The Reason Olivia Culpo Chose a Wedding Dress That Wasn’t “Too Sexy”
Olivia Culpo had a specific vision in mind for her wedding dress.
Excited to legally unite with her partner of five years, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, Culpo shared with Vogue that she wanted a gown that reflected the seriousness of their commitment.
To bring her vision to life, the former Miss Universe collaborated with Dolce & Gabbana to create a unique design.
Culpo expressed her desire for a long-sleeve crepe ball gown that was elegant and sophisticated, without being overly provocative. She opted for a 16-foot lace veil and minimal makeup, wanting the dress to enhance her beauty without overshadowing her. She emphasized the importance of simplicity and elegance in her choice.
To fulfill their goal of getting married in a church, Culpo and McCaffrey focused on incorporating elements like long sleeves, a crew neck, and a drop waist in the gown to accentuate her figure. Culpo approved the brand’s initial sketch and was thrilled with the final result.
