Thank you so much @maximmag for the opportunity and to all of the people who worked on this with me.”

Career path

Since winning Miss Universe in 2012, Olivia Culpo has built a multifaceted career spanning fashion, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and social media.

Recently she shot with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in Australia and designed a women’s collection with the retail brand Express. But her love of makeup and glamour was not much valued as her family was more of musicians. She recalls,

“They always hated the idea of modeling or beauty. Any time I would want to get dressed up or be girly, my mom would be like, ‘Ugh, why?’. To them it was a little scary because they felt like it might be a little vain."

Culpo also recalls where she slowly won over her family when it came to fashion,

"They didn’t even want to come the day that I won Miss Rhode Island. My dad was listening to the baseball game the whole time. Then when I won, they were like, ‘Okay, well I guess this is kind of cool.’ 

Then later I won Miss USA, and then six months after that, I won Miss Universe. Then they were like, ‘Okay, this is kind of cool.’”
