Speculation had it she might become a VS Angel but apparently there’s no truth to it

The other day, Kate Upton fans unearthed a photo of the model in the new catalog from Victoria’s Secret. This, in turn, prompted speculation that she might become the next VS Angel but, as it turns out, the photo is an old one.

And Kate is furious at Victoria’s Secret because they used it without telling her beforehand, says a new report in Page Six.

The Daily Mail has the photo in question: it shows Kate modeling a black bra.

For those who don’t know, having a photo of Kate in a Victoria’s Secret catalog is surprising because, some time ago, they said she wasn’t good enough for them.

“Kate Upton is furious that Victoria’s Secret has used photos of her from 2011 in a new lingerie catalog after a booker at the brand was once quoted as saying, ‘We would never use Kate’,” Page Six writes.

“The pictures are from 2011. Kate’s not currently contracted to work with Victoria’s Secret, and they didn’t contact her before they used these images,” an insider explains for the same media outlet.

“She’s like a Page 3 girl,” VS casting director Sophia Neophitou said back in February last year when asked if there was any chance of seeing Kate on the runway during the annual VS show.

“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,” Neophitou added.

The fact that a Victoria’s Secret catalog is now running an older photo of Kate (she modeled for VS before, as the pic attached to this article can also confirm) can only mean one thing, voices online are saying: VS is trying to profit off the exposure the “page 3 girl” is now getting.

After all, she’s just been named the hottest model on Earth by Vogue.
