Kate Upton scores first Vogue UK cover for January 2013

Kate Upton has scored a major first... her first Vogue UK cover. The January 2013 features the leggy supermodel in winter whites sporting her signature sultry pout. This is definitely a first on many levels for Vogue UK. I think Alexandra Shulman said it best: "When I decided to shoot Kate for our first cover of 2013, it was to kick off the year with a young women who is not a stereotypical fashion model - although, let's face it, she's hardly a heffalump!" How very true, "hardly a heffalump" and definitely a new beginning to what we hope will be a year of change for the industry. Bring on the curves! {Vogue UK}

Kate Upton grabs another Vogue cover, this time in Brazil!

For the naysayers claiming Kate Upton is a passing fade, let us submit the following as evidence. Kate Upton is seen above on her third cover of Vogue. Previously, Upton has covered British Vogue and most recently American Vogue, now she's onto Vogue Brazil. Passing fade, you say? Upton is here to stay. Lest we all forget, even Anna Wintour has this girl's back in the industry. In writing her editor's letter for Kate Upton's American Vogue cover, Wintour proclaimed, "If the high fashion world seems incapable of figuring out what to do with this girl than that's its loss.
