This may be the biggest week of Olivia Dunne’s life. The LSU gymnast and social media phenomenon is making her way into American high society.
Not long ago, she was a cult favorite among Gen Z and millennial men on social media. We all know why, and so does she.
But, she’s more than just a pretty face. The All-American uneven bars worker has built an absolute empire on social media. And, whether people want to believe it or not, you need to be more than just good-looking to do that. With over 11 million combined followers between Instagram and TikTok, she’s absolutely massive.
And, it’s made her very rich, as the NCAA now has to let their athletes make money on their name, image, and likeness.

She’s been all over television during the NBA playoffs doing commercials for clothing company Vuori, which is one of Olivia Dunne’s biggest NIL deals.
And, she is in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, which hits newsstands this week, for the first time as well.
This week is launch week for the issue, and she’s been doing the press gambit alongside some of the other models. Earlier on Thursday, she was at the New York Stock Exchange. And, in the evening, she was at the annual SI Swimsuit launch party. A TikTok featuring her and one of her colleagues is absolutely blowing up.
Yes, there’s two of them, but we all know Olivia Dunne stole the show, as she always does.
If you’re curious, the other girl is Olivia Ponton.
