Elle unearthed throwback photos of a 15-year-old Kate Upton. The images are incredible; Upton is still as beautiful but had, uh, yet to develop her assets.
The images were shot by fashion photographer Steven Burton in 2008, just after Upton had just signed with Elite Models.
In an interview with Elle UK, Upton said that she started off as a "normal catalogue model" and couldn't wait to become a woman. "Because I'm from Florida, it's all about being in bathing suits," she told the women's magazine. "It's a different view of beauty there. You are ugly if you don't have a curvy body. And I didn't have one, and then I got one and though, 'Yessss!'"
Clearly, Upton, now 22 years old, has grown up in the last few years.
