Olivia Culpo stuns in ‘timeless’ Dolce & Gabbana dress for Christian McCaffrey wedding

Hello, Mrs. McCaffrey!

Olivia Culpo said “I do” to San Francisco 49ers player Christian McCaffrey on Saturday in her home state of Rhode Island.

The former Miss Universe walked down the aisle wearing a sophisticated long-sleeved ballgown from Dolce & Gabbana that featured a crewneck cut and button-lined back. She styled it with a 16-foot lace veil.

While many fans on social media commented that they expected more glamour from the star, the “timeless” and “covered” dress was exactly what Culpo envisioned.

“I didn’t want it to exude sex in any way, shape, or form,” she told Vogue ahead of her nuptials. “I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it’s complimenting me, not overpowering me. There’s so much beauty and simplicity.”

She further explained, “When I think about Christian and what he loves and the moments that he thinks that I’m most beautiful, it’s absolutely in something like this: timeless, covered, and elegant.”

The 32-year-old model opted for minimal makeup and jewelry, letting her sparkling oval-cut engagement ring from Ring Concierge take center stage. She wore her brunette hair down.

McCaffrey, 28, looked dapper in a traditional black suit.

It’s no surprise the couple chose classic looks that complemented one another.

During past romantic getaways, the couple has embraced coordinating attire. In the weeks leading up to the nuptials, the pair posted plenty of pictures showing off their wedding-themed outfits — including a matching white set Culpo wore while traveling.

McCaffrey and Culpo also went with retro-inspired ensembles as they got their marriage license on Wednesday, with the NFL pro sporting a beige double-breasted suit while the beauty queen wore a white skirt set with a birdcage veil.

Unsurprisingly, Culpo rocked several looks for her big day.

Her reception dress was a flowing, sweetheart-cut gown that she described as “ethereal.” She added a rose to her chest and wore a scarf around her neck that elegantly draped to the ground behind her.

The beauty pageant titleholder went for something completely different for her afterparty, opting for a bustier-style bodysuit worn underneath a sheer skirt. The voluminous skirt was structured with white boning, allowing it to bubble around her. It was decorated with floral embellishments as well.

Her reception and after-party dresses were also custom Dolce & Gabbana.

Culpo — who made multiple lifestyle changes prior to her wedding day — and McCaffrey began dating in 2019 and got engaged in 2023.

The “Culpo Sisters” star is often spotted supporting her athletic beau at his football games, showing up in the stands wearing a variety of standout outfits, including custom coats and bustiers.

Congrats to the happy couple!
