Kate Upton took the opportunity to add a little extra bling to her Met Gala ensemble in the form of a dazzling diamond engagement ring.

The model-slash-actress confirmed she is engaged to longtime boyfriend Justin Verlander.

"I'm really excited, he asked me right before season started so we've been keeping it on the down low for quite a while," the 23-year-old beauty told E! News.
