Beauty is not always skin-deep! At least LSU sensation Olivia Dunne is throwing major challenges to the well-known proverb lately. She seems to be on a spree to establish that beauty is staying true to one’s original self. Just a few days back, she stunned the internet with her no makeup and no filter images. Now she has showcased that confident self once again.

In her latest social media upload, Olivia ditched her glam image and unveiled her true self, projecting that confidence in an inherent quality that has nothing to do with appearance. Alongside, she also took a little jab at the media as well.

Olivia Dunne goes natural, yet poised

Olivia Dunne stunned the Internet with her natural pictures, with no makeup and fancy attire. The caption reads, “The side, the media does NOT want to see”, the all-around gymnast showed a comparison of what she is and what she has to portray to the world on her official TikTok account, which has more than 7.9 million followers. This very confidence has landed her with a triumph off the mats recently.

Last year, Olivia Dunne started off her rookie season with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. The NCAA’s highest-paid female athlete made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2023. In November last year, Olivia shared the first photos from her rookie shoot for the 2024 SI Swimsuit issue. an excited Dunne had said at that time, “I can’t believe I can call myself a rookie, It’s still a dream come true. I can’t believe I can call myself a rookie. It feels unreal.” However, her bold pictures, in bikinis and sometimes in leotards as well did not sit well all the time.

Handling the social media pressure

Olivia Dunne continues to not change even after the criticism she has received sometimes. She had lately posted a bikini picture on her Instagram as well, for which she had got badly trolled. While a few from the audience addressed her not to debase her sport with such posts, she handled the pressure pretty well.

Though sometimes tired of this mess, she had stated to Klfy.com, “It is hard to wrap my head around at times.” Sadly, she has also received negative comments for posting her pictures in leotards recently. Her confidence did not shake on that occasion as well. “It’s not a girl’s responsibility how a man looks at her or how he acts, especially when you’re doing your sport and that’s your uniform,” she came clear.

But even then she had admitted that being a 20-year-old, it is sometimes difficult to handle all these. However, her latest post comes as a reminder that on her way to becoming a senior, she is evolving while handling adversities like a pro.
