The 22-year-old former LSU gymnast, who recently turned up the heat with her workout selfies, made her Derby debut on Kentucky Oaks Day, rocking a ruffled, bubblegum-pink number complete with a matching hat and matching heels. The look was pure Southern Belle meets Barbiecore, and fans couldn’t get enough.

Dunne, who recently retired from gymnastics, has been embracing her new chapter as a full-time influencer and as the girlfriend of MLB phenom Paul Skenes. The couple, who met at LSU, have been dating since 2023 and are quickly becoming Gen Z’s favorite sports power couple.

Despite their hectic schedules, the couple makes time for each other. Dunne recently shared how Skenes supported her after a season-ending knee injury, sending her favorite comfort foods and flowers while she recovered.

“He DoorDashed me Starbucks and flowers and Raising Cane’s,” she told People.

“Her Cane’s order? “A 3 Finger Combo with an extra Cane’s sauce and an unsweetened tea,” Dunne revealed.

While Livvy was dazzling in Derby pink, Skenes was back on the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates, continuing to build on his breakout MLB career. The 22-year-old pitcher has been a bright spot for the Pirates, boasting a 3-3 record with a 2.74 ERA and 41 strikeouts so far this season. Though he took a few lumps in a recent outing against the Cubs, Skenes remains one of baseball’s most exciting young arms.
