LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne is on top of her game as she is currently the most sought-after college gymnast with brands chasing after her for endorsement and validation. She has done well for herself and now reaping what she has sowed over the years. It didn’t happen overnight, it took her years of hard work and consistent training.
In this article, we feature her best bikinis from her SI Swimsuit photoshoot that happened in Puerto Rico.
Olivia Dunne, an LSU gymnast and social media influencer, was featured in the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue. The 20-year-old athlete traveled to Puerto Rico, where she worked with photographer Ben Watts.
Dunne rocked a number of incredible bikinis and strappy one-pieces on the beach, where her photoshoot was themed around the popular Netflix series, Wednesday. The styling featured darker colors, plaid and vintage T-shirts.

Dunne wisely uses her platform to bring attention to women’s college athletics, particularly gymnastics, which she believes doesn’t always receive the credit it’s due.
“As a female athlete, I hope I can bring attention to how amazing college sports are and how hard college athletics are. People don’t see [behind the scenes] every day of my college athletics, and it’s very time consuming,” Dunne previously told SI Swimsuit. “In gymnastics, a lot of people only watch the Olympics every four years, and I feel like I’ve been able to use my platform to bring an audience to college gymnastics, and people are starting to see how amazing all these gymnasts are.”
Since her SI Swimsuit debut, Dunne has launched The Livvy Fund at LSU, a partnership with Bayou Traditions that will help create NIL endorsement deals for female student athletes.
“I really just hope that [The Livvy Fund] is the first of many,” she told us last month. “I really hope to get as many women student athletes on board as I can. I want to continue to elevate women’s sports as a whole because they really deserve the same publicity as the men’s. We do equal work. We put in equal time in our facilities every day and in school. So I feel like it would be right for this to be equal.”
In honor of Dunne’s continued dedication to elevate female athletes at the collegiate level, we’re throwing it back to a few of our favorite pics from her SI Swimsuit feature.
Olivia Dunne did her best in her SI Swimsuit photoshoot in Puerto Rico as her curves and body fit perfectly in the series of swimsuits and bikinis and rocked for the shoot. She was close to perfection.
