Kate Upton married Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander way back in November in an intimate ceremony set in a lavish Italian castle, but she only just finally shared photos from her special day. Needless to say, they were well worth the wait.

Like many modern brides, the 25-year-old Sports Illustrated supermodel wore two wedding gowns: a more traditional, demure, and cake-like version for the ceremony, and a super-sexy, sparkly one for the party afterwards.

Here she is channeling Grace Kelly in her custom-made Valentino gown.

And here she is looking absolutely 🔥 🔥🔥 in a sheer Christy Rilling "naked dress" that really showed off her phenomenal figure.

"I wanted a dress that I could have fun in, but that still brought the glamour," she told Vogue of the breathtaking gown.
