Before she was famous: School pictures reveal bikini babe Kate Upton who classmates say was 'a nerdy-looking girl who struggled to get a date'

With her blonde locks, never-ending legs and womanly curves, Kate Upton became a household name overnight, and this year landed the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition.

But new images show the 20-year-old wasn’t always so open about showing off her body.

In photos taken from the model’s high school yearbook, her celebrated body is covered with a button down shirt

And today her high school friends, who knew her just three short years ago as their fellow classmate, tell how Kate’s success seems to have blossomed overnight—shocking them all.

For they remember a flat-chested teenager who was ‘nerdy looking’.

Speaking candidly, a fellow classmate of Kate’s from Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne, Florida remembers the supermodel as a B average student who was the opposite of the ‘it’ girl at school.

Wearing a white oxford shirt paired with a khaki kilt as her school uniform, Kate was required to go to church services everyday and her favorite pastime was riding horses.

But while nearly every man on this planet would love to date her today, Kate surprisingly didn’t have any dates as a schoolgirl.

Kate was the bridge between the popular crowd and the losers,' tells Kate’s high school classmate.

'She wasn’t really outgoing and she definitely wasn’t the prettiest girl in school.

'She was very slim, flat chested and sort of nerdy looking—I’m not sure she ever had a boyfriend in school.'

But three years on, you can bet every guy from her high school class is kicking themselves for not jumping at the opportunity to date the world’s hottest supermodel.

'I remember Kate being in and out of class a lot, traveling and trying to make it as a model,' tells her classmate.

She was never overly confident or annoying about it, but one day she just left school and never came back.

'It was almost like she blossomed overnight and grew into this beautiful woman, never to be heard from again.

'Now, talking to all the guys from our class, we’re all regretful that we never asked her out.'

Kate's stardom has seen her land on the cover of several big name magazines, most recently men's quarterly, GQ.

During the shoot Kate recently revealed that she endured a slight mishap.

The model explained what happened in her interview, saying: 'For the GQ photo shoot, we were on the ride where the seat spins while the actual ride is spinning, and I'm wearing a one-piece.'

All of a sudden the whole entire top falls off! I'm holding myself, laughing, turning bright red, but a lot of people are watching, so they kicked us out of the Santa Monica Pier - it was so embarrassing.'

Rumor: Kate Upton Will Cover the First Issue of Carine Roitfeld’s New Mag, CR Fashion Book

We got a peek at a preview for Carine Roifteld’s hotly anticipated new mag CR Fashion Book last week–a teaser featuring models in cropped wigs slinking around on mirrored floors that will run in V this Thursday. But we just heard a little bit of gossip about the first full issue, due out in September: Model of the moment Kate Upton will be on the cover.

We hear from a reliable source close to the mag that Roitfeld, who cast Upton to walk in her all-black fashion show for amFAR in Cannes, has shot Kate Upton for the cover. According to our source, Kate Upton is “Carine’s new Lara Stone.” They both have a similar look: ’70s blond bombshell–ample assets. Of course, Upton will have been shot for the cover and the cover spread by a non-Conde Nast contracted photographer (we hear that the war between Conde Nast and Roitfeld is heating up and that all Conde contributors–stylists included–are being forbidden from working with CR Fashion Book).

Well, this ought to seal Upton’s fate as a model with a high fashion career.

If this turns out to be true it's HUGE for Kate. When someone as influential as the (ex) Editor in Chief of French Vogue likes you and wants to put you on their very first book cover it'll do wonders for your career if you let it.

The amount of QQ at the tfs is going to be all kinds of bad if this happens.

Hope the rumors are true, it would be amazing if the industry started supporting Kate more & hopefully more girls like her too, hope the cover leaks soon enough
