vanity Fair. She talks about how she didn’t always have positive remarks on her appearance.

I’m not going to name names, but one agency told me, “You’re too American, and everybody knows American women are lazy.” I was so offended! I’ve never been so offended! I was like, “You know that you’re in America, right?” And it wasn’t “American models”—it was “American women are lazy,” period! I feel like a lot of women would disagree with that. A lot!

I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great. It’s kind of funny to think, ‘Oh, wow, the news is talking about whether I’m fat or not.’
