Her blonde locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly cascaded down past her shoulders in elegant curls. 

Kate accessorized her ensemble with a flashy, gold necklace as well as dangly earrings and a few rings on each of her hands.

While talking to People in April, the star opened up how her personal style has evolved - especially after welcoming daughter Genevieve, five, with Verlander.

And during a recent interview with InStyle in May, Upton revealed that her daughter also helps put together outfits for the supermodel. 

'Oh, she always helps me pick out outfits. Whenever I have a fitting, she gives her opinion,' the beauty said.
