We give Kate Upton a lot of credit. The swimsuit edition cover model is known for her super sexy curves, and yet more often than not she hides them tastefully behind a style forward frock.

We're not going to name names, but some models of her same stature take the full flaunting fashion approach to red carpet dressing. In true Marilyn Monroe 2.0 form, this beauty is out to prove that there's more to her than meets the eye.

The original blonde bombshell would be proud to see The Other Woman star in this vintage-style Christian Siriano strapless. It hugs every inch of Kate's body without showcasing much cleavage or leg. Here, all the focus is on that gorgeous neck.

Once again, Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann's co-star picks one body feature to flaunt. This time it's her perfect pins in black mini shorts. The itty-bitty bottoms are balanced tastefully with a high-necked top and roomy J Brand ‘Hart' white collarless blazer.

We are thrilled to see a celeb rocking leather in a classy way. The fabric on this frock does all the style work leaving Kate to accessorize with simple pumps and loose hair. See how it showcases her curves without showing off her skin? That's fashion maturity at its finest.

Now in fairness, the American export was visiting Aussie friends to celebrate a horse racing event, so sophisticated style was practically required. That said, this two piece suit still makes it clear that the cover girl has a body that could inspire gym membership sales, even though most of it is tucked away underneath a lady-like cream combo.

Now this is what we call a powersuit. Sure Kate kills it because of her incredible features, but everyone from Hillary Clinton to the Queen of England to your suburban auntie could wear this look.

As far as we're concerned, that makes this international supermodel an every woman, which might be a more impressive feat than any of her Sports Illustrated cover shoots.
