You may have stumbled upon Olivia Culpo as a result of her oddly controversial wedding dress, but there is so much more to this fashion icon than what the latest viral TikTok will show you.

Olivia Culpo made her debut in the public eye when she won her first beauty pageant, Miss Rhode Island USA. She then went on to win Miss USA and Miss Universe in 2012. Culpo expanded her professional portfolio with a variety of modeling and acting roles, and most recently, she has focused on entrepreneurship. Her partnerships include a large number of fashion and beauty brands, as well as a number of female-focused philanthropic causes. She has also raised endometriosis awareness by sharing her personal story on social media.
She is now married to 49ers running back Christian McCaffery, and they tied the knot in Westerly, Rhode Island, on June 29, 2024. From their picturesque engagement to the details of their wedding, these newlyweds embodied the romance and excitement of the marriage commitment.
In a strange turn of events, however, their wedding became the center of much controversy. Culpo’s modest, yet beautiful, wedding dress was featured by Vogue and her personal social media accounts as a snapshot of the couple’s happy wedding day. However, social media influencers quickly criticized Culpo, not for her custom Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown, but rather for her thoughts on her decision to dress modestly at her nuptials.
In an interview with Vogue, Culpo explained that her decision to dress modestly at her ceremony was based on the covenant of marriage: “It’s a covenant. It’s the beginning of the rest of your life – and it’s the union and bond of two people forever.” She goes on to say that her dress was designed not to “exude sex in any way, shape, or form” out of respect for the church in which they held their wedding ceremony and her new husband.

Neutral Midi Dress
Her affinity for midi dresses in a range of neutral tones is one of our favorite components of her personal style. Due to her petite frame and short height, midi dresses elongate her body and give the illusion of height. If you are also on the shorter side, midi dresses are a great way to balance your proportions and stretch the possibilities of your wardrobe!
