Olivia Dunne nailed her routine at the LSU gymnastics exhibition on Dec. 12, and lucky for her 4.5 million Instagram followers, she shared the exclusive HD professional pics taken at the campus’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The NCAA star, who is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country, looked fierce as ever as she donned her signature sparkly purple-and-gold leotard and held a splits position on the beam.

Dunne, who is dating Pittsburgh Pirates player Paul Skenes, pointed her toes and held the beam with one hand, while the other was extended forward. The 21-year-old was captured from the side and below for an ultra-cheeky photo and showed off her super fit figure and stunning side profile. The New Jersey native’s long blonde locks were tossed up into a ponytail secured with a purple scrunchy, and she opted for a full glam.

“seasons greetings😼,” the SI Swimsuit model, who was photographed in Puerto Rico for the 2023 magazine and Portugal for the next May’s issue, captioned the Dec. 18 photo.

“I hope you’re under my Christmas tree,” teammate Savannah Schoenherr commented.

“How festive,” big sister Julz Dunne added.

“best time of year😍,” fellow gymnast Kiya Johnson wrote. “yesss liv!”

“The best is yet to come!” LSU athlete Jillian Hoffman exclaimed.

“QUEEN,” influencer Katie Feeney chimed.

The TikTok star and her fellow Tigers are gearing up for the team’s first official competition season meet against Ohio State University on Jan. 5. The team wrapped up the 2023 season with an overall score of 197.525 in the NCAA Championship Final, and finished fourth nationally.
