Olivia Dunne looks sensational for her first-ever Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover
posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit for the first time after posing in a stunning animal-print bikini.
The former gymnast was recently named as one of four cover stars for SI Swimsuit's 2025 edition after already appearing in two previous issues.
Her first cover with the magazine, which was shot in Bermuda, shows Dunne, 22, posing in tropical conditions while wearing a collection of skimpy bikinis.
The main cover shot shows Dunne kneeling in the water in a zebra-print bikini top and green shorts while staring directly at the camera.
After being told she was going to be on the cover, Dunne told the magazine: 'I can't believe it. Oh my god. That photo is so good. That is crazy, I am a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model.
'This bikini... this was the one. I felt like such a baddie in it. This is the best day of my life. This is so exciting.'
Dunne also gushed over the shoot in Bermuda, adding: 'It was the most beautiful place I have ever been. The whole experience was extraordinary.
'I know it was quick, but every single time we go to these places, and I shoot for these 24 hours, and it's the quickest trip, you guys feel like family, truly. I have the best time, and it's the most fun shoot I've ever done.'
As well as the former LSU gymnast, actress Salma Hayek, Olympian Jordan Chiles and model Lauren Chan also star on their own covers of the 2025 SI Swimsuit issue.
Dunne first gave fans a sneak peak of her Bermuda shoot when she was unveiled as a SI Swimsuit model for the third straight year in March.
In snaps and videos shared on Instagram, Dunne was seen posing on top of a wall in front of some palm trees while wearing a cheetah-print bikini.
Dunne then headed down to the beach to take some more shots in the water, having changed into a zebra-print swimsuit and a backward light-blue baseball cap.
Alongside one of the pictures on her Instagram story Dunne wrote: 'Cheers to year 3.'
In her five years at LSU, Dunne became the most-followed and highest-paid female college athlete with over 13 million combined TikTok and Instagram followers and a NIL (name, image and likeness) valuation of $4.1million.
However, last month her gymnastics career finally came to an end as she bid an emotional farewell to LSU.

Revealed: The gorgeous and underrated European island with hardly any tourists
A new study has revealed the least crowded islands in Europe where tourists won't be fighting for space. And Malta is officially the most crowded of Europe's islands with 38,700 overnight stays per km2. Spain 's islands are next on the list with Lanzarote the most crowded (21,673 overnight stays per km2) and Ibiza and Formentera next (17,183 overnight stays per km2). Tenerife and Gran Canaria also rank among the most crowded island destinations in Europe. But where can tourists escape the crowds? According to the research, from the team at Svalbard is Europe's least crowded island, with just 2.4 tourists to every km2. The archipelago, located between northern Norway and the North Pole, is pretty remote so its lack of crowds isn't a complete surprise. But next on the list is the gorgeous Aland archipelago, an autonomous territory under Finnish sovereignty. It has just 269 overnight stays to every km2. Aland is made up of around 6,500 islands off Finland's southwestern coast and just 60 of those are inhabited. Visit Finland recommends that tourists start their visit to Aland in Mariehamn, dubbed the 'world's smallest metropolis', by local residents. The tourist board explains: 'Mariehamn's wooden houses and green parks provide a great setting for a small-town holiday or a starting point for a tour of the Aland islands.' The archipelago's capital, Mariehamn has a Maritime Museum, an art gallery and independent cafes and restaurants. From Mariehamn, tourists can head out on a boat trip to go island hopping through the archipelago. Visit Finland reveals: 'When paddling in the waters between the islands, it's possible to spend an entire day without encountering anyone besides the occasional seal and - if you're lucky - a white-tailed eagle.' To reach the Aland archipelago from the UK, tourists can fly to Helsinki and then catch a ferry to Mariehamn. And while Aland might not be the warmest summer destination, temperatures can reach as high as 25C in July and August. If Finland doesn't appeal, the next quietest island in Europe is Gotland, a gorgeous spot off the coast of Sweden. Chios in Greece is next on the list, with just 353.81 tourists for every km2, far fewer than in popular Mykonos or Santorini. Evia is another quiet choice for those looking to escape the crowds in Greece this year, with 419 tourists for every km2. Meanwhile, Hydra, which is one of the Saronic Islands of Greece, is another place that's j ust as beautiful as Santorini - but much less crowded.

Amy Childs flies out for Towie filming after weight loss backlash and revealing wedding is cancelled this year
AMY Childs was seen preparing to jet away for TOWIE filming after backlash over her weight and her postponed wedding. The ITVBe work trip comes amid a tough time for the TV star, who recently revealed her nuptials with fiance Billy Delbosq have been scrapped for now. 6 6 6 Mum of four Amy, 34, who first postponed her specialI Do day following her engagement in 2023, has again pushed back plans due to "last minute changes", it has been claimed. Now she had been forced to put her personal drama and weight loss confessions to one side to graft for the reality series. She was seen donning a lemon shirt and shorts co-ord as she arrived at the airport ready to jet to Portugal to film her new scenes. TOWIE stalwart Amy pushed her youngest daughter Millie in a pram while Billy was in charge of the stroller occupied by his little son of the same name. They looked serious after the rough news of their postponed marriage was made public, with Amy covering her eyes with a huge pair of sunglasses. Yet she certainly looked the part for filming, sporting a glowing tan and fresh wavy blow dry. I DON-N'T Sources told Closer Magazine: "Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted. "There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day, but they've had to make some last-minute changes based on what's going on in their lives." Amy, 34, shares two of her four children with Billy, 42, who she first met in 2000. She referred to him as her "Prince Charming" after they set eyes on each other during lockdown. Amy Childs sparks concern after sharing snaps of construction work on new pool at home as fans issue stark warning In 2023, the pair welcomed twins, Amelia and Billy, into the world after a "long and exhausting" labour - yet their marriage plans have taken a back seat. Despite going wedding dress shopping, Amy has repeatedly delayed her big day. CHANGING SHAPE Fresh issues were sparked after fans noticed her drastic weight loss. Amy recently came under fire after showing off her significant body overhaul and admitting she had lost two stone. Who is Amy Childs? Amy Childs was born June 7, 1990, and is a reality star, model, businesswoman and fashion designer. She shot to fame in 2010 by appearing in ITV2's reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex. She became known for her ditsy, likeable personality and briefly dated fellow cast member Kirk Norcoss. A particularly memorable scene involved her "vajazzling" Sam Faiers in a barbie pink-coloured salon. She left the show in 2011 and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing fourth. She also took part in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, It's All About Amy on Channel 5. Two years later she competed in Channel 4's daredevil show The Jump and was the second person to be eliminated. She is now said to be worth around £5million through her fashion and beauty products. The busy working mum then admitted she "can't stop being sick" just days after the weight loss backlash. Yet in a bid to put rumours of "fat jabs" to bed, Amy has finally opened up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone. Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors. 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. 'She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack. 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. 'There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress." Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections." 6 6 6

The cute image showed the social media star cradling little Palma, with the caption: 'P's first holibobs.'

She styled her long dark tresses loose in waves and shielded from the sun under a wove black western style hat. The stunner accessorised with a pair of chunky gold earrings and wore a pair of Fendi sunglasses. Natalya was seen posing up a storm on the side of the luxury boat with the picturesque Dubai skyline in the background. Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts. It's believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot. Michelle married Mark in May 2015 and the couple live together in a £3.5 million Essex mansion they built from scratch. Chatting with his best friend and fellow dad Olly Murs on his Heart Breakfast show, TOWIE star Mark recalled the moment he first held his newborn daughter in his arms. Mark fought back emotions as he said: 'Mate, it's actually hard to put into words. 'It's the biggest achievement of my life it's all I think about but obviously, hats go off to my wife she is an absolute superhuman, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.' Sharing his appreciation for Michelle, he added: 'It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through. 'It's the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.' Recalling the first moment he held Palma, he continued: 'That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.' Mark added: 'I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. 'It's a very special feeling. I can't really put it into words. We've waited a little bit of time, we've chased our dreams and our careers and now we're here. We've got a baby.' Before Cannes, Michelle showed her support for high street brands as she hit her local town on Wednesday to stock up on some family essentials. The new mum, who welcomed baby daughter Palma in March, teamed a pinstripe blue shirt with a pair of cream drawstring trousers and sandals. Michelle was joined by her mum Jacqueline as they stocked up at the Essex branch of Marks & Spencer before stopping by Boots. The actress juggled two huge bags as she had a low-key stroll around town, going unnoticed by fellow shoppers. It's no wonder Michelle is a fan of M&S, seeing as her husband Mark Wright is a brand ambassador for the British institution, which is still dealing with the aftermath of a massive cyber-attack.
