Christian McCaffrey Slams "Evil" Influencer for Criticizing Olivia Culpo's Wedding Dress

Christian McCaffrey is calling a flag on this criticism.
The San Francisco 49ers player clapped back after a fashion influencer disapproved of the Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress Olivia Culpo wore to the couple's June 29 ceremony in Rhode Island.
After Kennedy Bingham criticized Culpo for saying she didn't want the gown to "exude sex" at her nuptials, McCaffrey came to his wife's defense.
"What an evil thing to post online," he commented under the critic's July 1 Instagram post. "I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does."
The stylist replied to McCaffrey in the comment section, calling his message "patriarchal" and asking why he thought it was evil for her to be "pointing out the potential internalized misogyny behind her reasoning."
In her video, Bingham had explained that the bridal dress was "beautiful, simple, elegant," but noted it was Culpo's explanation of the style that irked her.
"It’s all the stuff surrounding the dress that leaves kind of a bitter aftertaste," she said. "There is nothing wrong with wanting a modest wedding dress."
However, she took issue with Culpo "pushing this idea of what she thinks all brides should look like" by saying her skinless style showed more reverence for marriage.
"You could get married in your underwear and take your wedding vows very seriously," Bingham shared. "It has been documented that it does not matter what women wear—they will be sexualized if someone wants to sexualize them. So, to treat this as a sexless design is really odd to me."
As for Culpo, the former Miss Universe told Vogue she wanted her outfit to be "as serious as that commitment" to the NFL star.
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey set off on a private plane ahead of their wedding in June 2024.
"Let it begin," the beauty queen captioned the June 24 photos of their grand send-off.
Olivia, 32, and Christian, 28, celebrated their takeoff by locking lips on the jet, which was decked out in white rose petals.
Naturally, her dog Oliver joined her and the NFL quarterback on the flight ahead of their nuptials.
The couple—who have been dating since 2019—fueled up on chicken lettus wraps and ahi sushi bowls before the big weekend, with Olivia snapping a pic of the menu in front of her white 'fit, including an on-theme Hermes Birkin bag.
The former Miss Universe cooled off in a baby blue bikini by Montce Swim on June 25 as she prepared to kick off the festivities.
