Olivia Dunne Spends 'Hawt Day In Louisiana' In Her Red Bikini

Summer may be winding down, but Olivia Dunne is keeping the heat alive!

The 21-year-old Louisiana State University gymnast, who has gained fame both for her athletic prowess and her strong social media presence, shared a sun-soaked update on her Instagram Story for her 5.3 million followers. On Monday, September 16, Dunne posed in a red bikini, soaking in the warm Louisiana sun, just days before the official end of summer on September 22.

In the picture, Dunne looks radiant as she basks in the late summer sunshine. Lying back on a beach chair, the NCAA champion appears at ease, her eyes closed as she enjoys the warmth. Her blonde hair is pulled up, highlighting her adorable freckles and giving her followers a glimpse of her natural beauty. Although the full bikini isn't visible in the selfie-style shot, the thin spaghetti straps of her red bikini top peek out, adding to the vibrant summer vibe of the image.

Dunne accessorized the casual beach look with simple silver hoop earrings and a delicate gold chain while a soft yellow polish adorned her nails, keeping the look fresh and minimalistic. Her caption, written in cherry red font to match her bikini, read, "hawt [hot] day in Louisiana," along with a flaming heart emoji, reflecting both the sizzling temperature and her fiery look. According to local reports, Baton Rouge hit a high of 89 degrees that day, making Dunne's statement no exaggeration.

As one of the most high-profile college athletes in the U.S., Dunne is back at LSU for her fifth and final year. A gymnastics superstar, she helped lead the LSU Tigers to their first NCAA title earlier this year, and now, she's ready to make the most of her last season. In between training sessions and classes, Dunne is still making time to enjoy the little moments, soaking up her "lasts" of college life before graduating.

On September 8, Dunne took to Instagram to share another update, this time from LSU's first home football game of the season. She posted a carousel of images that featured her with teammates Alyona Shchennikova and Chase Brock, all showing their Tiger pride. The gymnast, also a popular TikToker, captioned the post with enthusiasm: "Can I get a geaux [go] tigers?!"

The post, full of school spirit, highlighted Dunne's deep connection to LSU, not just as an athlete but as a member of the tight-knit community. Her fun, lively personality and love for her school always shine through in her social media posts.

On top of her athletic achievements, Dunne has also made waves as one of the top college athletes benefiting from the NCAA's new Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules. She recently attended the premiere of the Amazon Prime series "The Money Game" at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The six-part docuseries, released on September 10, chronicles the lives of LSU athletes, including Dunne, who have capitalized on the new NIL rules to secure major endorsement deals.

Dunne's success off the mat is just as impressive as her achievements in gymnastics.
