Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2025Dunne embraced her sporty side and perhaps even gave a nod to her professional baseball player boyfriend, Paul Skenes, by wearing a baseball cap backward.
The bright blue cap matched the sky behind Dunne as she posed next to the water. Another photo shared by the athlete on her Instagram Stories showed her posing on the sand.
The official Instagram account for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shared a video of Dunne striking a few poses in a tiny two-piece leopard print bikini. While wearing the look, Dunne sat on the edge of a rock wall beside tall palm trees.

For her previous appearances in the special magazine issue, Dunne posed in front of scenic views in Puerto Rico and Portugal.
