LSU gymnastics sensation Olivia Dunne continues to wow fans with her scorching Sports Illustrated swimsuit photo shoot. The talented athlete recently treated her fans to an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her photo shoot in Puerto Rico, which took place earlier this year.

Dunne, 20, shared a snapshot on her Instagram account captioned “bts wearing @si_swimsuit.” In the photo, she can be seen wearing a mesmerizing black cut-out one-piece swimsuit from La Reveche as a stylist perfects her hair.

Fans couldn’t help but shower her with praise in the comments section. One fan exclaimed, “Beach Barbie,” while another simply said, “So beautiful.” Her followers were quick to declare her “Model Queen”.

This year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue marked Dunne’s long-awaited debut in the publication. However, bringing the session to life was no easy task for the talented gymnast. As Dunne revealed, “We went to Puerto Rico, it was right around the time my gymnastics season started, and it usually takes six days to shoot, and obviously I can’t take six days off from the start of my season.”

Highest-earning woman in the NCAA

With his trainer’s approval, Dunne managed to secure just one day off and headed for the picturesque destination. “I prayed for good weather, then I did the session and went back to school,” he recounted.

Dunne is not only known for her athletic prowess, she also holds the title of the highest-earning female athlete in the NCAA, with an NIL valuation of an impressive $3.4 million. Recently, she has been actively promoting the latest issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit along the East Coast. The launch event in New York saw her joined by fellow LSU athlete and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Angel Reese. Additionally, Ella Dunne participated in an exciting weekend event for the magazine in South Florida.

Expressing her excitement at being featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Dunne said: “Getting the chance to be in SI Swimsuit was a huge dream for me, and when it happened I couldn’t really believe it.”

Olivia Dunne’s star continues to rise in both the gymnastics and modeling worlds, with fans eagerly anticipating what she will conquer next.
