Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne returns in next year's 60th Annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue — and this time it's the real deal.

The TikTok megastar and gymnast appeared in last year's issue, but the focus was on her accomplishments as a student-athlete at LSU.

"This year, we are featuring Livvy as a well-established, industrious entrepreneur who is here to stay," SI Swimsuit Issue editor-in-chief MJ Day said, "who continues to break barriers, continues to work hard and forge an unforgettable path for herself and future generations of female athletes."

Dunne shot her pictures in Portugal, where she modeled in front of lush foliage and cobblestoned streets.

"Like all the incredible women that represent SI Swimsuit, Livvy stands out in her own unique and critical way," Day continued. "We are so incredibly proud of what she continues to achieve and are so excited to welcome her back not as Livvy Dunne the LSU D1 gymnast, but Livvy Dunne, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie.”

"Last year I said it was a dream come true and nothing’s changed," Dunne told SI of the experience. "It’s still a dream come true. I can’t believe I can call myself a rookie."

Dunne, who has used NIL (name, image and likeness) deals to become the highest-paid collegiate female athlete in the country, kicks off her senior gymnastics season in January when the Tigers welcome Ohio State for a meet in Baton Rouge.

The 60th Annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue will be released in Spring 2024.
