Olivia "Livvy" Dunne made a name for herself as a fierce competitor on the Louisiana State University's gymnastics team, but the online empire she's built from her career was completely unexpected. Thrust into the spotlight, Dunne's style has transitioned from casual athleisure to full-fledged glamour.

Though she certainly turns heads in her bedazzled leotards — and Olivia Dunne is even more stunning without makeup — her everyday outfits have elevated to youthful couture, and we're here for it. Even outside of the world of high fashion, her style opinions are so valued that Olivia Dunne-approved swimsuit styles made a huge splash in 2024. Still, she's had a few ensembles that caused a stir — some for good reason and others, well, not so much.

As a female athlete with a largely male fanbase, she has unfortunately faced more than her share of objectification based on what she wears, and she's had enough. From heckling at her meets to racy comments on her social media and full-fledged safety concerns, Dunne had some words for men's perceptions of women during an Elle interview in July 2023. "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 told the outlet. Amen. With that said, let's explore some of the star's most-talked-about outfits off the mat.

Olivia Dunne got saucy for her Sports Illustrated photoshoot

Olivia Dunne stunned in her first two photoshoots with Sports Illustrated in 2023 and 2024, and since her graduation from LSU in May 2024, she's come back for her third year of posing as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. She featured two of the looks on her Instagram Story, once by creating a collage of behind-the-scenes shots and the other as a selfie. One of the looks featured in the shoot was a racy, zebra-print one-piece bathing suit, with the sides of the suit coming up to her ribs and a tie at the center of her waist. The strapless, sultry piece is an excellent example of how to rock this style of suit perfectly, and the baby-blue corduroy hat she paired with it gives the perfect juxtaposition of Dunne's brand: casual yet sexy chic.

Another of Dunne's looks for Sports Illustrated was even edgier and kept with her animal print theme. She donned a cheetah-print micro-bikini with leather embellishments. Attached to the bottom was a chunky belt with the same pattern. Sports Illustrated posted a video of the look featuring Dunne's signature steamy poses. Why did this cause a stir, you might ask? Well, for starters, she announced her retirement from competitive gymnastics merely a month after the issue was released, and these looks are undoubtedly the edgiest she'd done for Sports Illustrated. Could this mean a style switch-up is underway? Folks everywhere would like to know.

Olivia Dunne turned heads by wearing an LBD to a football game

There's an art to a perfectly curated game-day look, like Erin Andrews' monochromatic game-day outfit that had everyone talking or Taylor Swift's iconic game-day look that had everyone saying the same thing. For Olivia Dunne, watching her team from the sidelines resulted in one of her most viral looks yet.

Dunne traded the purple and gold LSU colors for an all-black ensemble when she attended its home game versus Nicholls State in September 2024. The look featured a black, lace-trimmed camisole tucked into a pleather miniskirt. She showed off her school pride by finishing the look with a pair of tiger-print boots. Dunne looked stunning in her pictures, which garnering over 300,000 likes on Instagram. However, some thought she was misplaced in the stadium. "Why wear a outfit that you wear to a club to a damn sports game smh," one user commented. "Is there a stripper pole on the fifty yard line," another wrote.

Olivia Dunne's Halloween looks always break the internet

Olivia Dunne has become a fierce competitor for the crown of the queen of Halloween, but not everyone agrees with her sartorial taste. For example, in 2022, she went as a fallen angel. Keeping the outfit simple yet effective, she wore a black corset top with her black pleather miniskirt, pairing the look with a pair of thigh-high fishnet stockings and black angel wings. "Welcome to the dark side," Dunne captioned her carousel of photos on Instagram. Though she looked stunning, a few were upset by the biblical references, with one user commenting, "Believe me, you won't be celebrating the 'dark side' once you get there."

Dunne channeled "Game of Thrones" in 2023 with her Daenerys Targaryen look that completely broke the internet, with her Instagram post garnering over 600,000 likes. The costume itself consisted of a skin-bearing sheath dress fashioned together down her midriff, showing off much of her toned figure. Dunne accessorized it with some silver cuffs on her upper arms, and her hair was braided to give an era-appropriate vibe. This was one case where she stirred a positive reaction out of her fans, with many saying that she wore the look better than Khaleesi actor Emilia Clarke.

In 2024, her Wonder Woman costume garnered a comparable amount of engagement. Dunne opted for a red corset top with matching suede thigh-high boots and blue spandex with white stars. To accessorize, Dunne, of course, chose Wonder Woman's signature gold crown and wrist cuffs. "This post saved my day," one user joked in the comments of her post of the look. However, there were some who were upset with her interpretation of the character. "In what universe [is] wonder woman blonde," one commenter wrote.

One of Olivia Dunne's 2025 Kentucky Derby looks was unpolished

We saw a lot of best and worst-dressed celebrities at the 2025 Kentucky Derby, and unfortunately for Olivia Dunne, she might've landed herself as one of the worst. A lot of the commentary surrounding the event includes discourse that influencers were wearing dresses that were a touch too risqué, and Dunne couldn't escape the same claim. She wore two different looks for the event, including a white-and-black polka-dotted minidress, which she paired with an event-appropriate oversized sun hat. Her second look had a deeper meaning, as her pink cutout sundress with floral detailing represented breast cancer awareness. She paired the dress with a corresponding headpiece and accessorized with a dainty handbag and minimal jewelry.

Dunne looked darling in her looks, but viewers had one qualm with her appearance: her tan lines. Granted, she was recently in Bermuda filming for Sports Illustrated, but the tan was jarring enough for viewers to notice and call her out on. Under her Instagram post from the weekend, one user quipped, "She should have done a spray tan !" Another remarked, "Beautiful, but tan lines are not pretty. Cover them."

Olivia Dunne shocked herself with some of her music festival 'fits

During Coachella 2024, Olivia Dunne reviewed her past looks from the festival in a TikTok video. She rated several different looks, but one of her outfits was more jarring to look back on than the others. She reached a picture of her wearing a black bikini covered by a sheer top and skirt embellished with pearls and finished off with a chain headpiece and white cowboy boots. Dunne referred to it as "kind of an outfit, there's literally nothing there." She continued to express how it was fitting for the occasion, but her chances of wearing it again her low. Beyond the look itself, it seemed to bring a bad omen to Dunne's festival-going experience. She detailed how she was both pickpocketed and had the flu before ultimately rating the look a 4 out of 10.

Another of her outfits she didn't approve of was an all-white look with an off-the-shoulder tee paired with matching bikini bottoms and a crocheted miniskirt. "I don't love this outfit. This isn't even an outfit, it's, like, a bikini again," she remarked before also rating it a 4 out of 10. Still, Dunne's fans are loyal a lot of the time, and they came out en masse in the video's comments to let her know that they think all of the outfits are 10s.
