Olivia Culpo recently tied the knot with her longtime partner, Christian McCaffrey, in Watch Hill, R.I. With a focus on simplicity and elegance, Culpo collaborated with Dolce & Gabbana to create a unique wedding dress for the special occasion. The former Miss Universe aimed for a gown that symbolized the seriousness of her commitment to McCaffrey, opting for a long-sleeve crepe ball gown with a 16-foot lace veil. Eschewing traditional wedding attire, Culpo wanted a dress that would complement her without overpowering her. The couple's priority was to exchange vows in a church, leading Culpo to choose a design that elongated her torso and added to her natural beauty. By working closely with the Italian design house, Culpo was able to bring their vision to life, resulting in a stunning and understated bridal look.
