LSU gymnastics icon Livvy Dunne is no stranger to slaying everything from bars to beam to vault to floor. The NIL icon — and NCAA champ — is so often in the spotlight (and on social media) that she knows she has to switch up her look every once in a while. And lucky for fans, Dunne, 21, never shies away from rocking a new hairdo from the mat to the red carpet.

See Dunne’s best hairstyles over the years below.

Dunne twirled on the 2024 ESPYs red carpet, showing off her cascading blonde locks that tumbled down in soft waves; two face-framing pieces were pulled back into a half-up, half-down look — one of her glamorous go-tos.

Dunne let her ponytail do the talking while the bright yellow ribbons in her hair perfectly complemented her purple leotard — LSU colors!

In July 2024, Dunne pulled her face-framing locks away from her face and into a half-up, half-down style, wearing the rest of her hair long and in loose waves.

Dunne favors two French braids on the crown of her head — the rest tied back in a ponytail — while competing, here at the 2024 NCAA Championships. She often ties her hair back with a color-coordinated bow.

There was not a hair out of place — or even a slight curl — in Dunne’s October 2023 upload, which showcased her stick-straight hair that cascaded all the way down her back. She even showed a hint of her brunette roots.
