Olivia Dunne Does The Perfect Splits On The Runway In A Cut-Out Swimsuit

Olivia Dunne heats up the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway!

The LSU gymnast has taken her skills off the gym to the catwalk in a recent SI Swimsuit fashion show.

Dunne took to Instagram and shared three pictures from the special event, which happened Saturday night in Miami, Florida. In the first slide, the 22-year-old athlete flashed her chiseled abs and toned legs in a cropped shirt and bikini combo that turned heads. She rocked a white tee with red sleeves featuring the SI Swimsuit logo. Its thin material bared her bikini top underneath, which boasted a zebra print and red edging.

As for the matching bottoms, the thong style allowed the model to flash her perky buns on the runway, as seen in the second picture.

In the last image, Dunne surprised her fans with the perfect splits while rocking a black and white polka-dot swimsuit featuring halter straps and big cut-outs along her midsection. Red ribbons adorned the one-piece, which popped against the blonde beauty's sun-kissed complexion.

For the show, Dunne left her locks down in loose waves with a center part as she rocked a full-on glam that highlighted her striking features.

With her gymnastics stunt on the runway in mind, Dunne captioned the share: "It all happened in a split second ;)."

The new addition to Dunne's feed quickly became a hit. Within only three hours of posting, the share has racked up more than 140,000 likes and a thousand comments. Fans dropped various messages, including compliments and praises. Several followers opted to express their feelings with a combination of emojis to get their point across.

Freestyle skier Eileen Gu gushed over the pics as she commented, "Literally too good omg."

Meanwhile, model Olivia Ponton told Dunne, "You are just the most gorgeous."

As for Alix Earle, she wrote, "YOURE INSANE."

A fourth person added, "That's Fire Liv. Way 2 Shine."

Dunne landed the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover last month as she ended her collegiate career. She was one of four cover models, along with actress Salma Hayek, gymnast Jordan Chiles, and Canadian model Lauren Chan.

The newly retired gymnast made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2023 in Puerto Rico with photographer Ben Watts, with whom she reunited in Portugal the next year. For 2025, Dunne posed for Watts once again, this time in Bermuda for her third year's appearance for the magazine.

"Olivia Dunne's why goes far beyond the floor and bars—it's about changing the game for athletes everywhere. She was one of the first to leverage the power of name, image, and likeness deals, building a brand that's both financially successful and rooted in showing the real Livvy," said SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day. "She's not just a social media sensation; she's a pioneering force who has created opportunities for herself and, by extension, countless other athletes by demonstrating how to navigate the intersection of sports, business and digital influence."
