BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA: Olivia Paige "Livvy" Dunne, more popularly known as Olivia Dunne, has made her millions of followers very happy after going all hot and sexy for the festive season. The 20-year-old LSU gymnast took to her Instagram to share three pictures of her in a revealing red dress, which she paired with white socks.

In the caption, the beauty proudly called herself “santa’s fav:).” The public share received over 600k likes and numerous comments as a fan said, “I got on my knees begging to the mall Santa to get you for Christmas.” Another fan wrote, “Please be under my tree tomorrow.” A third shared, “Hoping ur under the tree tomorrow😁.” Another stated, “Call me Santa then smh.”

A comment read, “Livvy has outdunne herself this time.” Another added, “Livvy is so fine I wanna see a pic of her w/out any makeup at all. Bet she still a 10 but I’m curious.”

Dunne has recently been in the news for her bold choices. The New York Times published an article in November titled ‘New Endorsements for College Athletes Resurface an Old Concern: Sex Sells'. The piece stated that “to Dunne, and many other athletes of her generation, being candid and flirty and showing off their bodies in ways that emphasize traditional notions of female beauty on social media are all empowering.”

It went on to say, “Women are more than holding their own as earners thanks largely to leveraging their social media popularity. Along with Dunne, other female student athletes have been minted millionaires by the N.I.L. rules, including Haley and Hanna Cavinder, twins who play college basketball at Miami; Sunisa Lee, the Auburn gymnast and Olympic gold medalist at the Tokyo Games; and Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, basketball stars at Connecticut."

“But the new flood of money — and the way many female athletes are attaining it — troubles some who have fought for equitable treatment in women’s sports and say that it rewards traditional feminine desirability over athletic excellence. And while the female athletes I spoke to said they were consciously deciding whether to play up or down their sexuality, some observers say that the market is dictating that choice,” the article added.



 

Stanford women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer also appeared to agree with the NYT’s view as the 69-year-old said, “I guess sometimes we have this swinging pendulum, where we maybe take two steps forward, and then we take a step back. We’re fighting for all the opportunities to compete, to play, to have resources, to have facilities, to have coaches, and all the things that go with Olympic-caliber athletics,” before asserting, “This is a step back.”

But Dunne promptly hit back at the NYT and VanDerveer. In an Instagram Story, she wrote, “Is this too much?” while tagging the publication. For VanDerveer, she reportedly shared a TikTok, saying, “Only taking steps forward.” She also added, “If you don't like me, that's fine, but, you know, watch your mouth.”
