Olivia Dunne is known for both her athletic prowess and her status as a social media superstar. The LSU gymnast is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country, and will soon embark on her senior season when the Tigers compete in an exhibition match in Baton Rouge in December. 

The 21-year-old made her editorial modeling debut with the SI Swimsuit Issue in May, after traveling to Puerto Rico with photographer Ben Watts. The New Jersey native posed in a number of incredible swimwear looks while on set, all of which were inspired by a dark and grungy Wednesday Addams aesthetic.

Dunne proved a natural in front of the lens, and noted that her time on set with the SI Swimsuit team was a “dream come true.” 

“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 told us of her magazine feature. “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.”

Since her January photoshoot, Dunne put her words into action and launched The Livvy Fund, a partnership with Bayou Traditions to create NIL endorsement deal for female student athletes at LSU, in July. Accelerator Active Energy recently became the first brand to partner with the collective and issued NIL deals to eight of Dunne’s peers.

In honor of her continued success both on and off the mat, we’re throwing it back to a few of our favorite cut-out swimsuit looks from Dunne’s photoshoot.
