Olivia Dunne’s sexy Sports Illustrated photoshoot her hottest look yet: “It’s a dream come true”
Olivia Dunne (Livvy), the new “Golden Girl” of American sport, will be featured in the classic SI Swimsuit Edition, announced Sports Illustrated.
In January, the famous gymnast travelled to Puerto Rico for her first editorial shoot with photographer Ben Watts for the world’s most famous swimming costume magazine.
“It’s a dream come true. Having the opportunity to be in SI Swimsuit was a big dream for me and when it happened, I really couldn’t believe it. I can use my voice to keep fighting for women to be treated fairly,” said Dunne, the highest-paid college gymnast thanks to her endorsement deals with Vuori, American Eagle and Plantfuel.
2I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of,” said the young gymnast, who noted “the way SI Swimsuit has evolved and become such a positive spotlight for women to tell their stories and spread incredible messages of being strong, sexy and beautiful.”
Olivia Dunne shares Paige Spiranac’s tips to avoid harassment
Olivia Dunne (Livvy), who has 4 million followers on Instagram and 7.4 million on TikTok, shared in Sports Illustrated her formula for avoiding social media bullying.
“People are always commenting things they would never say to your face, so part of that is just having developed a thick skin. Social media is hard. That’s something Paige Spiranac helped me with, just keeping certain parts of your life private. Making sure you don’t post things that, you know, maybe you don’t want people’s feedback on,” the 20-year-old gymnast explained.
“There are always people who want to downplay your success and say it’s just how you look or it’s just luck. I don’t pay too much attention to that negativity because it isn’t worth it. If I want girls to hear my message, I need to focus on what I want to say and not waste time getting defensive with people who don’t take the time to understand what I’m doing,” she said emphatically.
