Olivia Culpo has alleged she was asked to cover up before boarding an American Airlines flight to Cabo, Mexico. The 29-year-old model's sister Aurora took to Instagram to claim that the airline officials at the boarding gate asked her to "cover up" her black sports bra which she had worn with black cycling shorts and a longline cardigan.

They were joined by Olivia's boyfriend Christian McCaffrey who offered her a gray hoodie which she wore in response. "Olivia and I are going to Cabo and look at her outfit," Aurora said in the video, adding: "She looks cute. She looks appropriate."

But she added: "No. They call her up to the desk and tell her that she needs to put a blouse on, otherwise she can't get on the plane".

Olivia added the video on her own Stories, and wrote: "Tell me is that not so [expletive] up."

The former Miss Universe made it to the resort eventually, where she was joined by family members and shared pictures of the sunset and their first night watching fireworks, writing: "Home for the next few days."

But fans were torn over whether Olivia should have covered up, with one asking: "What I don’t get is why is it so hard for you to put a shirt on instead of just a bra?"

"Since when is a bra whether sporty or not appropriate on a plane?" asked another.

However one follower joked: "Waiting to see what she puts on @oliviaculpo to fly home. I know it will be epic."
