Kate Upton Dubbed Sexiest Woman By People Magazine (Slideshow)

The Isley Brothers once asked, “Who’s that lady? Who’s that lady? Sexy lady, who’s that lady?” Well, People Magazine’s answer to the question of who’s the sexiest lady this year – it’s Kate Upton.

At 22, Upton has graced the covers of magazines worldwide; most notably she’s known for the “exposure” she’s received as a Sports Illustrated cover model.

Thursday night in Beverly Hills, at the first ever People Magazine Awards show, Upton was awarded the title of “Sexiest Woman”.

Erik Dane was the lucky fella that was chosen to present Upton with her award on Thursday night.

Dane gushed over Upton during his presentation saying, “There are a lot of reasons why Kate is sexy. Style, career, achievements, sense of humor, personality – oh and did I mention her … looks?”

According to USA Today, Justin Verlander was not on hand to celebrate the win with his special lady. However, there were likely still plenty of people on hand to help her relish that special moment.
