Dunne previously posted some glimpses from her beach retreat in Florida on Instagram. The caption of the post read:

"poses I learned from @livvydunne & poses she learned from me"

The caption probably referred to Olivia Dunne's latest photoshoot for the Swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated Magazine, where she featured alongside athletes like Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee. The two sisters had previously attended the Kentucky Derby a couple of weeks ago.

Olivia Dunne is undoubtedly one of the most high-profile student-athletes in current American sports. The 22-year-old gymnast recently revealed her future plans for aspiring student athletes like her.

In her conversation with MJ Day [who is the editor-in-chief of Sports Illustrated], the former LSU Tigers gymnast mentioned that she wanted to educate youngsters to build a business career.

"It’s possible for any young girl to do. I want to provide education on how to get started and how to [put] yourself at the forefront of something that’s still so new,” Olivia Dunne said.

She added what modeling for Sports Illustrated felt like to her, saying:

"I feel like I’m just stepping into a new version of myself. This is the most special thing that’s ever happened to me. I want this [cover image] to capture the audience, and then they flip the page open, and it’s just a badass story inside. I am proud to be a SI [Swimsuit] model. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true. I just hope that other athletes feel inspired and hear my story, and fight for what’s right.”

Olivia Dunne represented the LSU Tigers for the last time at the NCAA Championships in April 2025. Following the elimination of the LSU Tigers from the national semifinals, the gymnast bid farewell to her collegiate career.
