Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey found each other again during a church ceremony, and their wedding dress stands out beyond measure.

In the picturesque chapel of Rhode Island, Olivia Culpo, 32, and Christian McCaffrey, 28, exchanged their marriage vows for eternity at an official wedding ceremony over the weekend. After a civil ceremony a few days ago, the couple now performed the festive part in front of friends and family on a larger scale. Getting married in a church would be her “top priority,” as the former Miss Universe revealed to “Vogue,” the magazine that covered the wedding. The photos taken provide a unique insight into her dress and the high level of tailoring that is worth looking at in detail.

Olivia Culpo: In this dream in white she said “yes”

In front of an imposing, darkly ornate banister that sits on a fine marble floor, Olivia Culpo directs her confident and focused gaze into the camera. The model almost disappears in the voluminous white fabric of her robe, which nevertheless skilfully accentuates her silhouette. The top is simple and long-sleeved, without lace, while the voluminous A-line skirt with train gives her an incomparable grace. A white tulle veil, like a protective cape, wraps delicately around her face and ends with floral lace at the hem.

Culpo tells Vogue about her collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana for this extraordinary dress: “I wanted something that felt as serious as this commitment.” She worked with the renowned fashion house for months on this crepe masterpiece that was to accompany the special moment of her life. “I didn’t want it to radiate sex in any way,” she explains. The simple yet voluminous concept of beauty and simplicity has proven itself and makes Culpo look even more radiant.

Opinions are divided online

There are mixed reactions among the comments on Olivia Culpo’s wedding post. Many followers are surprised by her decision to wear such a covering dress for a summer wedding. “It overwhelmed her,” one user notes in reference to the lavish design. Another expresses disappointment at the simplicity: “It’s terribly boring.” Nevertheless, there are also praiseworthy voices who appreciate the timeless elegance of the dress: “So many wedding dresses today look like lingerie. Such a stylish choice,” raves one user. “Absolutely stunning,” adds another. Ultimately, it is up to Olivia Culpo herself to feel comfortable on her big day – and she did everything right.
