Fan Love For Olivia Dunne Gets Vintage Twist As Artistic Update On SI Swimsuit Issue Goes Viral

Olivia Dunne really knows how to stack up the stones thrown at her to reach for the heights. Since creating buzz over becoming the most followed collegiate female athlete last year her upgrade to the highest-paid LSU gymnast is remarkable. Over time, she partnered with top-notch brands earning millions of dollars. In particular, her collaboration with SI Swimsuit put her on another level of digital persona.

Since the SI swimsuit issue saw a plethora of people loving her in a bold avatar, just recently the newest BTS shoot was released that went viral in no time. When the love was overwhelming, the 21-year-old gymnast shared a vintage twist of their project.

Olivia Dunne adds to the collaboration insight

Yesterday, Dunne and SI Swimsuit magazine were all that sports entertainment fans were talking about. The photo shoot marks the 60th anniversary of the brand and was shot in Porto and North of Portugal. Livvy shared an Instagram story reposting a bunch of Polaroids posted by photographer Ben Watts from their shoot. She captioned it with the stars and camera emoji highlighting the vintage lens share.

In the May 2023 issue, the LSU Tigers gymnast was first featured in the magazine becoming the first set of collegiate female models to do so. In addition, this return is so much more special for Livvy since she’s shot for the 2024 issue which came with the ‘rookie’ promotion. For the 2024 edition, she posed in a white Ola Vida bikini with a skirt by BABEN and a complimenting necklace by Vanessa Mooney.

Speaking about her return, she said, “Coming back for Year 2, I mean, last year I said it was a dream come true, and nothing’s changed. It’s still a dream come true. I can’t believe I can call myself a rookie.” The peek into their announcement with a twist was released on Monday putting fans in a frenzy. This time, Dunne also acknowledged the influence of her SI commitment.
