Talking With Our Mouths Full: Miss USA, Olivia Culpo

This year's Miss USA has already had to deal with the beauty and the burden of the crown, and she hasn't even been Queen for a week yet. In between shaking hands, cello recitals, and handling lawsuits, Olivia swung by the GQ offices for a little soup, salad, and polite—hell, even royal-like—shit talking

GQ: So how long have you been in pageants?
Olivia Culpo: Miss Rhode Island was my first and I wore a $20 dress that I rented with a hole in the back. It still looked cute, but nobody would have known that I rented it for twenty dollars.

GQ: What made you want to get into pageants?
Olivia Culpo: It was the beginning of my sophomore year when I won [Miss Rhode Island]. I went to Boston and joined a modeling agency, talent agency, and started acting and modeling. I had grown up playing the cello, so I was always on stage and always comfortable.

GQ: With shows that show the dark side of pageantry like Toddlers & Tiaras—and the overall stigma of pageant girls—were you weary of getting into them?
Olivia Culpo: I think the pageant system is about empowering women. I think that aspect of it is great, but when you take parents who are forcing their children to do anything, I don't think it's healthy. That aspect of Toddlers & Tiaras I don't think is helpful, but in terms of the pageant system as a whole, I really do think it does empower women.

GQ: What do you make of the situation with Miss Pennsylvania resigning and Donald Trump threating to sue her? Does it hurt the pageant system?
Olivia Culpo: Well it's funny because her initial resignation was based off of her disagreement with the transgender policy of Miss Universe organization. As you probably already know, Miss Universe organization now accepts the transgender people. So it's kind of strange that that was her initial resignation and now all of a sudden she's trying to say that she saw a list of five… [before the top five were announced]. To be honest with you, I'm upset with her that she is resigning because she is missing out on a great opportunity as Miss Pennsylvania USA. She definitely is just being a poor sport, because I don't think that you can flip your answer like a switch. Like why are you resigning, is it because of that or because you saw the top five?

GQ: Do you believe there is any truth to her accusation?
Olivia Culpo: No, it's not, and if you've been following what Donald Trump has been saying, it's really carefully calculated. And there's a preliminary show and interview with a panel of judges. There's the final night which is already just with the top 15, and it's a new set of judges, and they're celebrity judges who don't have anything to do with the pageant. It's a silly thing. It's a silly thing that she said that and it's just not true.

GQ: Let's talk about something a little more lighthearted, like men's style. What's your biggest turnoff?
Olivia Culpo: Okay this is a big one, but guys who wear sneakers to the beach. Not like boat shoes, those are okay. I mean if you're going to be on a boat you can wear boat shoes. I also don't like when guys wear like bathing suits to go to eat or stuff like that.

GQ: Who do you think is the most stylish celebrity?
Olivia Culpo: Ryan Gosling's like my crush but I don't really pay attention to his personal style.

GQ: Who is someone who needs to step it up a bit?
Olivia Culpo: I want to say Brad Pitt because I keep thinking about his beard. Oh, Jack Black! He needs to step it up.

GQ: How should he step his game up?
Olivia Culpo: Well I love preppy-style; I like J. Crew for guys. Maybe he should wear a slight v-neck shirt. I think that can be cute. But not too much because we don't want to get all "disco."

GQ: I can't imagine Jack Black all prepped out though.
Olivia Culpo: Okay, you're right. I'd just stay away from florals and keep it simple. He should make sure that his pants are more fitted, maybe some jeans, maybe some nice khakis. No cargo pants.

GQ: Rob Kardashian was one of the judges in your pageant. He criticized you guys for having on "too much makeup." A lot of guys are into women wearing less make-up but he caught a lot of slack for his question. Was he wrong?
Olivia Culpo: [Pageant contestants] are done up because they want to be entertaining, it's TV. That's part of it. If you're vying for the title of Miss USA, you want to be a beauty queen, so it is a lot of hair, and it is a lot of makeup. But there are different degrees and it was kind of bad to generalize the whole group. That's a stereotypical thing to say but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

GQ: Ready for a rapid fire of "favorite" questions?
Olivia Culpo: Yes!

GQ: Who's your favorite president of all time?
Olivia Culpo: Ronald Reagan, because of his fiscal policies.

GQ: Favorite fast food chain?
Olivia Culpo: Dunkin' Donuts. I have to have coffee in the morning

GQ: Favorite actor?
Olivia Culpo: Tom Hanks, I love him so much. I honestly feel like when I watch him on screen that I know him.

GQ: Favorite holiday that you still have to work on?
Olivia Culpo: Halloween, absolutely Halloween.

GQ: Why?
Olivia Culpo: Because you get to dress up, you get to be fun.

GQ: What is your favorite Halloween costume?
Olivia Culpo: I'm like always a cat, so boring.

GQ: Favorite rapper?
Olivia Culpo: Nicki Minaj because she's a girl so…props.

GQ: Are you excited about the election coming up?
Olivia Culpo: Yes, because this is my first time voting in a national election.

GQ: If Donald Trump were running, would you vote for him?
Olivia Culpo: I don't know, I'd have to look more into his policies more, you know? I haven't done my research yet because he isn't running.

GQ: Do you think he'd make a good president?
Olivia Culpo: I think that he's one of America's best entrepreneurs of all time. So I definitely admire him for that. I'd be really curious to see his policies and look into that.

GQ: If a guy was going to ask Miss USA on a date, how should he go about it?
Olivia Culpo: No corny pickup lines, although I do eat that stuff up.

GQ: Do you? What's the funniest pickup line you've heard?
Olivia Culpo: I was at one of my dad's restaurants in Boston, just sitting there. I got this napkin that said "The Story of Us." It was a diagram that was divided into like 50 sections—like Us At The Movies, Us Ice Skating, us doing this, us doing that. That was really cute.

GQ: So the key to Miss USA's heart is a napkin?
Olivia Culpo: Yep, napkins, notes. Be creative.

GQ: As you begin your reign as Miss USA, what are you most nervous about?
Olivia Culpo: I just don't want to make anybody upset. So, I guess, just, uh, saying the wrong thing.
