Her mother, Shelley Fawn (Davis), was a state tennis champion, and her father, Jefferson Matthew Upton, served as a high school athletics director. Her uncle is Michigan congressman Fred Upton. Upton demonstrated an early interest in modeling, which led to her signing with IMG Models in 2010. Before her modeling career took off, Upton was a successful equestrian, competing at a national level with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). With her horse, Roanie, she secured three APHA Reserve World Championships in categories such as 13 and Under Western Riding, 13 and Under Horsemanship, and 14–18 Western Riding. She was also named the 13 and Under Reserve All-Around Champion, accumulating a total of four reserve championships.
Upton’s career gained significant traction with her first appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2011, where she was named Rookie of the Year. This was followed by cover appearances in 2012, 2013, and 2017.

Beyond Sports Illustrated, Upton has been featured on the covers of Vogue Italia, British Vogue, CR Fashion Book, Cosmopolitan, French ELLE, GQ, and Esquire.
