When Julz Dunne said in The Money Game docuseries that her little sister Olivia had “no character development,” it was half-joke, half-roast—but fully viral. “She didn’t go to public school. I did,” Julz added, with the kind of sibling sass that only years of being the older, allegedly wiser one can justify. To the world, Olivia “Livvy” Dunne is a gymnastics darling, social media mogul, and NIL success story. But to Julz? She’s still the kid sister borrowing her lines—and, as of this week, apparently still swiping her Instagram captions.

Let’s rewind to May 21. The Dunne sisters were courtside at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks vs. Pacers playoff showdown. Julz was first to post, dropping a sleek mirror selfie before heading to the game, looking sharp and ready for the night. Her caption?

“Time to ball out.” Classic. Confident. Very Julz. Enter Livvy. Not long after, the LSU alum shared a glam shot of her own. Her outfit? On point. Her accessory of choice? A striking Balenciaga Blue Leather Nano Classic City Tote. What about Olivia Dunne’s caption?

“Time to ball out.” Same words. Same vibe. Different account. However, it didn’t take long for Julz to catch the not-so-subtle copy-paste moment. And being Julz, she didn’t let it slide. She reposted Livvy’s story on her own Instagram with a biting caption: “Has never had an original thought.” Mic drop.

Olivia Dunne, ever the queen of calm under fire, didn’t respond publicly. Instead, her attention shifted to the court—posting clips and reactions to the game, clearly impressed by the Knicks’ energy and the night’s electric atmosphere. And while Julz might joke about her sister’s alleged lack of “character development,” it’s clear their bond runs deeper than just digital teasing. Still, fans couldn’t help but notice—Olivia might be the face, but Julz is often the voice. At the end of the day, maybe this was just another classic case of little-sister behavior: borrowing clothes, lines, and yes—Instagram captions. And sometimes, the big sister shows the same behavior. Here comes an example.

What’s your perspective on:

Sibling rivalry or just playful banter? Are Julz's jabs at Livvy all in good fun?

Julz copies Olivia Dunne’s fashion statement 

What happens when the little sister is one of the most followed athletes on the planet—and the big sister is taking notes? You get a beachside showdown that’s equal parts glam, sass, and sisterly sabotage. Just a couple of days ago, Olivia Dunne and her older sister Julz were spotted soaking up the sun in Jensen Beach, Florida. While the former LSU gymnast took a well-earned break from her fast-paced influencer life, big sis Julz was quietly studying the Livvy playbook. And then? She flipped the script.

Julz, who’s carved out her own social media following with a perfect blend of humor and hot takes, dropped a series of beachside bombshell photos on Instagram. Clad in a teeny tiny black bikini, she posed like a pro, looking every bit the influencer in her own right. But it was the caption that truly stole the show: “poses I learned from @livvydunne & poses she learned from me.”

Swipe through, and the difference is clear. On one side: the carefully curated, beach-girl poses that Livvy has made famous (hello, golden hour angles and effortless hair flips). On the other? Julz shows Livvy striking a now-iconic move—attempting to drink from two glasses at once. Classy? Maybe not. Hilarious? Absolutely.

 

It’s another chapter in the ever-entertaining Dunne sisters saga, where playful jabs and shared spotlights are the norm. Livvy may be the queen of NCAA NIL deals and viral routines, but Julz is proving she’s not just tagging along—she’s taking notes, making moves, and serving sass with a sun-kissed twist. Because in this beach game, it’s not just about who wore the bikini best. It’s about who captured the moment and got the last laugh. Spoiler alert: Julz might’ve done both.
