Olivia Culpo Addresses Criticism of Wedding Dress Choice
Following Olivia and Christian’s wedding on June 29, there was some backlash online regarding Olivia’s choice of a conservative wedding dress. In an interview with Vogue, she explained that she wanted a dress that reflected the seriousness of marriage.
Some people felt that Olivia’s words carried a patriarchal message. Influencer Kennedy Bingham complimented Olivia’s appearance on her wedding day but criticized her choice of dress and the message it seemed to convey.
In a social media post, Kennedy pointed out that women can be sexualized regardless of what they wear, questioning the idea of portraying Olivia’s dress as devoid of any sexuality.
Christian, 28, defended his wife against the criticism, calling the online post “evil” and wishing the commenter joy and peace like Olivia finds in the world.
Despite the controversy, Christian and Olivia’s wedding celebrations were lavish. Read on to discover how the bride’s vision came to life in every detail.
