As Olivia Dunne approaches the final months of her LSU gymnastics career, she continues to captivate audiences both on and off the mat.

The ensemble, which featured sleek designs and a cozy vibe, was paired with a high ponytail and leg warmers, completing the effortless yet fashionable look.
Dunne shared the photo on social media with the caption, "chillaxing in @vuoriclothing blissblend form ."
Dunne's NIL journey has been nothing short of remarkable.
Since the NCAA's 2021 ruling allowing athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness, Dunne has amassed a significant portfolio of brand partnerships, including major deals with American Eagle, BodyArmor, Nautica, and more.
Her NIL valuation has surged to $4.1 million, according to On3.
Despite facing challenges in her final season, including limited competition time due to a deep LSU roster and a knee injury, Dunne has embraced a leadership role on the team.
She missed LSU's recent meet against Kentucky to rest her leg, but remains a motivating force for her teammates.
"Every role on this team is so important, and I can't agree more," she said in a recent interview with ESPN.
"This year has been one of my best years gymnastics-wise, and I am pushing my way to make those lineups."
Dunne's leadership extends beyond the gym, as she mentors younger athletes like freshman Kailin Chio and reigning NCAA all-around champion Haleigh Bryant.
"Honestly, any role that I'm given, I'm so excited to do," she shared, highlighting her commitment to her team's success.
Looking ahead, Dunne is focused on contributing in any way possible for LSU's meets, including the Podium Challenge on February 28. As she wraps up her final collegiate season, Dunne remains dedicated to leveraging her NIL platform to other female athletes.
Through her initiative, "The Livvy Fund," she aims to create opportunities for her LSU teammates to secure their own NIL deals.
With her leadership and growing brand presence, Olivia Dunne's final months with LSU are sure to be filled with exciting moments, both in and outside of the gym.
