Livvy Dunne and Olivia Ponton brought together fashion, social media and sports celebrity culture when they crossed paths at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles.
The influencers posed for a photo at the star-studded event, with Dunne sharing the moment on Instagram and giving fans a closer look at their stylish encounter.
Olivia Dunne sends Victoria’s Secret a clear message with pink dress and runway ready moves
Dunne stole attention on the pink carpet in a pink gown with a dramatic high slit. She offered followers a preview earlier in the day, posting a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her getting ready in a Victoria’s Secret robe and pink lingerie.
Her caption, “Victoria Secret show day,” set the tone for an evening that would put her fashion choices firmly in the spotlight.
Although Dunne didn’t walk the runway, she still made an impression among the guests. Her bold outfit showed the confident style that’s helped her build a large following beyond the gymnastics world.
Ponton, meanwhile, brought her own modeling credentials to the occasion, appearing in a silver dress.
She’s established herself as a social media personality and model, including a previous appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
A glamorous reunion with LSU connections
The photo also drew attention because of the women’s links to two prominent athletes. Dunne is dating Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, while Ponton has been linked to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
Both men played college sports at Louisiana State University, although their time there didn’t overlap. Burrow suited up for LSU in 2018 and 2019, while Skenes joined the Tigers’ baseball team in 2023.
Dunne also has her own LSU legacy. She competed with the university’s gymnastics team from 2021 to 2025, before retiring after sustaining an avulsion fracture.
Since stepping away from competition, she’s continued expanding her career through modeling, brand partnerships and entertainment.
The October 18 fashion show was staged at Sony Pictures Studios in the Los Angeles area and streamed on YouTube.
Music performances from KATSEYE, Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae added to the spectacle, while celebrity appearances helped make the event a major talking point online.
Dunne’s next move will take her into scripted television. She’s set to play Grace, a young lifeguard, in Fox’s upcoming “Baywatch” reboot, joining a cast that includes Stephen Amell and Brooks Nader.
The series is now expected to arrive in January 2027, giving Dunne another platform as she develops her career beyond sports and social media.
