Livvy Dunne might’ve hung up her LSU leotard, but don’t think for a second she’s stepping out of the spotlight.
The 22-year-old gymnast-turned-social-media-sensation just dropped jaws with her sizzling return to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue—and this time, she brought the jungle with her, as reported by TMZ.

Posing proudly in exotic animal-print swimwear during a sun-drenched shoot in Bermuda, Dunne reminded the world that she’s not just a gymnast—she’s a brand. SI offered a sneak peek at the shoot, and let’s just say, Livvy didn’t hold back.
Gold. Upgraded. Buy real gold from $1. Store it in America. Sell it with one click.
First up, a cheetah-print bikini so tiny it practically growled. Posed on a stone wall like it was a runway, Dunne owned every pixel. Click to watch:

She followed that up with a zebra-striped one-piece that might’ve covered more, but left just as much to the imagination. A backward baby-blue cap completed the look with a pinch of tomboy flair, proving once again she knows exactly how to blend edge with elegance.

The response? Let’s just say Dunne’s fans weren’t the only ones excited. She posted the images on her social media with a triumphant caption: “We’re so back baby!”—and she meant it. Judging by the online reactions, her audience couldn’t agree more.
This isn’t Dunne’s first rodeo with Sports Illustrated. She made her debut in last year’s edition and quickly earned praise from SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day, who hailed her as “a well-established, industrious entrepreneur who is here to stay.”

No argument here. Dunne has parlayed her athletic success into a full-blown media empire, securing major NIL deals and building a fanbase that rivals some mainstream celebs.
With her college gymnastics career officially in the rearview, Dunne is doubling down on her entrepreneurial and modeling pursuits. Her ability to command both a balance beam and a brand deal says plenty about where she’s headed—and spoiler alert, it’s not toward obscurity.
While the left continues to scoff at independent, empowered young women who make their own way without playing victim, Livvy Dunne just keeps collecting wins. She’s not waiting for permission from the woke crowd—she’s blazing her own path, one swimsuit shoot at a time.
Gold is the oldest answer. SoundMoney makes owning it as easy as the apps you already use.
