The national champion pulled a step off that only she could do during the show. She tightened down the walkway of a black and white polka dot swimsuit that contained red arches in front and down against her hips. When she reached the end of the time, she fell into a split.
Dunne smiled as she received some applause from the crowd packing the show. As she walked back up the runway, she touched her hips with musician Xandra Pohl. Dunne also wore a bikini in a separate case down the runway. She wore a cropped shirt that read, “Sports Illustrated Bathing Duit.”
Former LSU -Gymnast Olivia Dunne in Tears Over Party Fear: ‘I don’t know what to do’
The former LSU Tigers gymnast was named a sports illustrated swimsuit -covers model last month when she ended her collegial career. She was one of four cover models with Lauren Chan, Salma Hayek and Jordan Chiles.

Dunne was in the limelight in much of her collegial career when she brought with her millions of supporters of social media. As she left college, Dunne boasted more than 8 million followers at Tiktok and another 5.3 million on Instagram. She helped Tigers a national championship in 2024, but her last year with LSU was derailed due to an injury.
But with her fame came some chaotic situations. Her exaggerated fans created a security problem for Tigers at one point during her collegial career.
She also expressed fears that she was being pursued at airports by men searching for her autograph.
“I fear I will be persecuted and I do not know what to do. It has reached the point that every time I go to the airport there is a group of at least 10 middle -aged men waiting for me and they harass me,” she explained in the video with over a million views.
“It’s these men who want my autograph,” she continued.
“They have a stack like 40 pictures of me or my magazines and they will run after me down the TSA-Præ-Check line and shout at me if I don’t give them my autograph. It’s crazy.”
Dunne included a video from her latest trip to the airport, leaving her in tears after she claimed they “circled me on the baggage requirement and were like in my face.”

“It’s something with the airline, and it’s weird,” she speculated before she added, “it’s have to stop because it’s scary for girls. It’s weird.”
Dunne has been seen cheering on his girlfriend, Paul Skenes, as the Pittsburgh Pirates pot continues to create waves in the great leagues.
