We all know Olivia Culpo can serve glamorous looks on the red carpet (see her British Fashion Awards ensemble for evidence). But her incredible style isn’t just limited to high-fashion events. No matter the occasion, the model and 2012 Miss Universe knows how to show up.

She proved as much while on a family cruise last week, packing just what the occasion called for and more. In an outfit roundup that the 31-year-old shared to her Instagram following the trip, she put her various looks—from a chic travel ’fit to a glamorous night-out mini—on display.

We won’t walk through every outfit that Culpo brought with her to the tropics, but we will talk you through our takeaways.

1. Matching sets are always a good idea

Half—or perhaps more than half—of Culpo’s styles were matching sets. They ranged from leisurely looks (an off-white knit cardigan and pants to travel in) to elevated outfits (a gauzy, striped pair of pants and matching button-up).

2. Invest in cover-ups that match your swimwear

If you’re swimsuit is, like Culpo’s, a patterned blue, snag a coverup to match. It doesn’t have to be so specific. She also wore a black bikini with a matching black sarong—a style that could go with several different swimwear sets.

3. Maxi dresses are a versatile necessary

She wore a couple of different cotton, figure-hugging maxis during her ocean-going trip. They’re simple enough to be dressed up or down, depending on what the occasion demands.

4. One high-fashion style is a must

For the model, it came in the form of a white satin mini dress. Whether or not you have a fancy night out planned, packing a nice, elevated outfit is always a good idea.
