Olivia Dunne Stuns On 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover
Olivia Dunne is officially that girl — the LSU gymnast and social media megastar just landed her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover for 2025, and it’s giving main character energy.
The 21-year-old phenom ditched the leotard for a zebra-print bikini and posed like a seasoned pro in Bermuda — yeah, real Baywatch meets NCAA champion vibes.

The shots? Wild. The energy? Off the charts. The cover? Iconic.
Ben Watts was behind the lens, and the whole thing feels like a tropical fever dream we don’t want to wake up from.
“It’s a dream come true,” Livvy told SI Swimsuit. And tbh, we believe her. She’s been grinding hard — on the mat and on socials — and this moment is peak Livvy era.
If you’ve been living under a rock, Dunne’s not just a gymnast — she’s a full-blown NIL queen. One of the highest-paid college athletes ever and now an SI cover girl? That’s boss-level.
She’s been in the Swimsuit Issue two years in a row — Puerto Rico and Portugal — but this is her first time front and center.
She told SI she wants to inspire other young women: “You can be a student, an athlete, a businesswoman — and still rock a bikini on the cover of Sports Illustrated.” 💅
Oh, and she’s not the only big name gracing the issue. Salma Hayek (yes, the Salma), Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, and model Lauren Chan are also 2025 cover girls. (Just Jared and Page Six confirmed it — it’s legit.)

The mag drops May 17, but social media is already going feral over Livvy’s debut. And honestly? Same.
From beam routines to beach bombshell — Dunne just proved she can do it all.
