SI Swimsuit model Olivia Dunne has hit a major milestone. The LSU gymnast, who was photographed by Ben Watts in Puerto Rico earlier this year, turned 21 on Sunday, Oct. 2, and, of course, she celebrated her special day in style,

The New Jersey native, who is dating MLB player Paul Skenes, shared a stunning series of digital camera pics with her 4.4 million Instagram followers. She posed against a plain wall in a sparkly white scoop neck bodycon dress featuring a small one-side slit and spaghetti straps. Dunne paired the micro figure-hugging number with a black sash that read “Birthday Girl” in shimmery cursive writing and a dainty Van Cleef pendant necklace. Her long blonde locks were perfectly straightened and she opted for a full glam moment, including chiseled cheekbones, rosy blush, dramatic lashes, bronze eyeshadow and a glossy caramel brown lip.

The NCAA star, who is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country, flaunted her toned legs and arms and tiny waist in a series of poses with her knee bent and hand running through her hair.

“Do your thang 21!🥂 #21,” she captioned the carousel, and quoted viral lyrics from rappers Drake and 21 Savage’s hit song, “Rich Flex.”

“happy birthday HOTTIE,” SI Swimsuit rookie Sixtine commented.

“HOT!!! Happy birthday ily,” 2022 co-Rookie of the Year Katie Austin added.

“Happy Birthday! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 sending love and advil,” magazine editor in chief MJ Day wrote.

“Can I have my ID back,” older sister Julz Dunne asked.

“CMON BARBIE LETS GO PARTY,” Breese Maroc chimed.

“YUPPPP bday queen,” roommate, BFF and teammate Elena Arenas cheered.
