Olivia Culpo was photographed by her boyfriend Christian McCaffrey and interviewed by Rujuta Vaidya for Vogue India July 2020. In the interview, she talks about the source of her confidence, her average day during the lockdown, More Than A Mask initiative, fashion weeks, personal style, and evolving as a couple with Christian.

Among the personalities, you have encountered in your career, whose work inspires you the most?
I am inspired by so many people in different ways. It’s so hard to narrow down. I think someone I have always absolutely loved following is Yara Shahidi. She is so beautiful in every sense of the world and when I met her in person she was just as lovely as you would think. I also think she is an incredible role model for the younger generation which means more to me now more than ever.

How have you and Christian evolved as a couple in this time?
Quarantine has really strengthened our relationship, and we have gotten so much closer. Spending this time with his family has made me so close with them as well, they’ve become so important to me.

Have you and Christian worked on a shoot collaboratively before? What is the difference between being behind the lens of a loved one versus a professional?
We have never done anything like this before! I had him help me shoot some of my More Than A Mask photos a month or so back, but besides that (or the occasional iPhone instant photo) he has never done anything remotely professional! This was so fun for us and he really does have a great eye. I was really proud.

Describe your average day during the lockdown? Where are you currently? Who are you quarantining with?
Every morning I start the day with berries and coffee. Then I usually make an egg white omelet and start working on emails. During the day, I try to get a workout of some kind and cook something new. I feel like my number one hobby over quarantine was learning new recipes to cook for my “quarantine crew”. I spent almost 100 days with my boyfriend’s family in Colorado along with my little sister, Sophia. He has a really big family like me so our group ended up being pretty big! We had about nine people in total. The more the merrier!
