Olivia Dunne is celebrating her team's win!
The artistic gymnast took to her Instagram and posted several pictures from her first event of the year, which took place on Friday in Alabama. Dunne, who's popularly known as Livvy on social media, finally competed after being sidelined all season due to an injury.
Stunning As Ever
The 20-year-old added four pictures to a single post and showed her rocking a white and purple bodysuit that accentuated her gorgeous, allover glow. It had long sleeves, highlighting her sculpted arms, and a high neckline. Meanwhile, the tiny rhinestones sparkled under the bright lighting.
Dunne's one-piece proceeded to cinch in at her waist, highlighting her flat midsection and slender frame. Also of note was its daringly high-cut design. The leg openings went past her hips, leaving her sculpted pins in full view for her audience to admire.
For the occasion, the internet sensation tied her blonde locks in a bun with some braids along the top.
Having 'Fun'
One photo saw her doing a handstand on the bars, while another showed the athlete wearing a gold crown placed by her teammate.
"They've always said the bars at Bama were fun," Dunne wrote in the caption.
Fans Praise Livvy Dunne
The update received a lot of attention from Dunne's avid fans as it accumulated plenty of likes since going live on her account. Furthermore, dozens of users took to the comments section to vocalize their admiration for the gymnast.
"Oh iiiii see what u did. Genius really," wrote a follower.
"Queen Olivia strikes again," remarked another admirer.
"You are so pretty holy smokes flabbergasted fr," remarked the third user.
"Livvy, exceptional performance on your return!" noted the fourth commenter.
Getting A High Score
In the event, Dunne scored a 9.825 on bars, helping No. 8 LSU to win over No. 9 Alabama by a score of 197.975-197.925.
Dunne's older sister, Julz, also went on Instagram to celebrate.
"Don't mind the screaming," the proud sibling captioned an Instagram Story video showing a TV screen with her sister competing.
Dunne, who has over 3.7 million followers on Instagram and about 7.2 million on TikTok, made headlines last month when a massive crowd of screaming male fans showed up at the Tigers' season-opener against Utah in Salt Lake City.
The wild scene sparked a police presence at the gymnastics meet, which led to LSU implementing new security measures.
A Rival Threatening Olivia Dunne With A 'Slap'
While plenty of individuals think Dunne is the complete package, her "rival" Breckie Hill thinks otherwise.
The 19-year-old TikTok star, who boasts almost two million followers across TikTok and Instagram, claimed to have beef with Dunne after the gymnast allegedly body-shamed and accused her of being a "dupe" of her.
"I do have beef with her," Hill said in a recent run-in with YouTuber Lofe. "Do you know her? Livvy Dunne? She's a TikToker. She's such a b****. Also, every single person that's, like, met her, has been like, 'Oh, she's so mean in person.'"
"She's like, 'Oh, your body shaming me.' Her and her friends were like, bullying me. They were like, 'Oh yeah, she's a dupe.' Like a Walmart version [of Dunne]," Hill recalled.
Hill was then asked whether she would slap Dunne in person, to which the content creator replied, "Yeah."
Hill's comments about Dunne made headlines over the weekend, but it seemed like the gymnast simply ignored them and celebrated her feat instead.
