Bride mode, activated.
Olivia Culpo wasted no time getting into the wedding spirit after her engagement to NFL star Christian McCaffrey earlier this month, dressing in a head-to-toe white ensemble as she attended Coachella 2023 over the weekend.
“It’s giving bride-cella,” she captioned an Instagram post showing off photos of the sexy lace outfit.
The 30-year-old model flashes two peace signs at the camera in the first pic as she sports a white lace bra top from Zimmermann ($425), adding a short white skirt from the same brand ($2,950), featuring strips of lace hanging down to form a train.
An oversized white bomber jacket hangs off her shoulders to protect against the desert chill, and Culpo wears a bold silver necklace with beaded detail and matching dangling earrings.
The Vide liquor founder tops the look off with a white fedora, wearing nude booties and clutching a Louis Vuitton backpack in subsequent photos.
“Olivia, you really outdid yourself,” a female voice narrates a video clip as a friend holds the train of Culpo’s skirt and sings “dun dun dun dun” to the tune of Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus.”
“You’re taking this bride-to-be thing a little too far,” the pal adds.
Her fiancé, for one, was into the outfit, with McCaffrey commenting, “Awoooooga” along with a heart-eye emoji and a face with its tongue out.
“she said I got engaged and wasted NO [clapping hands] TIME [clapping hands] livingggg for ur bridal era,” wrote podcast host and influencer Victoria Browne.
However, the one piece missing from her wedding-ready look was the massive engagement ring the 49ers player proposed with, perhaps so that the model wouldn’t lose the sparkler.
Along with her bridal look, the restaurant owner showed off a strapless Dundas x Revolve denim dress in the desert, also sharing a look back at some of her favorite Coachella fits in another Instagram post.
Culpo announced her happy news on Instagram April 7, sharing a photo of McCaffrey, 26, down on one knee that she captioned with a simple “4.2.23” surrounded by infinity symbol emojis.
The NFL star presented her with a stunning sparkler from Ring Concierge, with the huge oval diamond flanked by epaulette side stones.
“We worked with Christian to thoughtfully design a ring that encompassed Olivia’s trendsetting style while still remaining timeless,” the company’s founder and CEO, Nicole Wegman, told Pvnew Style after their engagement.
While Ring Concierge didn’t reveal the total carat weight of the piece, several jewelers weighed in on the gem, with Jessica Flinn-Allen — who did not design the ring — sharing with us that Culpo’s ring could be as large as 8 carats and worth around $600,000.
After her “bride-cella” outfit, we’re eagerly awaiting what’s up next in her engagement lookbook.
