“What a nasty post”

Christian McCaffrey fires back at an online fashion influencer who criticized his new bride Olivia Culpo for her choice of wedding dress.

“What an evil thing to post online. I hope you can find joy and peace in the world like my beautiful wife,” the NFL star said in the comments on an Instagram video posted on July 2 by Kennedy Bingham, who talks about fashion on social media under the moniker Gown Eyed Girl.

In her video, which she also posted on TikTok, Bingham said her problem was not the “simple, elegant” design of Culpo’s long-sleeve Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress, although she noted that it had “no personality.”

What left a “bitter aftertaste,” said Bingham, were comments Culpo had recently made to Vogue: she did not want (the dress) to “exude sex in any way, shape or form.”

The former Miss Universe also told Vogue that she wanted to get married in a dress that was “as serious” as the commitment that marriage entails.

While there is nothing wrong with someone wanting “a modest wedding dress,” Bingham said, Culpo’s comments about her dress went “beyond just wanting something modest for herself and expressed this idea of ​​what she thinks all Brides should look.”

“You can get married in your underwear and take your wedding vows very seriously,” Bingham said. “What you wear on your wedding day has almost nothing to do with whether or not you will have a long and happy marriage.”

Bingham also noted that Culpo told Vogue that her new groom believes she is “most beautiful” when she wears clothes that are “timeless, covered and elegant.”

Bingham said, “I also find it odd how much she talks about covering up, especially as someone who doesn’t dress particularly modestly in everyday life.”

Bingham went on to say that Culpo was pursuing a “conservative agenda” with her wedding dress and that her wedding seemed like a “conservative campaign.”

“You took this disingenuous ‘put me on the map’ approach that honestly felt more like you were reflecting on your history than your actual marriage,” the influencer said.

Bingham titled her video, “From Miss Universe to Miss Pick Me, Olivia Culpo earns her crown.”

While some commenters thanked Bingham for her insights, others sharply criticized the influencer for posting an “unnecessary and rude” review.

“Why is it okay to pick apart her words, take them personally, and call her ‘take me’? If she’s a model and Miss Universe, maybe she means business. It didn’t sound like she was judging other women at all,” wrote one Instagram user.

“Personally, I think that dress, cut, and everything about her look was STUNNING! There’s no need to overanalyze or put someone down just because you disagree,” another person added.
