Kate Upton Switches Back to High Fashion With CR Fashion Book Spread Featuring Brazilian Male Model

Kate Upton is back to posing for the editor that first put her in clothes.

The Carine Roitfeld-run magazine, CR Fashion Book, has started teasing their upcoming fourth issue by releasing pictures of Kate Upton looking very polished. The editorial has been shot by the man behind Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld.

The magazine had released a few pictures as of Tuesday, but there are a few clues to go by. It'll have a fairy tale theme, as the whole issue revolves around that world. The spread is titled Ferocious, and the text says, "Once upon a time, Beauty met Beastly and liked it." The Beastly in this instance is 22-year-old Brazilian male model Marlon Teixeira.

In the images she wears Tom Ford, Celine and Ralph Lauren. Plus she sports red lips in all the images. And of course, this 21-year-old beauty wears the very best jewels from Chanel Fine Jewelry.

It's hard to believe that Kate Upton was once only seen as a bikini model. In an interview with PageSix, she said, "[Carine Roitfeld] was the first editor who put me on the cover actually wearing clothing."

This came after even Victoria's Secret said it didn't want to work with the model because she was "too obvious."

But Roitfeld, who used to be the editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, didn't want a normal model and placed her on the cover of the first issue of her magazine, CR Fashion Book. The fashion industry has embraced the buxom model since, when she landed in the pages of American Vogue and as a model for Sam Edelman.

Upton isn't the first controversial person that Roitfeld has worked with. She also put a pregnant Kim Kardashian on the cover of the third issue of her magazine.

The magazine will be out Feb. 25.
