Maxim shared Christian McCaffrey’s wife, Olivia Culpo’s black-and-white shoot on Instagram on January 3. Culpo reshared Maxim’s throwback to her iconic shoot on Instagram.

One picture showed Culpo topless from the side, covering herself with her arm and posing. Another showed her covering her body while wearing a lace skirt and open-toe heels. In the main thumbnail photo, she wore a white corset top and had her short hair styled in a messy, wavy bob.

Other photos in the post show Culpo in a sheer lace top, a long halter-style dress with a deep neckline and a white outfit with ruffled fabric and long sleeves.

“In black and white, Olivia Culpo captivated every frame of her Maxim cover shoot,” Maxim wrote in the caption.

The photos are from June 2019, when Culpo was named No. 1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list. At the time, she said the honor was a lifelong dream and felt very humbling. She also praised the women who held the title before her.

The shoot had an Old Hollywood feel. Culpo, who won Miss Universe in 2012, also mentioned in an interview with Maxim that she hopes other women feel inspired by her story.

“I hope that [my female followers] take inspiration from it,” she said. “That’s why I look to a lot of people on Instagram. I enjoy being able to see what they’re doing and how I can maybe do something similar. If they’re working out a lot, it’s like, ‘Oh, I wanna try that workout.’”

The spotlight on Culpo comes all over again a few months after she and her husband, Christian McCaffrey welcomed their daughter, Colette Annalise McCaffrey on July 13.

Culpo first gained fame in 2012 after winning the titles of Miss Rhode Island USA, Miss USA, and ultimately, Miss Universe in Las Vegas.

Olivia Culpo started 2026 by sharing emotional post about becoming mom in 2025

Christian McCaffrey’s wife posted a video montage on Instagram with moments from the past year. Along with the video, she wrote:

“2025: the year I became a mom 😭.”

She said motherhood changed her in ways she never expected, adding that her perspective, priorities and understanding of life all shifted.

She also said she feels very grateful. Culpo also sent love to her followers who may be experiencing a range of emotions as the year begins.

“If you’re ending this year happy, hurting, exhausted, hopeful, or still finding your way… I’m sending you love and the biggest hug,” she wrote.

She concluded the message by discussing growth and love, stating that the year had taught her that “love really does heal all things” before wishing everyone a happy new year.
