On Monday, Sports Illustrated swimsuit models appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. Two days later, the models and other SI swimsuit girls were seen hitting the red carpet at Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas to continue promoting the magazine’s 2013 swimsuit issue.

As they did for their guesting on David Letterman’s show, these hot girls — Kate Upton, Ariel Meredith, Alyssa Miller, Anne V, Adaora, Emily Didonato, Genevieve Morton, Katherine Webb, Natasha Barnard, and Chrissy Teigen — again showed off their curves in skimpy dresses. Who do you think wore the best dress?

1. Kate Upton Stuns in a Dior Halter Dress with Stripes and Cross-Back Detail

Kate Upton wore a sexy Dior dress that I think flaunted her figure. The halter dress features horizontal stripes, a cross back, and a cutout detail. Black Christian Louboutin pumps, dangling earrings, and a classic Hollywood updo completed her look.

2. Genevieve Morton Turns Heads in a Black Mini Dress With Cutouts

It looked like Genevieve Morton ensured that all eyes were on her because she chose a black dress that featured side cutouts, a revealing bodice that showed off her cleavage, and a mini flowy skirt.

3. Natasha Barnard Sizzles in a Curve-Hugging Blue Satin Dress

Natasha Barnard opted for blue and sexy. Her satin dress seemed too tight on her body, but it revealed her curves more. Check out her front and rear! Her wavy locks also added to her sizzling hot look.

4. Chrissy Teigen Exudes Sophistication in a Stella McCartney Mesh Peplum Dress

Chrissy Teigen donned black and mesh again, but this time, she wore a Stella McCartney mesh and peplum dress. This is certainly one of my personal favorites. She looked sleek and so elegant despite the revealing back and see-through parts.

5. Anne V Dares in a Plunging Dress with a Chic Pleated Mini Skirt

It looked like Anne V wore the most daring dress. Check out the plunging neckline that reaches her belly. The pleated miniskirt of her dress seems perforated, too, and it comes with embellishments for added style.

6. Katherine Webb Keeps It Sleek and Simple in a Bandage Mini Dress

Katherine Webb donned the most straightforward dress. It’s a plain bandage mini dress highlighting her body’s shape. It also seems to have a cutout at the back, but we cannot see it entirely from the available photos.

7. Emily Didonato Radiates Youthful Charm in a Playful Sleeveless Dress

Sweet and simple, 21-year-old Emily Didonato looked even younger and playful in her dress. It’s a sleeveless one that features pleats and mesh on the bodice. Don’t you think it’s a little casual for the red carpet?

8. Adaora Stuns in a Black Mesh Dress with Three-Quarter Sleeves and Open Back

Another SI model in black was Adaora. And similar to the other black dresses, hers also teases with mesh. Her three-fourth-sleeved dress has a low V neck in mesh, an open back, and a miniskirt. Sexy, huh?

9. Alyssa Miller Stands Out in a Modern Knee-Length Dress With Patent Detailing

Alyssa Miller chose to look edgier and more contemporary than her fellow models. The patent detail at the bodice and waist of this knee-length sleeveless dress makes it unique and modern.

10. Ariel Meredith Embraces Retro Vibes in a Blue and Black Mesh Dress

Unlike Alyssa’s modern look, Ariel Meredith chose to go retro in this blue/black dress that also seems to have a mesh detail. Her heels added some sparkle to her outfit!
