Kate Upton may be the swimsuit model of the moment, but based off of what the Victoria's Secret's casting director for its annual runway show has said, she won't be getting her wings anytime soon.

"'We would never use' Ms. Upton for a Victoria's Secret show," Sophia Neophitou told The New York Times last week in an article posted on Monday, adding that the choice would be "too obvious."

While Upton's admirers and fans may beg to differ (the 19-year-old has modeled for the lingerie retailer before), Neophitou details why the 5-foot-10 beauty wouldn't be able to hang with Victoria's Secret Angels Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel during the nationally televised event.
"She's like a Page 3 girl," Neophitou continued, referencing the spread of scantily clad women that runs in the British newspaper The Sun. "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."

She has a point.
Giselle Bundchen is a football player wife, but she makes her own money, she does not depend on her husband financially. In general these women look like this: dyed blonde hair, fake tan, fake boobs and fake personality. kate Upton looks like them physically, but that doesn't mean she is like them. I'm not a fan of her beauty, but I wish her the best.
Karen Mulder? Are you kidding me? Mulder was gorgeous! This girl is beautiful, but don't exagerate. When Neophitou says :"football players wives", she means those trophy wives who don't work and spend their husbands money.
Not that I`m a big fan of this girl but look at the VS angels. Which one of them is so stunning or outstanding? Is this woman kidding? I think both VS and SI Swimsuit issue are getting worse by every year. The covers and the VS angels are just OK at best.
Meow to you too, Ms. Neophitou...
Her hair and dress looks better waving in front of Dave's than in that awful swimsuit and stringy hair. What's up with her boobs? They're flattened out to the side. Lift and seperate honey!
OK- just how much money do I need to go out and buy that?
@suzanne, i agree very rude, she looks much better than Mrs. Tom Brady..ughhhh
So rude!!! I'd take seeing Kate in VS then most of their boney models. AND Gisele is a football players wife. Just sayin!!! Ignorant. I wouldn't model for VS again if I was Kate.
well of course kate isn't fit for VS. she's not anorexic!!!! the VS girls are gorgeous no doubt but they are one step away from walking skeletons. i DO NOT WISH TO LOOK LIKE THEM. kate's body is perfection though.
wow that is mean. take it easy on the girl,think about how you would feel if somebody talked about your daughter that way.
Oh please no need to be so nasty...She is a beautiful girl,,,The VS woman sounds so jealous and catty.
ummm isn't giselle bunchden a footballer's wife??? just sayin'....
Jut another reason why the fashion industry SUCKS! There was no need to say something so rude. This poor girl is only 19yrs old. I hope she brushes this off and doesn't let it mess with her head.
Can someone refer me to the doctor takes money to make my face look like that? KTHX
Dear Sophia, I think a nice gewürztraminer would pair beautifully with the foot in your mouth. Love, Suki
But they will use Heidi Klum who is generic as they come!
