Kate Upton has come a long way since bursting out on to the modeling scene, and she’s now landed herself a promising new gig. The model turned actress has signed on to be the face of Express.
Upton, who will soon appear on the big screen alongside Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz and Nicki Minaj in The Other Woman, is the first to be named the face of the clothing retailer in almost 10 years.
The company took to Twitter to make the official announcement that the 21-year-old Sports Illustrated model is the new face of their brand.
“Attention: @KateUpton is our brand spokeswoman! She'll host #EXPRunway show in Miami tomorrow,” they wrote on Wednesday.
