Career
Upton attended a casting call in Miami for Elite Model Management in 2008 and was signed by them the same day. She eventually moved to New York City, where she then signed with IMG Models.
Upton first modeled for Garage, then Dooney & Bourke. She is the 2010–11 face of Guess. In 2011, Upton appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She was featured in the body paint section and named Rookie of the Year for the issue. She has since modeled for Beach Bunny Swimwear and Victoria's Secret, and has appeared in Complex and Esquire as "The Woman of the Summer".
In April 2011 an internet video of her doing the "Dougie" at a Los Angeles Clippers game went viral and served to increase her popularity. On April 30, 2012, a bikini-clad Upton performing the "Cat Daddy" in a video directed by Terry Richardson also went viral, amassing almost 750,000 views in the 24 hours before it was temporarily removed from YouTube for violating the site's rules on sexual content.
