Olivia Dunne has graduated and competed in her last gymnastics competition, but that does not mean she is going anywhere.
Her next stop was SI.
The 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models have been revealed, and recently retired NCAA gymnast Olivia “Livvy” Dunne shined in her inaugural Sports Illustrated shoot.
The former LSU Tiger was one of four covers to grace the front of the issue, joining Olympic medalist Jordan Chiles, entrepreneur Lauren Chan, Oscar-nominated actress, Emmy Award-winning director, and producer Salma Hayek.
“People like to discredit what I do because of the way I look,” Dunne said to Sports Illustrated. “But if you take a deeper dive, there’s so much more.”
She is certainly not lying.
To bring more attention to the girls, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is slated to have a red carpet event in New York City.
Olivia Dunne plans on being there.
On Thursday evening, she took to her Instagram story and posted a behind-the-scenes picture of her outfit for the night.
Dunne posted herself rocking a slim white dress that appeared to be pulled up to show just enough of her booty and her legs.
“@si_swimsuit red carpet night,” Dunne captioned the picture.
She tagged her location in New York, but not the pricey hotel that she was staying at.
Big Things Are Certainly Coming For Olivia Dunne
Olivia Dunne appeared on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2023, but she is on the cover this time in 2025.
The 22-year-old debuted her SI swimsuit in 2023 with a shot in Puerto Rico and again in 2024 in Portugal.
Her college career being over only means she has more time to do other things that will attract more fans and money.
In college, she became one of the most recognizable and lucrative college athletes, boasting a substantial NIL valuation and a strong social media presence.
It was reported in February that Dunne remains the only gymnast in the top 10 NIL valuations in women’s sports. She created a path for future gymnasts to get paid like her.
