Olivia Dunne is SI Swimsuit’s newest 2023 model and we couldn’t be more excited. The Division I gymnast, who attends LSU on a full scholarship, was photographed by Ben Watts in Puerto Rico earlier this year and the photos are absolutely stunning.

Dunne, who is the highest-paid NCAA athlete in the country with a seven-figure salary, makes her debut in the SI Swimsuit Issue this May. She hopes to inspire women with her magazine feature and give them the courage to shoot for the stars.

“I want to show young girls that you can have it all, and you don’t need to choose between whatever it is you’re passionate about,” she says. “You can be passionate about music, art. You don’t need to pick and choose. You can do it all and be successful. I think you need to set your own expectations for success and dream big.”

She’s proud to partner with a brand that aligns so well with her own values and mission.

“The way that the [SI Swimsuit] brand has evolved and has become such a positive spotlight for women to tell their stories and to spread awesome messages of being strong, sexy and beautiful, I knew that was something I wanted to be part of,” she adds. “I just feel like our visions and core values really align, so it just felt like a perfect fit. The magazine is all about celebrating women and making them feel strong and confident, which I love.”

Below are four gorgeous photos of Dunne:
