It’s official — Livvy Dunne has landed the Winter 2025 cover of Maxim, and the internet has been going wild. The former NCAA-champion gymnast turned social-media powerhouse dropped the big reveal on her platforms with a stunned face and the cheeky caption: “Somebody pinch me!!!”
The magazine spread is bold, confident and — yes — a little cheeky. Among the standout looks: a bralette top from Chrome Hearts paired with Levi’s denim jeans, and a lace top with high-waisted underwear from SKIMS. It’s a look that transitions Livvy from the gym floor to the glam of a high-fashion cover — and she owns it.
Unsurprisingly, comments flooded in from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Names like Brittany Mahomes and Haley Cavinder chimed in under her post, with heart-eye emojis and fire reactions. “Jaw on the floor,” one admirer quipped.
Meanwhile longtime fans took to Reddit to share their unfiltered admiration (and some lewd commentary). One thread on r/OliviaDunnePictures declared,
“She has to know what she’s doing to us with these pics”
…and others weren’t shy to call her “a pure goddess,” or gush over what they dubbed “perfect everything.”
But it’s not all virtual roses. Some corners of the internet — including among gymnastics-purist communities — have criticized the sexualized presentation of Livvy’s post-sport career. In forums like r/LAinfluencersnark, critics argue the shoot frames her more as an object than a person, calling the creative direction “jarring” and “cheap.”
Love it or loathe it, this Maxim milestone makes it clear: Livvy Dunne is rewriting the playbook. The gymnast-turned-influencer isn’t just resting on past athletic glory — she’s building a brand on her own terms. And for many, that new chapter is just as compelling as the flips and vaults that made her a household name.
