Who is Olivia Palermo?
Born on February 18, 1986, Olivia Palermo is the only daughter of real estate developer Douglas Palermo and interior designer Lynn Hutchings.

A former intern at Quest magazine, Olivia rose to fame after she garnered the attention of Patrick McMullan, who was widely respected for his ability to catapult one to the top by capturing them in his photographs. Soon afterward, she became a famous socialite, yet her ascension was far from the smoothest. In fact, Olivia is well-known for taking legal action against ‘Socialite Rank’ in 2007 when the anonymous blog claimed that she had asked other socialites to give her a chance, something that she denies to date. Due to her active lifestyle choices and charitable ventures like New Yorkers For Children and Operation Smile, she had no shortage of admirers and gained much respect.
In 2008, Olivia stepped foot in the world of television by being a part of ‘The City’ from 2008 to 2010. 2011 saw her appearing for special episodes in shows like ‘Britain’s Next Top Model’ and ‘Project Runway.’ Additionally, Olivia made a cameo in ‘The Smurfs.’ Due to her eye for fashion, the socialite has also worked as a model and has been the face of many brands. Moreover, she has graced the front cover of reputed magazines like Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Elle, and many more. Besides, the New School graduate is known for partnering with Carrera y Carrera, Aspinal of London, Nordstrom, Banana Republic, etc.
