And ahead of this mega public appearance, Livvy’s preparations seem in full swing. Her constant social media updates regarding the big event have provided fans with a sneak peek into her look and also her excitement.

Adding a new Snapchat story recently, Olivia shared a full-length mirror selfie captioned, “my red carpet fit for tmr.” However, concealing nearly the entire apparel, she covered the picture with four enlarged GIFs. While three of them read ‘CENSORED,’ the biggest one in the center displayed a pixeled blur.
Despite disclosing that she has sorted her outfit, Dunne has still kept her much-awaited look a mystery. A year after she donned a stunning black lace gown at the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue event, the recent snap shows her wearing silver heels and hints at maybe another year of her gracing a black-colored fit.
Nonetheless, it’s official that the SI Swimsuit rookie’s ETA on the red carpet is just around the corner. Beaming with excitement, Olivia has added another Snapchat story captioned ‘See you soon NYC.’ With it, she announced her plans to be en route to New York City, where the event is likely to take place just like the previous edition.
The recent years have seen Livvy’s evolution as a multi-media star in the making. With a stellar gymnastics record to her name and reputed brand endorsement deals, it is apparent that she is juggling her athletic career whilst living her social media dream.
Olivia Dunne’s rise to the limelight in the fashion world
Livvy’s social media activities are too popular to go unnoticed. However, she has recently received overwhelming appreciation for her drop-dead gorgeous shots from the SI Swimsuit 2024 issue captured by Benn Watts. Livvy’s 15th May Instagram post shows two of her bikini poses, which garnered 3,000 comments from ecstatic fans. Even her contemporary SI Swimsuit model Xandra Pohl commented, “Jaw is on the floor.” Her fellow LSU gymnast Savannah Schoenherr remarked, “Brb trying to find an inhaler.”

Beyond SI Swimsuit, Olivia also holds partnerships with esteemed apparel brands like Nautica, Forever 21, and American Eagle. Back in February 2024, the gymnast had publicized herself as the new face of Nautica’s 2024 Spring collection, shortly after which she added an Instagram post gleefully posing in front of her own advertisement at NYC Times Square. Following this, March 2024 saw the inception of her landmark collaboration with Vuori Clothing.
Evidently, Olivia Dunne’s detour into the fashion world has been a successful one. However, she has still maintained silence about her upcoming gymnastic endeavors. As per the eligibility criteria post the COVID-19 pandemic, Olivia stands permitted to return to LSU for her fifth season. But, there is no official confirmation of her stance. While her return hangs in the balance, she is constantly upping her ante as a social media icon with back-to-back partnerships. Does this suggest that she is now gravitating towards a full-fledged career in modeling? Let us know what you think in the comments.
