Pregnant Olivia Culpo Shares Surprising Change In Her Beauty Routine

Pregnant Olivia Culpo Shares Surprising Change In Her Beauty Routine

From La Mer The Lifting Eye Serum, to Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser and more, Olivia Culpo has been known to stash a few high-end buys in her beauty cabinet.
And who can blame her? The former pageant girl—who announced her pregnancy with husband Christian McCaffrey last month—had to maintain a steady skincare regimen in between full-face makeup routines for work.
'When I was modeling and competing in Miss Universe, I was using so much makeup and I started to really understand what it can do to your skin if you sleep in it and don't let your skin breathe,' she told Women's Health in 2019. 'I used to get cystic acne and I hated trying to cover it up. And it can hurt! Once I started being regimented about my skincare, that cleared up.'
Now, as the model navigates life as an expectant mother, some of those luxury products she once loved are (temporarily) out the door.
'I've been surprised by how much my skincare routine has had to change during pregnancy,' she said, when asked about the toughest thing she's had to give up at this time. 'A lot of the products I now need to use, or else I'll break out, are drugstore products. I've specifically been using Vanicream cleanser—it's very, very mild.'
Needless to say, beauty product selections aren't the only thing that's changed since the star became pregnant. She's now in the process of mastering the baby bump aesthetic.
'Pregnancy dressing is really all about highlighting the bump,' she said. 'It's funny, because for a while, I was working hard to dress in the exact opposite way. Figuring out how to balance all the new curves has been fun. It's definitely a process, and I think it's more about trial and error, finding what you feel most comfortable in. Personally, I've found that bumpsuits or jumpsuits are the most flattering.'
Embracing her body as is made Culpo an ideal fit for her new Cupshe partnership. Her selects can be found on Cupshe.com in the Cupshe x Olivia Culpo's Vacation Edit, which includes 30 bikinis, one-pieces, swim cover-ups and vacation dresses. She gets a little help from sisters Sophia and Aurora, who also model the pieces.

With her bump out in the open, she can flaunt it proudly, as seen in her campaign images. But in earlier stages of pregnancy, 'Having to find outfits that didn't show the bump was challenging and oftentimes pretty funny,' she said. 'Some things really, really don't work and other things do.'
Now, as she promotes her new partnership, the mom-to-be is excited to share pieces that are stylish and accessible, and 'give people an opportunity to have fun during the vacation season' at 'a reasonable price point.' (Prices range from $25.99 to $41.99 and sizes from XS to XL.)
Personally a fan of matching sets, she raves about about the Sangria Bliss Bikini Set in her Cupshe partnership that has a matching sarong. 'It's a complete outfit for your vacation beach day or pool party.'
Now, all that's missing are the inflatable floaties!

Miss Florida USA 2025 is a UF Gator; five other things to know about Palm Beach resident

The Palm Beach resident who claimed the Miss Florida USA crown in May is no stranger to competing in beauty pageants — or winning them. Lou Schieffelin, 25, a longtime professional model, aspiring pilot and director of marketing for a prominent Palm Beach real estate agent, secured her second crown on the Miss USA circuit on May 25. She previously was the 2018 Miss Florida Teen USA. The title comes one year after Schieffelin finished as second runner-up in the Miss Florida USA pageant. She will represent Florida at the Miss USA 2025 competition this fall, though a date and location have not been set. The Miss USA winner represents the United States at the Miss Universe competition, which will be held in November in Thailand. Here are five things to know about Miss Florida USA 2025 Lou Schieffelin: Schieffelin, who celebrated her 25th birthday June 7, spent her childhood in Greenwich, Connecticut, a city of 63,000 in the southwest corner of the state. She moved to Winter Park as a teenager and attended The First Academy in Orlando, where she played on the school's varsity volleyball team. Schieffelin went on to graduate from the University of Florida. Schieffelin has been a professional model for 16 years, following in her mom Stacey's footsteps. Stacey Schieffelin was a cover, catalog and runway model for more than 20 years, and she was instrumental in getting Lou and her sister, Knox, into modeling at a young age. As a child, Lou Schieffelin appeared on the cover of American Girl magazine, and she went on to work with brands like Ralph Lauren, Max Mara and Oscar de la Renta. Schieffelin said she has stepped away "a bit" from modeling, but she remains grateful for what it has offered her during the past 16 years. "It's been an amazing experience," she said. Schieffelin relocated to Palm Beach a year ago, moving in with a friend. She joined Margit Brandt's real estate office team as a director of marketing and licensed executive assistant, a role she told the Daily News she really enjoys. "She's obviously been very successful on the island," Schieffelin said of Brandt, who is affiliated with Premier Estate Properties. "I feel very honored to even be on the team." Both of Schieffelin's grandfathers were involved in aviation. One was a B-17 fighter pilot in World War II, and the other was a U.S. Army paratrooper. "Planes are kind of in my family, and I'm grateful to be able to continue the legacy," she said. Schieffelin's grandfather, Ed Stetler, operates a general livestock farm in Lakeland, and Schieffelin often visited during her childhood. "I definitely was dirty more than I was clean when I was little," she said. "I grew up in the mud. We were kind of in that southern tradition, like respect and hospitality and good business and handshakes. I'm grateful for my grandfather for raising me and my sister that way."

I'm over 40 and there are some bathing suits I just won't wear. Here are my favorite styles instead

Over-40 swimsuits quick picks Scoop-neck one-piece: Skims Signature Swim Scoop-Neck One-Piece Tummy-control one-piece: Cupshe V-Neck Tummy-Control One-Piece Tankini: Bleu Rod Beattie Print Ruffle Tankini Bikini bottom: Summersalt The Wrap High-Leg High-Rise Bikini Bottom Square-neck one-piece: Hunza G Square-Neck Swim One-Piece There comes a time in a woman's life when she realizes she can no longer wear certain items of clothing. For me, that moment came when I was packing for a beach vacation and was met with a sea of skimpy bikinis in eye-catching Day-Glo colors that I'd accumulated over the years. These would not do. That's not to say women over 40 shouldn't wear bikinis; I simply don't feel comfortable in the two-pieces I was wearing in my 20s and 30s. So, in search of some more flattering swimwear for my upcoming trip, I decided to call in some experts to see what I should be looking out for. If I want swimwear that fits, flatters, feels fashionable and is actually comfortable, stylist Elisa Ellis of Turnkey Style said to focus on features like 'high-waisted bottoms, ruching or twist designs. When it comes to the bust area, molded cups, built-in support and adjustable straps are nonnegotiables.' She added that 'these small details can make a big difference in how the suit fits and how confident you'll feel in it.' After an extensive search, I found that spending a little extra money on swimwear really makes a difference in the quality and fit too, which was directly proportional to how confident and comfortable I felt at the beach or lying poolside. 'There's a myth that you need to be a certain size to rock a swimsuit,' Ellis said. 'The truth? Confidence comes from the right fit, not the size on the tag. Choose a suit that makes you feel good [and] gives you confidence, and you will shine.' So, with that in mind, here are my favorite swimwear styles for women over 40. Skims Signature Swim Scoop-Neck One-Piece Black is a girl's best friend when it comes to having a slim silhouette, and this Kim Kardashian's Skims one-piece did not disappoint. Fashion stylist Sarah Nearis said Skims is one of her favorite brands for swimwear. "The brands that really know how to flatter a real woman's curves use the best material that make you feel secure and snatched, and have the cuts that hit in the right places to elongate the figure," she said. I loved the high leg of this suit, which really helped make me feel (and hopefully look) taller. Cupshe Ruffled One-Piece Swimsuit 'Ruching is wildly underrated," Ellis said. "I personally look for swimsuits with ruching because they flatter the figure and create a contoured look without making you hold your breath." She also recommends styles with a twist-front design, which she said "draws the eye inward and often includes built-in shaping panels for the tummy area." I love this colorful offering from Cupshe, which also has frills around the neckline to draw attention away from the midsection. Factory Scalloped One-Piece Swimsuit When it comes to swimwear, I tend to gravitate toward black for its slimming effects. When you are trying to hide anything you don't like about your body, black helps discreetly camouflage. Sure, it's not the most tropical of colors, but it works. What I love most about this one-piece from is the scalloped edging. It gives this otherwise boring suit a little je ne sais quoi. The swimsuit is fully lined, adjustable and super flattering. Cupshe V-Neck Tummy Control One-Piece Swimsuit Just like black, a pattern covers a multitude of sins, and I love this Cupshe one-piece for its bright colors and fun pattern. It is also very supportive around the cleavage and has ruching around the midsection. This is fast becoming one of my favorite swimsuits. Summersalt The Wrap High-Leg High-Rise Bikini Bottom I know I said I was done with bikinis, but after consulting Ellis, she said there are still ways to incorporate them into your summer wardrobe. 'Just because you're over 40 doesn't mean you have to ditch bikinis or bold colors. But you do want to look for styles that offer the right fit, structure, support and coverage for your body today,' she said. This Summersalt wrap bikini bottom — and the matching top — is flattering in all the right places and comes in a variety of colors. Hunza G Square-Neck Swim One-Piece I can't say enough about this swimsuit. At first, I balked at the price, but once I put it on, I fell in love and felt so confident in it. The crinkle fabric is both comfortable and flattering, and I really love the scoop back and high-leg cut of this style. According to Nearis, Hunza G's crinkle material is similar to ruching or draping on a dress, providing both texture and a smoothing effect to the figure. "Usually the scrunched material has a firmness in elasticity that creates more security and support, which any gal can appreciate in swimwear," she our review Bleu Rod Beattie Print Ruffle Tankini Offering more coverage than a string bikini but with the flexibility of a two-piece, we love a tankini. This one is so fun and flirty with the ruffle neckline and vibrant print. Summersalt The Sidestroke One-Piece Swimsuit I've loved Summersalt's swimwear line ever since it launched in 2017. I used to own a ton of bikinis from this brand, and they have really maintained their quality over the years. They have since been donated to my 30-year-old niece. This one-shoulder number is comfortable, flattering and looks great on any size. Lands' End SlenderSuit Tummy-Control Wrap One-Piece 'This swimsuit is bust-friendly for those with fuller chests," Ellis said. "The Slendertex fabric offers light sculpting, while the twist detail adds a flattering shape.' Like most of Lands' End's swimwear, this is available in petite, tall and long torso sizes, and it often has sales on swimwear. Boden Ruched Loop Swimsuit This one-piece has everything; ruching, a pattern that elongates the torso, a middle loop that cinches in the waist, a halter neck for support and a vintage style that screams summer. I get so many compliments when I wear this, and it looks great with a pair of denim shorts. Bleu Rod Beattie Halter Tankini The contrast white trim on this otherwise plain tankini really makes it stand out. I love a monochrome look, and I felt so confident in this suit. "I am a huge believer in, if you feel confident in a piece of clothing, then you can rock it. Whether it be a swimsuit or any type of outfit, I think it is important to enhance your favorite features and really lean into that so you feel good and confident," Nearis said. TA3 Lifty One-Piece Swimsuit This was a personal recommendation from Nearis and is also loved by our fashion editor Sophie Shaw, who said this viral swimsuit is very much worth the hype. Along with its medium compression for the tummy area, the lace-up back acts like a corset so you can tighten the fit as much or as little as you wish. Plus, the colorblocking creates a slimming illusion. The following FAQs have been answered by fashion stylist Sarah Nearis. Are tankinis most flattering for women over 40? Are tankinis most flattering for women over 40? 'Tankinis can work at any age, it really comes down to the fit and style,' Nearis said. 'Swimwear and any clothing looks best when it is enhancing your best features and silhouette. Making sure the fit and material has the best support and design to flatter your body is key.' Do high-waisted swimsuits look good on everyone? Do high-waisted swimsuits look good on everyone? 'I love a high-waisted swimsuit, no matter the age. A high-waisted swimsuit really hits at the highest and smallest part of the waist, which enhances your natural curves and shape, and elongates the legs,' Nearis said. How do you hide lower belly fat in a swimsuit? How do you hide lower belly fat in a swimsuit? According to Nearis, you can hide your lower stomach with specific silhouettes or accessories. 'It's all about finding the right pair of bottoms or a one-piece with the right material or pattern to distract from the area,' she said. She also recommends layering a sarong or skirt over your swimsuit for added coverage. For this article, we consulted the following experts to gain their professional insights.
