Black White Kate Upton Dress With Christi Brinlkley
Women of the hour... glass figures! Kate Upton is crowned Model of the Year by ultimate cover girl Christie Brinkley at Style Awards
Right here and now, there isn't a hotter property in the model world than Kate Upton.
The 21-year-old has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated for the past two years and in October, her Vanity Fair cover cemented her curves into the pantheon of immortal pin ups.
And on Wednesday, as the golden one was crowned Model of the Year at the 10th Style Awards in New York, she probably wondered when this dizzying ascent is going to end.

Blonde ambition: Big winner Kate Upton posed with her predecessor Christie Brinkley on the red carpet at the 10th annual Style Awards on Wednesday
After all, only the most optimistic of models could hope for a career that spans decades.
But it does happen, and if flaxen haired Kate needed a good example of how to do it, she couldn't do better than flaxen haired Christie Brinkley, 57.
The two women came together in an ostensibly merry pose on the red carpet at the Mercedes Benz fashion week event, though the space between them suggests that neither are particularly keen (or used) to sharing the limelight.

Michigan gals: Both blondes are from Midwest stock but grew up in Florida and California respectively
Bookends: The two blondes bear more than a passing resemblance to one another
Interestingly, both women were born in Michigan, but grew up in sunny states- Upton in Florida and Brinkley in California.
Kate, who like Christie moved to New York to further her career, showed off her unstoppable curves in a simple black dress that was low cut and floated across her knees; three quarter length sleeves completed the elegant look.
But the original Uptown Girl Christie Brinkley showed her city smarts in a stunning charcoal lace dress, that looked incredible on her perfect figure.

Also at the event was Dallas star Jesse Metcalfe, who made the stylish decision to tie in his burgundy brogues with the red theme of his girlfriend Cara Santana's lace dress.
The evening's presenter Nicole Richie took one of the riskiest stances of the night in an edgy two-piece that combined the autumn trends of velvet and embellishment.
