Adam Tschorn of Los Angeles Times wrote that "If Los Angeles fashion week has one face, it might belong to Caroline D’Amore. Over the course of her career, the 23-year-old has walked hundreds of runway shows in this town – sometimes up to 14 a week –and left an impression that’s hard to ignore."
D'Amore was often photographed with fellow socialites Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kimberly Stewart, Nicole Richie and Nicky Hilton.{{Cite magazine|last=Zimmerman|first=Cara|date=2017-07-17|title=Paris Hilton Tweets Photos from Her and Kim Kardashian's 2006 Ibiza Trip|url=https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a10316388/paris-hilton-kim-kardashian-ibiza/|access-date=2020-07-15|magazine=Harper's BAZAAR|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|title=Caroline D'Amore: Meet The Socialite Replacing Misha Barton On 'The Hills' Re-Boot|url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/celebrity/caroline-damore-meet-the-socialite-replacing-misha-barton-on-the-hills-re-boot/ar-BB10KQSn|access-date=2020-07-20|website=www.msn.com}}{{Cite web|date=October 21, 2021|first=Maria|last=Yagoda |title=22 Photos of Birthday Girl Kim Kardashian That You Definitely Forgot Existed|url=https://people.com/tv/kim-kardashian-west-throwback-photos/|access-date=2021-12-09|website=people.com|language=en}} "Going out in LA, I don't have to wait in line or anything like that. I don't remember the last time I did that. It's definitely the VIP lifestyle. Drinks are often on the house and I've lived a fabulous life so far," she said in an episode of MTV's reality show My Super Sweet World Class in 2011. During this period she continued working as a fashion model and had roles in multiple television series.{{Cite web|title=Rumors Suggest Caroline D'Amore Is Joining the Cast of "The Hills" Reboot|url=https://www.distractify.com/p/caroline-damore-the-hills|access-date=2021-05-25|website=Distractify|date=5 March 2020 |language=en-US}} In the 2010s, she focused on D'Amore's Pizza, catering business and her pasta sauces line.File:Caroline D'Amore visit to Israel, November 2023.jpg after the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, November 2023]]
Activism
D'Amore visited Kfar Aza after the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel in November 2023. She has shared posts and videos on social media in support of the Jewish community, saying, "If you’re one of these people ripping off posters and spewing hate, you need to take a really good look at yourself and ask yourself, why would you ever do that? Free the Palestinians does not mean torture Jewish people."{{Cite web |last=hersh |date=2023-11-21 |title="Pizza Girl" Caroline D'Amore Steps Up for the Jewish Community |url=https://aish.com/pizza-girl-caroline-damore-steps-up-for-the-jewish-community/ |access-date=2024-01-29 |website=Aish.com |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Morgan |first=Jazzie |date=2023-12-12 |title=6 non-Jewish creators voicing their support for Israel |url=https://jewishunpacked.com/6-non-jewish-creators-supporting-israel/ |access-date=2024-01-29 |website=Unpacked |language=en-US}}
