LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne has finally dropped her Halloween costume content and we are truly floored. The 2023 SI Swimsuit model, who was photographed by Ben Watts in Puerto Rico earlier this year, got super creative and crafted an intricate DIY dress to recreate Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen’s signature look.

The NCAA gymnast, who is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country, donned a nude maxi dress featuring a major hip-high center slit to reveal similar-colored underwear. The dress featured lots of cut-outs throughout the entire length and twisted white ring details in the middle holding it together. She added customized arm band accessories just like the character played by actress Emilia Clarke.

“You’ve no right to a braid, you’ve won no victories yet,” the 21-year-old lip-synced along to an audio from the series.

Her long blonde locks were tousled and wavy with a few small braided sections pinned back. Dunne, who is dating MLB Pittsburgh Pirates player Paul Skenes, opted for a pale glam moment, including minimal eye makeup and a light pink lip.

“Khaleesi 👑> #foryou #got,” the New Jersey native captioned the video she shared with her 7.8 million TikTok followers.

“The creativity is mind-blowing! 🌟🎨,” a fan commented.

“The Best Costume!!!😍💯🤩🙌🏽👏🏽❤️💞🥰,” someone added.

“you have won best costume,” another chimed.

“Your costume is so beautiful 10/10,” one person agreed.

“You are perfect in every way,” someone else gushed.

Dunne revealed over the weekend that she was missing college Halloween activities to focus on her “dream job,” but she promised a costume would be coming to social media on Oct. 31—and she sure delivered.
