Model Kate Upton, 20, returns to the Victoria's Secret catalog more than a year after Sophia Neophitou, who handles casting for the brand's sexy lingerie show, blasted the young model, saying she'd never cut it on the runway.

Not only is she gorgeous, but blond bombshell Kate Upton apparently doesn’t hold grudges.
The beauty-next-door nabbed the back cover of a recent Victoria’s Secret catalog, more than a year after a casting director for the lingerie brand’s famous fashion show branded the model as “too obvious” to hit the catwalk.
“She’s like a Page 3 girl,” Sophia Neophitou, who selects models for the annual show, told the New York Times of Upton last February.
“She’s like a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.”
The 20-year-old model — all curves in a black Body by Victoria bra — has apparently forgiven the brand for the cruel comments.
Upton, who fast-tracked to fame after landing the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue in 2012, also shot ads for Victoria’s Secret’s catalog in 2011.
While the high-fashion crowd was slow to embrace the Michigan-born model, Upton recently scored her first Vogue cover.
