With more than 3.6 million followers on Instagram, Olivia Culpo<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is one of the hottest model and influencer from USA. Her road to fame was quite different from the path of other celebrities that walk down the runways or star in photoshoots and social networks. Band camps and pageants were some of the steps she made to get where she is now, as she said to The Blonde Salad in this interview. Don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n

Actress, model, influencer… you’re so many things, Olivia! Is there a word that you prefer to use to define yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t think there’s one word to describe anyone so I love being able to do it all! I own a restaurant<\/a>, I\u2019m an actress, I love fashion and have a clothing line coming out, and I love being creative on Instagram. So I don’t think there’s just one word to define anyone.<\/p>\n

When you were a child, which was your dream job? Is it close to what you’re doing right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was a kid I always wanted to be in the entertainment industry. When I was in college, I looked at Giuliana Rancic and what she did with her career and remember being inspired by it. I also looked up to actresses like Halle Berry and Blake Lively<\/strong>. I always dreamed of doing Sports Illustrated<\/em><\/strong> and I just shot my second magazine cover with them. I feel pretty lucky and hope that it never stops!<\/p>\n

In 2012 you won Miss USA and Miss Universe. Can you tell us what you remember about this experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than anything I remember the moment that I decided to enter Miss USA. I had never entered a pageant before, but realized that a lot of women who had careers that I looked up to were in pageants. My parents didn’t really understand why I wanted to enter and weren\u2019t the most supportive. I rented a dress for $20 that had a hole in the back! I think it went really well though because I had nothing to lose. There were so many amazing moments throughout the process and I got to meet so many women from around the world. It was at times exhausting, but mostly exciting and eye-opening.<\/p>\n
