Olivia Dunne captured attention during her recent appearance in New York, showcasing swimwear for the fashion brand Nautica. The event, part of a promotional meet-and-greet, was held at Macy’s in Herald Square, marking a significant moment in her partnership with the brand. Earlier this year, a well-known NCAA athlete, Dunne, secured a lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal with Nautica, reportedly worth millions.
Olivia Dunne expressed her affinity for Nautica at the event, noting, “Nautica perfectly aligns with my lifestyle because it values confidence, versatility, and style.” She engaged with fans, signing autographs while donning a figure-hugging blue dress from Nautica’s spring collection, which received enthusiastic approval from attendees. Comments from fans on social media ranged from praises like “Flight attendant vibes” and “Live is a goddess” to endorsements like “Welp, time to buy everything Nautica.”
Beyond her modelling commitments, Dunne is enjoying a busy summer following her contribution to the LSU Tigers’ national championship victory earlier in the year. While she has not confirmed whether she will return for another year at LSU, her presence in the media continues, partly due to her high-profile relationship with MLB star Paul Skenes. Known for regularly attending his games as he plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Dunne and Skenes have become a celebrated couple, often called the “Taylor and Travis of baseball.”
Dunne shared her sentiments about watching Skenes play, telling Bleacher Report, “I get more nervous watching Paul because it’s just different when you’re not doing it and you’re not in control.” She added, “But I am confident in his abilities and kinda channel those nerves into excitement for him.” Their relationship began during their time at LSU, adding another layer to her eventful summer.
