Olivia Culpo Packs a Luxurious Maternity Bag, Sparks Online Reactions

As Olivia Culpo prepares to welcome her first child, the former Miss Universe showcased her maternity packing list, prompting amused and critical responses from online audiences. Culpo, 33, shared a TikTok video detailing her extensive preparations for her hospital stay, noting she packed everything into “two large suitcases.”

Her items included several comfort and luxury items like her personal pillows, fluffy comforters, sleep masks, a mini-fan, and flameless candles—some of which she admitted were “ridiculous.” She also listed essentials such as a nursing bra, nipple butter, electrolyte powder, plus electronics like a camera and extension cord, advising fellow parents to bring a tripod if documenting their birth.

Culpo’s clothing choices ranged from a robe to lounge sets, pajama sets, a smock dress, and an all-black cashmere outfit, prompting her to remark, “This is probably getting ridiculous.” She acknowledged that many items were more about luxury and comfort than necessity but aimed to make her hospital experience more pleasant.

Many social media users poked fun at her overpacking, with comments like “You’re camping in the hospital?” and “All the white is… bold,” referencing her luxurious selections. Some critics teased that pillows and other excessive comfort items might hinder sleep due to hospital interruptions. However, others defended her, noting that as a first-time mom, it’s understandable she’s prioritizing comfort.

Throughout her video, Culpo kept a humorous tone, admitting she slightly overpacked but emphasizing her goal to stay comfortable. She announced her pregnancy in March, sharing black-and-white maternity photos with the caption “next chapter, motherhood.” Culpo and her husband, NFL star Christian McCaffrey, married in June 2024 in a lavish Rhode Island wedding.
