Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey have taken a firm stand against negativity directed at her wedding dress after a TikTok influencer criticized her “no personality” Dolce & Gabbana gown. The couple, recently married, didn’t hold back in defending Culpo’s choice of attire.
Christian McCaffrey, the San Francisco 49ers star, was quick to respond to influencer Kennedy Bingham, also known as @gowneyedgirl, who posted a video criticizing Culpo’s wedding dress. In the video, Bingham described the dress as having the “absence of personality” and called it “nothing.” McCaffrey labeled Bingham’s comments as “evil” in his reply, expressing his disappointment and defending his wife’s choice.
“What an evil thing to post online. I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does,” McCaffrey wrote under Bingham’s Instagram Reel.
Olivia Culpo echoed her husband’s sentiments, calling Bingham a “bizarre human” and condemning the influencer’s video as “extremely hurtful.” Culpo took to the comments section to voice her displeasure, defending her decision to wear the traditional wedding gown.
In her June 29 wedding to McCaffrey, Culpo wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown featuring a crepe crew neck, long sleeves, and a button-lined back, which she described as modest. She paired the dress with a 16-foot lace veil, creating a timeless look for her special day.

Bingham’s video, posted on both Instagram and TikTok, harshly criticized Culpo’s “modest” description of her gown, suggesting that it lacked personality. Bingham captioned her post: “From Miss Universe to Miss Pick Me, Olivia Culpo is earning her crown.” This sparked a series of responses from both Culpo and McCaffrey.
Culpo defended her gown choice, stating, “Wow, what an absolutely evil person you are. I hope no one ever tears you apart in this way because it’s extremely hurtful. I love this dress and it was everything I ever wanted and more.” Despite acknowledging that Culpo looked stunning, Bingham maintained her criticism, focusing on the “absence of personality” in the dress.
The exchange intensified when Culpo addressed accusations from Bingham about lying regarding beauty enhancements. Culpo clarified, “Also, no I do not have eyebrow lamination or lash extensions. I’m sorry that infuriates you.”
Bingham responded by criticizing Culpo’s choice to work with Dolce & Gabbana, a brand with a controversial history. She argued that collaborating with the designer implies a certain mindset. Culpo retorted, questioning if wearing Dolce & Gabbana made her racist or homophobic.
The back-and-forth continued, with Bingham insisting that Culpo’s words perpetuated harmful standards. Bingham found it odd that Culpo emphasized modesty and coverage, especially given her usual fashion choices.
Bingham’s video also suggested that Culpo’s wedding was more of a conservative campaign than a celebration. Despite the criticism, many fans and social media users came to Culpo’s defense, praising her gown and McCaffrey’s protective stance.
Culpo and McCaffrey exchanged vows in a chapel in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, before celebrating with family and friends at the Ocean House. For the reception, Culpo switched to an ethereal sweetheart-cut gown and later donned a bodysuit with a sheer mini cage skirt, showcasing her versatile style.
This incident highlights the couple’s unity and their willingness to stand against online negativity, reinforcing their bond and love for each other.
