Olivia Dunne enjoyed the snow in Utah this week as she returned after last year’s fan chaos at an LSU gymnastics meet in Salt Lake City.
On Wednesday, the social media sensation shared a series of photos from her trip to her Instagram story. She wore winter goggles as she posed outside amid snowfall in Park City.
Dunne was also seen wearing a Prada hat with a black top and sweatpants from Vuori Clothing – the first NIL deal she landed in 2021.
“Frozen,” Dunne wrote alongside a selfie she shared with her 4.8 million Instagram followers.
Dunne is back in the Beehive State for the second meet of her senior season at LSU.

The Tigers will compete in the Sprouts Farmer Market Collegiate Quad meet in neighboring West Valley City on Saturday.
Last year, a gang of young male fans showed up to support Dunne despite her being sidelined at their inaugural rally at the University of Utah.
Some fans showed up with signs begging Dunne for a photo and followed social media. Dunne briefly entertained her rowdy supporters by taking a group photo from the sidelines without getting too close to the stands.
After the rally, fans reportedly chanted “We want Livvy” as they waited outside Utah’s campus.
LSU has since increased security by hiring a security guard to accompany the team during meetings.

In 2023, Dunne began taking her classes online after receiving threats from an apparent stalker in Baton Rouge.
“I got scared one time when I got a message about a class I was going to, and I thought, you know what, it’s not worth it,” Dunne told NJ Advanced Media. ‘It was a threat. It seemed like they knew where I was and what class, and I decided it was better to be safe than sorry.”
In 2023, Dunne also became the highest-paid female NCAA athlete, earning $3.5 million through deals with American Eagle Outfitters, Body Armor and Motorola.
She participated in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit photo shoot and was featured in Elle Magazine.
