Olivia Culpo talks pregnancy style ‘tips and tricks’ and bringing back her viral hospital bag for Baby No. 2
Olivia Culpo isn’t changing up her delivery routine the second time around.
The 34-year-old model is expecting baby No. 2 with husband Christian McCaffrey any day now — and yes, she’ll be bringing her over-the-top hospital bag when she gives birth.
“I don’t think I’ll change too much because I actually used everything I brought last time. Yes, this means I’ll be bringing back the flameless flickering candles!” Culpo told Page Six Style of her extensive packing list, which went viral during her first pregnancy last year.
“I’m such a creature of comfort, and I have to admit, I really did love having every single thing I packed for my last delivery.”
As for what she’ll wear, Culpo also has that under control. The 49ers WAG, who welcomed daughter Colette last July, recently teamed up with Bumpsuit on a collection of her favorite styles for pregnancy and postpartum, including a unitard, a long-sleeved catsuit and even a strapless gown.
“If you’ve been pregnant, you know that getting dressed and feeling like yourself can become harder and harder as you get closer to your due date. These are comfortable, easy and still make me feel pulled together,” she told us.
When it comes to maternity dressing, Culpo said she’s got “a few more tips and tricks this time around,” but has kept her style “pretty consistent” throughout both pregnancies.
“I’ve always loved embracing my bump rather than trying to hide it. I’m so proud of what my body can do, and I want that to come through in the way I dress,” she shared.
Culpo’s been flexing her design muscles in other ways, too, having launched her Picolette by Olivia Culpo baby collection at Target over the summer.
The adorable line includes essentials like blankets and toys as well as girly florals and plenty of football-covered items — a nod to McCaffrey’s NFL career, of course. There’s even merch designed after the family’s toy Goldendoodle, Oliver Sprinkles.
“Colette inspired the brand, and so many of the ideas come from what I actually want and need for my own children,” she told us, adding that juggling work and being a mom “can definitely be a lot, especially while pregnant and raising a toddler, but Picolette was born from my experience as a mom, so the two feel very connected.”
And now, as she becomes a mother of two, Culpo is excited to pass along her knowledge — and designs — to other new moms.
“Knowing that Picolette might be part of another family’s earliest memories with their baby makes the work feel incredibly personal and rewarding.”
