Olivia Dunne enjoyed some R&R in Los Cabos after she attended the launch of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 60th anniversary issue last weekend.
The 21-year-old LSU gymnast — who helped the Lady Tigers secure its first NCAA gymnastics title in program history last month — rode horses on the beach in Mexico with her sister, Julz Dunne, over the Memorial Day weekend, as seen in photos she posted to her Instagram.
Dunne showed off her sun-kissed tan in a bikini by activewear brand Vuori Clothing, the first company she signed a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with in June 2021.
She wore the brand’s Dune bikini top and cheeky bottom, which both retail for $68 per piece, in the color Ivy.
“The horse’s name was Friday,” Dunne wrote in her caption on Instagram.
SI Swimsuit rookie Xandra Pohl wrote in the comments, “Insane.”
Dunne’s trip to Mexico came after she attended the launch of the brand’s milestone issue, which featured SI Swimsuit models — including veterans Tyra Banks, Kate Upton and Paige Spiranac.
Dunne was seen in photos with Spiranac and Pohl while they promoted the magazine during a press tour in New York and Florida earlier this month.

Dunne, who’s a senior at LSU, made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in the 2023 issue alongside Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese.
The blonde beauty is splitting her time between LSU, where she’s finishing her senior year, and Pittsburgh after her boyfriend, MLB pitcher Paul Skenes, was called up to the Pirates on May 11.
Dunne, a New Jersey native, celebrated Skenes’ debut on the mound in a 10-9 win against the Cubs.
Skenes, who won an NCAA title with the LSU Tigers in 2023, confirmed his and Dunne’s relationship last August.
The influencer — who has more than 13 million followers across Instagram and TikTok — became a face of the NIL era and earns a reported seven figures.
In June 2021, the NCAA overturned its rules prohibiting athletes from selling their name, image and likenesses — meaning college athletes can now profit off themselves, without sacrificing their sport eligibility.
Dunne signed with WME Sports for representation that August, and then she announced her first exclusive brand partnership in September, with Vuori.
She also has brand deals with EA Sports, Body Armor, Grubhub, Forever 21, American Eagle Outfitters and Bartleby, which is a growing study app, among others.
