Kate Upton wowed on the red carpet recently for the premiere of her film “The Other Woman”, drawing comparisons to Marilyn Monroe in a white strapless Christian Siriano gown and nude heels.

The Sports Illustrated model has earned good reviews for her foray into film; the movie also stars Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz, and the women bonded on set as they do in the movie.

“I was on set with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann and they were the most inspirational and amazing women I had the honor to work with,” Upton said. “They were really helpful in my experience with the movie, and I really appreciated all of their advice and all of their encouragement throughout the movie set.”

The film focuses on a love triangle between married Mann and Diaz, who discover the man they both love isn’t who they thought. When they find out he’s also cheating with Upton’s character, the stakes get higher and all three women conspire to bring him down, bonding with one another in the process.

Upton’s mother, Shelley, raved about her daughter’s success recently, saying how proud she is of how well Upton is handling the pressure that comes with fame.

“She really is just so enthusiastic about everything. And when she’s excited about something, she gives it her best,” said Upton. “I just am so proud about how she has handled all the pressure that goes along with all the successes that are amazing as well. She seems to take it in stride and doesn’t seem to be inhibited at all.”
