Gymnast Olivia Dunne Kneeling In Plunging Bikini Told 'Waist' Edit Unnecessary

Olivia Dunne has sparked criticism over her Sports Illustrated Swim Cover Girl photo. In May, the 22-year-old thrilled her 5 million+ Instagram followers with her third feature with the magazine, but it was first first-ever cover. Showing off her gymnast physique in a teeny bikini as she kneeled from shallow ocean waters in Bermuda, Olivia highlighted her bombshell body while topping up her tan, and fans have been busy picking the photo apart. While the share earned Olivia over 80,000 fan likes, it also attracted accusations of editing, something that one fan felt was totally unnecessary. Some agreed that the photo had been doctored. Others, however, felt that Olivia was showing her natural self.

Scroll for the sull shoot. Going mismatched in a sparkly swimsuit with a figure-flaunting finish, Olivia dazzled in a zebra-print top and glittery green bottoms.

Parting her legs as she was photographed in crystalline blue waters, the LSU graduate lifted one hand to her head, drawing the eye to her cleavage and firm abs while flaunting her womanly hips. Olivia kept her bottoms teeny to best accentuate her famous figure, completing her look with her blonde hair worn down.

Placing her free hand on one thigh, Olivia rocked a discreet nude manicure, in keeping with her natural, sunkissed vibe. Sporting plenty of bronzer over foundation as she highlighted her attractive features, Olivia donned tan and brown eyeshadow and mascara, adding a matte nude lip to coordinate with her manicure.

In a caption, she wrote: "I AM A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIM COVER MODEL!" Olivia added: "Somebody pinch me! Thank you @mj_day for making my dreams come true, and @wattsupphoto for capturing this moment, make sure to get your magazine! ;)"

Quick to critique the photo, one user gained over 200,000 likes for saying: "Some people are just not as good at the retouching part. I can see a dent in your arm where they brought the waist in. Which they didn’t need to do your waist is already small. Gotta love “photographers” who know how to retouch lolol." The comment has gained 19 likes.

Disagreeing, another user said: "Are you serious. It’s a shadow but nice try." Not keen to let the matter rest, the OP responded: "The inside of the left arm is curved. It’s not a shadow. Trace it back up. Editing and photography job is terrible."

Olivia has remained silent on the matter, seemingly not choosing to wade into the comments.

Olivia Dunne might get criticized for her Instagram photos, but she's walking away richer with each one.  In the above photo, she promoted Vuori Clothing while stretching in a tight gym look. Olivia signed with the brand in 2021.
