Olivia Culpo Reveals Extensive Fashion Archive and Keepsakes Stored for Daughter Colette McCaffrey
Model and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo has shared an intimate look at the treasures she is preserving for her five-month-old daughter Colette Annalise McCaffrey. In a recent exclusive interview with People magazine, the thirty-three-year-old star revealed that she has already established a dedicated storage unit to house a massive collection of fashion history and personal mementos. Culpo welcomed her first child with her husband, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, on July 13, 2025. Since the birth, she has become meticulously focused on archiving the most significant pieces from her career and personal life. The model explained that she saves almost everything with the hope that her daughter will one day appreciate the sentimental value of these iconic items.
The most notable pieces in the storage unit include the legendary gowns Culpo wore during her successful 2012 pageant season. This collection features the vibrant pink and red velvet ensemble from Miss USA and the stunning dress she wore while being crowned Miss Universe in Las Vegas. Beyond her pageant wardrobe, Culpo is also holding on to the custom Dolce & Gabbana lace ballgown from her June 2024 wedding to McCaffrey in Rhode Island. She also preserved every other outfit worn during her multi-day wedding weekend to ensure the entire memory remains intact. Culpo stated that she wanted her wedding look to reflect the weight of her commitment and believes it will be a powerful heirloom for Colette to explore in the future.
The archiving process extends to the daily life of her infant daughter as well. Culpo admitted that she finds herself pulling out storage bins almost every week to pack away Colette’s newborn clothing because the baby is growing so rapidly. This desire to preserve clothing stems from a personal experience with her own mother who purged many of Culpo’s childhood clothes years ago. The actress expressed a sense of loss regarding her own Y2K-era staples and wants to ensure her daughter never feels that way about her own history. She believes that these garments are truly moments in time that can transport a person back to specific memories.
While Culpo is excited to pass down her legendary fashion archive, she is also open to the possibility that Colette may take a different path. She joked during the interview that she secretly hopes her daughter becomes an athlete to honor the athletic lineage of the McCaffrey family. Despite this hope, the model is committed to keeping the high-fashion options available should Colette develop a passion for the industry. The family of three recently celebrated their first Christmas together after a year of major milestones including Colette’s first 49ers game and her first visit to Disneyland. As the new year approaches, the couple remains focused on balancing their high-profile careers with the joys of first-time parenthood.
