After gracing the magazine's pages for two consecutive years, the former LSU gymnast has officially taken center stage. And while her cover shot exudes glamor, the journey behind it tells a tale of grit, hustle, and unexpected twists. Livvy Dunne gives fans inside access to her glamorous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot in must-watch video In a candid behind-the-scenes video shared on social media, Livvy Dunne took fans along for the whirlwind 24-hour shoot in Bermuda. The trip was squeezed in between college meets and class commitments. What made the experience even more remarkable was the physical toll it took. 'It kinda hurt, but it was honestly so worth it,' Dunne admitted, revealing that the entire shoot was done on a fractured kneecap—an injury she hadn't realized was that serious at the time. The 21-year-old gymnast, known not just for her athletic prowess but also for her powerful social media presence, added another surprising detail: she had no idea she was even shooting for the cover. 'I had no idea I was even shooting for a cover, but I was so excited,' she said, describing the moment with genuine surprise and joy. In the brief span of her Bermuda trip, Dunne fit in everything from swimsuit fittings to hair and makeup, while also sharing snippets of her resort stay and meals with her fans. Just hours after wrapping up the shoot, she was back on campus for her Monday meetings—showing the kind of work ethic that often goes unnoticed. One of four women to grace this year's cover—alongside Salma Hayek, Jordan Chiles, and Lauren Chan—Dunne paid tribute to her LSU roots with striking tiger-print swimsuits. Despite the pain and pressure, she delivered effortlessly on camera. Yet, Dunne's journey hasn't been without criticism. 'People like to discredit what I do because of the way I look,' she said in her interview with SI Swimsuit . 'But if you take a deeper dive there's so much more.' She added, 'This was years in the making. It didn't come to me easily, and I think that's a big misconception.' The 2025 Swimsuit Issue Has Arrives | Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Now retired from college gymnastics, Dunne has transitioned into full-time modeling and influencing, with over 5 million Instagram followers.

"Of course, I didn't look like a model, so it never crossed my mind that one day I would be in it. "If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse, but the world has changed, and that's exciting," she adds. Other major figures gracing the SI cover this year include former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles and model Lauren Chan. 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has always been about more than swimsuits and stunning imagery,' MJ Day, the editor in chief of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, said of the Mexican actress's first-ever cover. 'It's about creating a platform to capture moments that define our times, celebrating people who are shaping culture, and showcasing beauty on a world stage.' In 2024, cover stars included Sports Illustrated veterans Kate Upton and Chrissy Teigen as well as journalist Gayle King. The oldest person to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is Martha Stewart, who was 81 years old when she appeared on the cover of the 2023 issue. IOL Lifestyle
