Kate Upton Stuns Without Makeup, Rocks Messy Hair and Geeky Glasses

Young model looks casually chic in an oversize sweater as she arrives at JFK airport

Kate Upton: A flawless high-fashion model or your average girl next door?  

After the latest pics snapped of the 20-year-old stunner, we'd say the gorgeous gal is a little bit of both after she was photographed arriving at JFK airport without makeup and rocking a down-to-earth ensemble that's a far cry from her often-skimpy work wear.

The Sports Illustrated cover girl looked travel chic in an oversize sweater, jeans and a blue alligator-skin bag. She added geeky glasses to her makeup-free mug and wore her bright blond hair in a bedhead style. 

The swimsuit model is famous for her enviable figure, so it's a rare sight to see the sultry star covering up her money-making assets (the outfit certainly wouldn't do her dance moves justice). But we think it's refreshing to see the young star so comfortable in her own skin.

Whether she's rocking her killer curves or flashing a no-makeup grin, Kate isn't afraid to prove she's a confident gal. 

And secretly, we all know Upton's attitude is really her best asset.
