Olivia Culpo Taunts American Airlines With Risqué Outfit On Delta Air Lines

Matthew Klint Posted onJanuary 24, 2022November 14, 2023 58 Comments

After being told to cover up on American Airlines, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo flew home from Mexico to Los Angeles on Delta, donning an outfit even more risqué than on her outbound journey. Delta did not question her wardrobe choice and the model made sure to rub it in.

Olivia Culpo Flies Home On Delta Air Lines, This Time Without Wardrobe Drama

After a week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with her sister Aurora and boyfriend Christian McCaffrey, Culpo flew back to Los Angeles. This time, though, she flew Delta Air Lines.

On her outbound journey, American Airlines had told her that her outfit..tights and a sports bra…were too risqué to fly, even though she had a loose fitting cover up over it. She ended up putting on her boyfriend’s sweatshirt in order to fly and made waves after her sister bitterly attacked AA on social media, particularly when another passengers (of a different body type and skin color) was allowed to board with substantially the same outfit.

During her time in Mexico, Culpo trolled American Airlines with an Instagram post captioned, “Please use caution while using the overheard bins as items may have shifted during flight.”

Wearing high-waisted lime green leggings with a matching sport bra, the 29-year-old star was photographed stepping off a Delta flight from Cabo at Los Angeles International Airport.

Her sister reported no problems on the return flight.

CONCLUSION

Culpo becomes the highest-profile travelers to encounter the wrath of American Airlines’ selective fashion police. We can certainly debate the wisdom of wearing such an outfit on a plane, but the bottom line is that she covered what had to be covered and at least one other passenger on the same flight was not stopped even though she was wearing substantially the same thing.

Moral of the story? Until American Airlines more clearly defines its dress code, you might consider flying another airline if you wish to wear workout attire onboard.

      I’m amused that you think AA is bringing class back by asking her to cover up. A single gate agent tells of a classless airline. A tiny lav tells of a classless airline. Flight Attendants demanding less service requirements in flight tells of a classless airline. Should we go on? We certainly have enough examples to keep going.

    • Bob Timrin Reply
      January 25, 2022 at 1:47 am

      Thank you Ken, for your upstanding comment. As a gate agent, I can tell you how deplorable it is, how trashy people are dressing when they board commercial airlines. Many, even the one I work for, do not allow short tops that reveal an open midriff. These highly sensitive whiners need to fly private, if they cannot follow the airlines rule of carriage. But then Olivia Culpa didn’t read it, I’m sure.
      This along with COUNTLESS passengers who leave their laptops, cell phones, I pads, etc. Behind on aircraft, after they leave the plane, then complain to the gate agents, etc. that they must go retrieve their stuff. If passengers cannot adult, please stop flying. We are not your baby sitters. We have enough tasks to do, to get each flight out on time, without catering to your misplaced items, and whining about what YOU didn’t wear. Grow up!

      I have flown American Airlines at least six times per year for the last 15 years and have never encountered anything but polite and gracious employees, from gate agents to flight attendants. In addition, the flight attendants have always been welcoming and eager to please. But, then, I am nice and polite to them, never giving them the impression that I think of them as servants. Your comment sounds like sour grapes- like, maybe you tried and could not get a job with them. I have also flown Delta and United several times and have found nothing that would make me want to switch.

      The first Leche that recognizes her on a commercial flight will be shouting all kind of sexualinnuendos, and then she’ll while all over again. That’s one of the reasons airlines make you dress appropriately! If you want to be a stripper, stay off commercial aircraft.

    My advice to everyone;

    She should get a therapist tip figure out she is not being exploited. Her boyfriend should get her on camera, especially having sex, that she is the relationship on free will and not being forced, exploited, coerced or raped.

    All women should have to pay into an insurance fund from middle school age. Later in life when they wake up and decide they were exploited to use that fund instead of public taxpayer money to prosecute their cases.

    Whether you’re on an airplane or not, put some clothes on. As far as airlines go, they can shove up their government funded asses. I haven’t found an airline yet that’s worth two shits or a used condom.

    All this fuss about a bare midriff on a woman with a shape. How digusting is it to be forced to see a fat man’s butt crack and oversized gut hanging below his ill-fitting shirt.
    Sounds like a lot of double standard judgment on this post. You are the problem.
    Maybe you look deeper inside yourself to figure out why you are so appalled.

    These are also the first people to ask for a blanket during flight. There are no blankets anymore… This is why you dress appropriately for travel. In layers. Years ago i had to cover up a girl in first class who had on such a short skirt that when she fell asleep/passed out from medication she took, her skirt rode up and you could see everything. Thankfully she was at least wearing underwear. And was sitting in first where we did have blankets at the time. The guy sitting next to her, who was not with her, rang the call button and was like, can you do something about this? I’ve seen everything on the plane. People should dress like how they would want to look if they ended up in a news video. With travel these days it could easily happen.

    Oliva is supposed to represent the World and this includes young impressionable girls. What message does this give them. She could have dressed in an beautiful outfit to fly in and looked more beautiful and even received more attention. What she did was demeaning to women You can be beautiful without looking like a “slut”.

    The issue isn’t the dress code. The issue is that American Airlines enforced the code for her but not for the other passenger who was wearing the same type of outfit.
    A lot of these comments feel like personal attacks against Olivia. Take your personal feelings out of it. The airline should be fair. If you’re going enforce the dress code then do it for everyone.

    She finally got the attention she was devnied as a child….. poor little sad girl. Maybe pole dancing should be her next career. Why shou ld decent public , seat paying customers have to put up this display with clearly a little girl who never grew up, craves the attention she never got, and no matter what age, she is a spoiled brat. P.S. they have a d.s.m. Code and meds for her condition.

    She truly represents narcissism…someone who doesn’t think the rules apply to her. The way she dresses and her daily posting shows a woman who is constantly seeking attention. I understand how men are attracted to her but eventually have enough sense to leave her.
