Olivia Culpo always knows how to set a trend, and her latest cover for Shape is no exception. Posing on the beach in a black long-sleeved, high-cut bodysuit, the model looks classy and chic as she discusses her “holistic approach to health,” in the issue that hit shelves November 13th.
Culpo, who also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated this year, shifted her beachwear from bikini to bodysuit for a more modest look while still showing off her lithe figure. Turtlenecks are in this season and we’re taking notes!
The 28-year-old model shared her cover to Instagram, where she got a little sentimental. She captioned the gorgeous pic, “Thank you @shape for making me your December cover girl. What an honor! I have admired this magazine my entire life, I will never forget seeing it at the grocery stores as a little girl and looking at the women gracing the covers in awe. And thank you so much to the village who made these shots possible. This was my first ever pandemic cover shoot and it would not have been possible without such an amazing team.” Aw!
Over the last few days, Culpo has posted several more snaps from the shoot, showing off her jealousy-inducing abs in a burnt orange crop top and skirt. In another pic, she poses tastefully topless in only a large rattan hat--very chic!
Fans loved the shots, with model Shanina Shaik commenting a series of heart emojis. Even Shape commented on the pic, writing, “We are in LOVE with this issue !”
In the article, Culpo discusses her battles with endometriosis, her charity collection More Than a Mask, and her philosophy on healthy eating and wellness. She explains that although she was diagnosed with endometriosis a year and a half ago, she suffered with chronic pain for months before she was able to get a proper diagnosis. But while she has a holistic healing routine in place, the model attributes her stunning figure to a regime of Pilates and HIIT, which we will be adding into our workout routine ASAP!
If a high-cut turtleneck bodysuit is good enough for Olivia Culpo, then it’s good enough for me! With the holidays right around the corner, we’ll be adding power suits, turtlenecks, and just a little bit of skin into our seasonal style. There are worse people to take style advice from than former Miss Universe!
