New Miss USA cites Audrey<br />
Hepburn as role model<br />
(AP) — The nation’s newest Miss USA<br />
winner is a Rhode Island cellist who<br />
describes herself as a nerd and aspires<br />
to be more like Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn.<br />
Olivia Culpo shares Hepburn’s European heritage<br />
and dark brown hair and soon they will share something<br />
else. Culpo said after winning her crown Sunday night that<br />
she plans to go to Tiffany & Co. in New York and recreate<br />
Hepburn’s iconic opening scene from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”<br />
Culpo, a Boston University sophomore, will take a year<br />
off from her studies to tackle her duties as Miss USA and<br />
represent the nation in the 61st Miss Universe contest in<br />
December.<br />
Culpo strutted across the stage in a lilac bikini, then<br />
donned a flowing fuchsia gown with sparkly trim around<br />
her waist and décolletage. After making it to the final five,<br />
Culpo voiced her support for transgender beauty queens<br />
during the make-or-break interview round.<br />
Culpo said she was short and chubby as a girl, but<br />
blossomed after a growth spurt. She spent her summers<br />
at band camp after learning to play the cello in second<br />
grade. Her parents are also musicians, and her love for<br />
music saw her perform at Symphony Hall in Boston and<br />
Carnegie Hall in New York City.<br />
Culpo is a 2010 graduate of St. Mary Academy Bay<br />
View, an all-girls Catholic school in Riverside, where she<br />
was a member of the National Honor Society. She said<br />
she comes from a big, Italian family and speaks some<br />
Italian. On her Twitter account, she describes herself as a<br />
nerd and model.<br />
“I was just so surprised, so shocked, so honored to be<br />
there,” she said of her win.<br />
