Olivia Dunne looks unrecognizable in a stunning new set of photos for a magazine shoot as she revealed the most frustrating thing about being a social media star and gymnast.

The LSU student and social media influencer was tapped for an interview with Flaunt, a fashion and culture magazine.

Dunne, 22, can be seen in a variety of outfits from Nautica, Louis Vuitton and even vintage Jean Paul Gaultier, among others.

It’s the latest magazine cover Dunne has graced, having appeared in the pages of Sports Illustrated several times since his meteoric rise began.

Dunne has over 12 million followers on her social media channels and has a reported NIL valuation of $4 million.

But despite her phenomenal success so far, Dunne revealed that the hardest thing about her career is that fans don’t recognize her talent as a gymnast.

She said: “Sometimes it’s frustrating.

“The worst thing is that people think that gymnastics is easy when it is not. The job is to make it look nice and easy. You’re not doing it right if you find it difficult.

“The social media aspect: I worked really hard to get to where I am in building my personal brand, and it didn’t happen in the blink of an eye. It didn’t happen in just one year. It didn’t happen for a viral moment.

“It happened over years of knowing my audience, learning the algorithms and growing my brand to be what it is today. That’s why people are so fascinated with what I’m doing.”

Dunne is back on campus in Baton Rouge as she continues to prepare for her fifth and final season with the LSU Tigers gymnastics team.

His final campaign follows his efforts to win the NCAA title at the end of his senior year. The 2023-24 team captured the university’s first national gymnastics title after a dominant regular season.

Dunne, who is dating MLB pitcher Paul Skenes, recently starred in the six-part Amazon Prime documentary series “The Money Game – LSU” featuring some of the college’s top athletes last season.

Outside of gymnastics and the campus grounds, Dunne continues to find success as an influencer and brand ambassador.

He recently headlined Nautica’s fall 2024 campaign with Mizzou football star Luther Burden III before returning to their respective schools.
