UPTON INTERNATIONAL SUPERMODEL

Kate Upton has been selected as “Model of the Year” and will be honored tonight at the 10th annual Style Awards that begin New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion week.

Upton, 21, first burst on the national scene as she was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s 2012 and 2013 swimsuit issues – and has since become one of the most recognizable models in the world.  Upton grew up on the Space Coast in Melbourne – and she’s a former student at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy.

The 10th Annual Style Awards will be broadcast on CNN on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. In the meantime, you can see some of Upton’s most memorable covers below.
