Olivia Culpo attended the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s 11th Annual Blossom Ball, which was held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City on Monday evening.

The 30-year-old model was a vision of glamour at the event, which saw her rub elbows with figures such as Corinne Fox and Tracey Haas.

The former Miss Universe, who recently spent time in Mexico with her boyfriend Christian McCaffrey, has been open about her struggles with endometriosis in the past.

Culpo wore a gorgeous black dress that showcased her toned arms during the event.

Several portions of the fashion industry personality’s outfit flared outward at the ball, and the lower part of her dress covered up her toned legs.

The social media personality added a bit of extra shine to her look with a pair of sparkling earrings.

Her gorgeous brunette hair was tied back into a tight braid as she spent time on the event’s red carpet.

Culpo revealed that she had been diagnosed with endometriosis in a series of posts that were shared to her Instagram Story in August of 2020.

At the time, the supermodel described living with the condition as ‘no fun.’

However, she has since partnered with the Endometriosis Foundation of America in an effort to raise awareness about the condition.

The fashion industry figure previously spoke to People and discussed how endometriosis had greatly affected her well-being. 

‘It slowly takes over your life. You begin to plan your life around endometriosis because you can’t function. Every month, you don’t know if it’s going to be five times worse than last month, or ten times worse,’ she said.

Culpo eventually elected to go through surgery to assist with her symptoms, a prospect that she considered to be ‘scary’ at the time.

However, the social media personality recalled that she ‘felt so much better’ after going under the knife.

Although the social media personality admitted that her recovery process was difficult, she was still happy to have been able to undergo surgery.

‘I was definitely in pain. But to be honest…it was nothing compared to the pain that I had been feeling on a monthly basis. It’s nothing. It’s a walk in the park compared to the monthly pain that you have with endo,’ she said. 

Culpo added that deciding to go through with the surgery ‘was the best decision that I ever made.’
