Olivia Dunne goes for gold! LSU star shows off her stunning ESPYs look ahead of glitzy ceremony in LA
Livvy Dunne has once again caused a stir on social media as she looked stunning in a gold maxi dress while wearing it to the ESPYs in LA on Thursday night.
Just hours before the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, which also hosts the annual Oscars, Dunne gave her 5.3 million followers a sneak peek of her outfit on her Instagram Story.
The 21-year-old gymnast also tagged her makeup artist and hairstylist, who goes by the social media moniker ‘Elia’, as she showed off her blonde hair, which was held up by two gold leaves that served as barrettes.
Before posting about her performance, Dunne shared a recap of her boyfriend Paul Skenes’ 11th start for the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers earlier in the day.
“Slay,” she captioned MLB’s coverage of Skenes’ 11 strikeouts in seven innings without a hit.

Dunne, who has the second-highest Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rating ($3.9 million) among U.S. college athletes, attended last year’s ESPYs in LA.
Earlier this week she rocked a tiny bikini during a photoshoot in the City of Angels.
Dunne also announced she will return to LSU for a fifth season on the Tigers’ gymnastics team, saying on social media that she’s “not Dunne yet.”
The decision sees one of college sports’ most sought-after athletes return to a program that just won its first national championship.
Dunne competed in nine events last season, competing in the uneven bars and floor events, where he twice earned a score of 9.900, most recently in the second round of the NCAA Fayetteville Regional.

She said she wanted to show her versatility in different events.
“I really enjoyed the dynamic of the team this year and everything went well,” said Dunne, who has been selected four times by the Southeastern Conference and has earned All-American honors from the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association.
“Winning the national championship is a great team effort, but I feel like I have more to offer as an individual.”
The Hillsdale, New Jersey native returns to LSU for one final season, joining NCAA all-around champion Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova.
