The model has been unveiled as the new face of American brand Express.

Upton is still barely into her twenties, but her rise in the modeling world is proving mighty impressive. Now the Michigan-born starlet has signed up as the face of US fashion giant Express.

With her first gig lined up as the host of the brand’s spring fashion show in Miami Beach at the Raleigh hotel on Thursday, she will also appear in Express’s Fall-Winter 2014 advertising campaign.

The 21-year-old model is the current face of footwear label Sam Edelman. A burgeoning actress, she is also set to appear alongside actresses Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in the upcoming comedy “The Other Woman,” directed by Nick Cassavetes.
