Olivia Dunne’s LSU super senior days are behind her! She’s now out and about in the city, being the internet sensation that she rightly is. And this week, she stopped by at the 151st Kentucky Derby. Needless to say, she stole the show with her carefully curated looks. But more than that, what stood out was the amount of fun she was having. Retirement seems to be looking good on her. How exactly? We’ll tell you!
Livvy may have hung up her gymnastics leo for now, but she showed up at Churchill Downs on both days of the Derby weekend. Friday, she made a red carpet appearance with the whole Dunne clan, with all three, Kat, Julz, and her wearing identical bubblegum pink ruffled outfits. Livvy’s dress was representative of fairy chic bought off O Molly and a bo from Amazon. Pink at the derby is seen as a special tradition, as the color resembles the Oaks’ official flower. But that day was much more adventurous for Livvy than just this.
In a TikTok video uploaded by Olivia Dunne on May 3, she was seen having a gala time at the Derby, as she posed while clinking glasses with her sister and a friend at the event. “No longer a college athlete core,” she wrote, as the video featured multiple ‘cheers moments’ compiled together, with a French Fuze playing at the back.

But wait, the adventure wasn’t over just yet. This was interestingly Livvy’s first derby ever and coincidentally the day when Olivia Dunne went on to give the official ‘rider’s up’ remarks at the Kentucky Oaks. For the 22-year-old gymnastics star, this was a matter of great honor.

In fact, even the next day, Olivia Dunne showed up and laid an impression as she walked down the red carpet once again. This time, she was wearing a black and white polka white dress with a typical derby white hat and a luxury Channel bag. This was the day when the legendary Simone Biles delivered the riders up remark. But amidst all this, one thing was clear. Olivia Dunne is having a great time off the gymnastics mats. But what’s lined up for her in the future now?
