Brit + Co: What’s your fave Instagram #OOTD recipe?
Olivia Culpo: Choosing an Instagram look always starts with putting together an outfit that makes me feel confident. One easy way to make a look come together is to pair it with coordinating accessories, like a nice bag or a great pair of earrings. I like to choose one favorite accessory — like a bag — and match it with a belt and a pair of shoes.
B+C: What are some pieces that always photograph well?
OC: I always look for bold details like a pop of color, cutouts, or a beautiful silhouette. I also love a good jumpsuit. Adding a bag and sunglasses to the look ties the outfit together and can make the photo really stand out.
B+C: What’s your secret to taking a perfect picture of yourself?
OC: Always search for the best lighting and take a few different angles until you find the right combination for you.
B+C:So, how often do you check Instagram?
OC: I’m on Instagram daily, but I do think it’s important to stay off my phone and be present when I’m with friends and family.
B+C: Which Instagram accounts are a must-follow for you?
OC: I follow so many different accounts that I find inspiration from. Some people I’m loving right now are — Yara Shahidi, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham, and Mary Seng.
B+C: How do you feel about repeating an outfit in the Instagram world?
OC: I’m all for outfit repeating, but I think you should have fun with your style and figure out a way to wear the look differently. For example, I like to wear my Olivia x Le Tote maxi dress as a dress, bathing suit cover-up, or a duster with some jeans and a tank. Instagram is about expressing yourself — if you aren’t having fun and enjoying yourself, showing your style and mood, then try switching things up!
