Kate Upton became the It Girl of modeling after landing the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2012, but she too was a bit awkward as a teen.
Okay, maybe not. But a Polaroid picture of the then-aspiring model in June 2010 shows a drastically different Kate than we’re used to these days …
In honor of Fashion Week ’13, Polaroid photos of supermodels (taken by casting director Douglas Perrett) before they were quite so super are surfacing.
In her case … it’s not like the Kate Upton photos you’re thinking of.
Kate, 21, was just 18 when hers were taken. Previously, the beauty had attended a Miami casting call for models that would ultimately change her life.
Thank you, casting agents. Thank you.
