Olivia Dunne steals the show at SI Swimsuit party in New York as college gymnast superstar stuns in see-through dress

COLLEGE gymnast Olivia Dunne has impressed at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit release party in New York City.

The Louisiana State University superstar was dressed to impress and was the star of the show on the red carpet on Thursday night.

Livvy, 20, looked stunning as she arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York.

She wore a low-cut, see-through black dress and looked great as she posed for photos outside the venue.

The LSU star is featured in this year's SI Swimsuit issue.

And she has been enjoying her week in Manhattan for the launch party after landing the honor.

Dunne was pictured Instagram model Olivia Ponton - who was also featured in the SI Swimsuit issue.

She also joined fellow LSU superstar Angel Reese for a photo at the glamorous event.

Basketball star Reese, 21, dressed all in red as she towered over her college teammate Dunne.

NFL icon Rob Gronkowski was also pictured at the event in the heart of New York.

He was supporting his partner Camille Kostek, who was also a SI Swimsuit model this year.

Gronk shared a kiss with his lady in red Camille as the pair entered the venue.

Kostek held a bunch of flowers as she arrived with the former NFL tight end.

Livvy previously said hearing the news that she was chosen as one of the SI swimsuit models was "a dream come true."

She said: "There are a lot of young girls that look up to me and I feel like a lot of young girls also follow Sports Illustrated.

"So, both of our brands align because we both want to inspire the younger generation."

Dunne surged to the top of the list of the highest-earning U.S. female student-athletes after joining LSU's gymnastics team.

The New Jersey native took full advantage of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) - the regulatory body for student athletics in the U.S. - legalizing name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals in 2021.

That move allowed Dunne to become one of the faces of college sports.

Livvy's rise was fueled by her rapidly growing social media presence, with the gymnast boasting over four million followers on Instagram and more than seven million on TikTok.
