Hailee Steinfeld and Olivia Culpo are two of the most notable NFL WAGs. Hailee is now engaged to Buffalo Bills QB/legend Josh Allen and Olivia Culpo is recently married to 49ers RB Christian McCaffery. While their football-playing partners battle it out on field, let’s see how Hailee and Olivia battle head-to-head.
Round 1: Career Highlights
Hailee Steinfeld:
Hailee’s Hollywood debut in True Grit was the acting equivalent of a mic drop. At just 14, she was nominated for an Oscar, a feat most teens can only dream of. Since then, she’s starred in The Edge of Seventeen, was hilarious in Hawkeye (underrated Disney+ series), and lent her voice to Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) (which earned over $375 million and $690.8 million globally). Oh, and let’s not forget her Pitch Perfect 2 days, where she proved she can belt a tune just as well as she can deliver a punchline.
Olivia Culpo:
Olivia took a different route, starting by being crowned Miss Universe in 2012, which was first American winner in 15 years. While Hailee was practicing acceptance speeches, Olivia was perfecting her pageant wave. She transitioned into modeling, becoming a regular in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and snagging endorsements with brands like L’Oréal. Plus, Olivia dabbled in acting with I Feel Pretty and Reprisal.
Winner: Hailee. An Oscar nod beats a tiara… add in her box office numbers and this is an easy W for Hailee.
Round 2: Music and Pop Culture Coolness
Hailee Steinfeld:
Not content with just acting, Hailee launched a music career. Tracks like Love Myself and Starving made her a pop sensation. And let’s talk about her recent collaboration with Friday Beers. Hailee chugging metaphorical (and maybe literal) cold ones while showing off her comedic chops? Peak cool.

Olivia Culpo:
While Olivia hasn’t released any pop bangers, she’s an influencer. Original, right? Her fashion line collaborations and glamorous content on Instagram keep her in the spotlight.
Winner: Another easy win for Hailee, because you can’t argue with Marvel cred and the party vibes of Friday Beers. Plus influencers are as common as blades of grass on a football field.
Round 3: Love Lives and Intagibles
Hailee Steinfeld:
Hailee is officially off the market—congrats to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen who recently put a ring on it. Fans are already speculating whether Hailee will bring Hollywood glitz to Buffalo’s tailgates. Will Josh be tossing touchdowns to Hailee’s rendition of Starving? Stay tuned.
Olivia Culpo:
Olivia tied the knot with NFL superstar Christian McCaffrey earlier this year. However, rumor has it she clashed with Christian’s family over wedding plans. Allegedly, the “tiff” involved seating arrangements and Olivia’s love for photo ops. Additionally, she made a bold move on the wedding dress and naturally the internet only had nice things to say about it. However, the funniest thing is that she was bullied by the McCaffrey family for not being able to afford a Superbowl suite.
Winner: Olivia brings a lot of drama to the family, so we’ll have to give the nod to Hailee here
Final Round: Who Would You Want at a Tailgate?
Hailee Steinfeld:
With Hailee’s Friday Beers vibe and Josh Allen’s football prowess, your tailgate is instantly upgraded. She’s singing, he’s tossing touchdowns, and you’re breaking tables, living your best life.
Olivia Culpo:
Olivia would bring the glam factor, complete with influencer-approved snacks and maybe a guest appearance by Christian McCaffrey. But would she be too focused on getting the perfect Instagram shot? Do they even tailgate in that stadium an hour away from SF?
Winner: Hailee. Beer, bangers, and Bills Mafia? Say no more.
The Verdict
Both women are undeniable stars, but in this head-to-head, Hailee easily takes the crown. From an Oscar nod to Marvel and Friday Beers, she is the clear winner across the board and seems like a much more fun hang.
