From Gymnastics Glory to Swimwear Icon Livvy Dunne Shines in Sports Illustrated Spotlight

Olivia “Livvy” Dunne has long captivated fans with her talent, grace, and athleticism as a top gymnast at LSU—but in 2025, she’s making headlines for more than just her floor routines. Dunne, 21, has landed the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for the third consecutive year, stunning in a series of bold bikini looks that showcase her natural poise and powerful physique.

Shot on the sun-soaked shores of Bermuda, Dunne’s latest photo spread features striking animal-print bikinis that reflect both her wild spirit and competitive edge. The images capture a young woman at the top of her game—one who’s as comfortable in front of the camera as she is on the balance beam.

“Livvy’s look is everything we love in a modern swimwear icon,” said Catherine Anderson, head designer at UjENA Swimwear. “She’s athletic, confident, and has that vibrant energy that jumps off the page. She would look incredible in any UjENA suit.”

Dunne’s ability to bridge the worlds of elite sports and high fashion has made her one of the most influential figures in women’s athletics today. With millions of followers on social media, she uses her platform to promote body confidence, hard work, and self-expression. Her SI Swimsuit feature isn’t just about style—it’s a statement of empowerment.

Joining her in the 2025 issue is fellow gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles, who made her debut in a stunning Florida beach shoot. Together, Dunne and Chiles are proving that strong, driven athletes can be just as powerful in a bikini as they are in competition.
