Newlyweds Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo SLAM ‘evil’ style influencer who criticized her wedding gown as ‘nothing’ and ‘absent of personality’

Christian McCaffrey has come to the defense of his wife, Olivia Culpo, after a style icon described her Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress as “nothing” and “no personality.”

The 28-year-old NFL star, who tied the knot with the former Miss Universe winner, 32, over the weekend in Rhode Island, hopped into the comments section of Kennedy Bingham’s Instagram video on Tuesday, where she shared her thoughts on the dress.

“What a horrible thing to post online,” the San Francisco 49ers running back wrote. “I hope you can find joy and peace in the world like my beautiful wife does.”

Bingham, however, responded to the athlete, typing: ‘@christianmccaffrey So the malicious thing is that she’s addressing the potential internalized misogyny behind her reasoning…’

‘Your (in my opinion) patriarchal comment, and the racist/homophobic/fatphobic history of the designers she worked with?’

In the comments section of the same reel uploaded to the influencer’s TikTok page, Olivia herself shared her thoughts and also responded to Kennedy’s criticism.

“Wow you are such an awful person. I hope no one ever tears you down like this because it is so hurtful. I love this dress and it was everything I ever wanted and more,” the model wrote.

Bingham uploaded a screenshot of Culpo’s response to her own Instagram stories, as well as her own reply.

“So we’re not going to acknowledge how your words come across to other people, or what the background is of the designers you support?”

Kennedy also wrote additional text about the image, adding: ‘Why do they keep using the word ‘evil’?’

“As if D&G calling IVF babies synthetic wasn’t bad enough for you, but now that I’m bringing up your wedding dress, is that even a line?” the influencer asked.

The media personality – who currently has nearly 100,000 followers – began the nearly six-minute clip by saying: “I’ve been a bridal designer for almost four years now and I’ve never said this before. But I don’t like this wedding dress.”

She explained that if she just looked at the dress, “I would see a beautiful bride in a beautiful, simple, elegant dress.”

Bingham added: ‘But it’s the fabric around the dress that leaves a bitter aftertaste.’

Kennedy then referred to Olivia’s recent interview with Fashion in which she talked about the wedding dress and explained that she “didn’t want to convey sex in any way.”

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting a modest wedding dress, or just modest clothing in general,” she continued, but added that Culpo “brought forward this idea of ​​what she thinks all brides should look like.”

‘…It’s really weird for me to consider this a sexless design, because it’s your choice if you don’t want to exude sex in this dress, but also because it’s not your fault if people want to sexualize you.’

“Her two statements side by side are an eloquent way of saying that you are asking for whatever you are wearing, and that is an extremely damaging way of thinking.”

Bingham then said she found it “weird” the way Culpo “talks about reporting, especially as someone who in her everyday life is not exactly modestly dressed.”

‘She even says her husband thinks she’s most beautiful when she’s timeless, covered and elegant. I just find the use of the word “covered” so gross, because in everyday life you’re not covered.’

“And why does he think you’re most beautiful when you’re covered up? That’s just such a strange thing,” Kennedy said.

She also called it “odd” that Culpo is pushing a “conservative agenda” and began to draw attention back to the wedding dress.

“There is no personality in this dress,” she added, “This is just nothing. It’s the absence of personality.”

Finally, Kennedy said, “It’s very clear that this was not a wedding. This was a conservative campaign, and it wasn’t even done right…”

While I’m talking to FashionOlivia spoke candidly about her wedding and her wedding dress, designed by Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana. ‘I had a very clear idea of ​​what I wanted for my ceremony dress.’

‘I have been working with Dolce & Gabbana for years, so it was very special to work with Stefano [Gabbana]Domenico [Dolce]and the exceptional design and studio team.’

The crepe ball gown had long sleeves, a wide skirt, a train and a row of buttons down the back to fasten the dress.

To complete the look, she wore a five-metre-long, sheer veil over her head, trimmed with embroidered lace.

“I didn’t want it to be sexed up in any way,” Culpo said of the dress. “I wanted it to feel effortless and like it was complementing me, not overwhelming me. There’s so much beauty and simplicity.”

“I have never felt more beautiful than I do in my ceremonial dress and under my veil. I really wanted the simplicity of all the pieces to work together perfectly.”

This past weekend, Olivia and Christian tied the knot in a chapel at the historic Ocean House Resort in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

Looking back at the ceremony that took place in front of their closest family and friends, the beauty said: ‘Even with so many people in the room, it felt like it was just Christian and I.’

For the reception, the star wore a strapless white mini dress with a sheer caged hoop skirt for a unique flair. It was paired with opera-length white gloves and closed white heels.
