Christian McCaffrey loudly slammed a fashion influencer for criticizing his wife Olivia Culpo’s wedding dress. On July 2, 2024, an influencer named Kennedy Bingham shared her opinion about Culpo’s Dolce & Gabbana gown on her Instagram. 

Kennedy stated that the dress lacked personality and admitted she disliked it. Referencing Olivia’s comment about choosing a modest style to avoid exuding sexiness at the event, the influencer further argued,

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting a modest wedding dress… but she’s pushing the idea that all brides should do the same… What it seems like she really wanted was to be head-to-toe fully covered”. 

Bingham even claimed Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo’s wedding wasn’t a real wedding, calling it a conservative campaign instead. This prompted McCaffrey himself to enter the comments section of the Instagram video. 

The NFL star wrote in his wife’s defense,

“What an evil thing to post online! I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does”. 

Olivia Culpo Fires Back at Wedding Dress Critic

Following Christian’s comment on Kennedy’s post, Culpo also defended her choice of the gown. Her response read,

“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”. 

Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo tied the knot on June 29, 2024, at a bougie ceremony held in Rhode Island. Following the couple’s fiery comments, the influencer released a statement on July 3, 2024. In it, she stated she is moving past the controversy as she has her own wedding to plan soon. 

Fans Divided Over Kennedy Bingham’s Critique of The Wedding Dress

Kennedy Bingham’s criticism video has ignited mixed reactions from fans, with some supportive and others in disagreement. Some supportive comments on an Instagram post read,

Whereas, some comments of fans disagreement read,

“Wow— firstly STOP tearing other women down!!!! Secondly, it was her opinion for herself lol— she is allowed that! Thirdly, let her have her day! The only person reading too much into this is YOU!”.

This incident highlights the growing trend of online fashion critiques, blurring the lines between personal opinion and public judgment. Will the pressure to impress (or critique) on social media continue to intensify? Only time will tell.
