Livvy Dunne always turns it out for LSU — but purple isn’t the only color leo she knows how to rock.

Livvy Dunne is a household name, a straight-up NIL icon, and a collegiate gymnast to the highest degree. (Catch her entering her fifth year at LSU.) Plus, her super sweet (and super athletic) relationship with college-boyfriend-turned-Pittsburgh-Pirates-pitcher Paul Skenes? Whew.

There's no doubt that the 22-year-old NCAA champion is at the top of her game — so what better time to look back at her best leotards over the years as we wait for gymnastics season to heat up?

Peep Dunne's most eye-catching leos below.

Dunne’s warm-up leo was different than nearly every fit we’ve seen her in before. The practice leotard was sleeveless and featured a loose-fitting top with a high neck.

All-black everything — bedazzled with just a hint of diamond rhinestones (and Dunne’s uber-bright smile to match).

Back it Up (January 2021)

The unique Y-strap back makes this LSU leo really stand out.

Black and Pink (March 2020)

We love the duality of the opposing hues, which seem to represent both strength and femininity — a perfect match in women’s gymnastics.

Years before Dunne ever hit the mat for LSU, she rocked a bold purple leo with rhinestone-encrusted floral patterns — and a grape-colored bow to match.
