Social media influencer and swimsuit model Livvy Dunne turned heads on the red carpet at the launch party for the 2026 edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. The event took place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Times Square, where Dunne arrived in a glamorous black mini dress adorned with stone embellishments on the skirt. The former LSU gymnast showcased her toned legs and completed the look with open-toe black heels.
Dunne Poses with Brooks Nader
During the evening, Dunne posed alongside Brooks Nader, who is also featured in the magazine's iconic issue. Nader and Dunne are set to co-star in a reboot of the 1990s classic 'Baywatch' later this year. Dunne also shared a sneak peek of her shoot on Instagram earlier this week, captioning a gallery of photos from Mexico with 'Year 4, still making waves.'
Praise from Fellow Models and Celebrities
The comments section of Dunne's post was flooded with praise from admirers, including many fellow models. Model Xandra Pohl posted 'freaking out,' while Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, praised a brown swimsuit Dunne modeled. SI Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton commented, 'The horses??? Are you kidding me,' and WNBA star Sophia Cunningham wrote 'loveeee' with a heart-eyes emoji. Alix Earle, another swimsuit model romantically linked to Tom Brady, left a comment reading 'Beautyyyyyyy.'
Alix Earle Also Stuns on the Red Carpet
Alix Earle, the model and influencer romantically linked to Tom Brady earlier this year, also made a stunning appearance on the red carpet. The 25-year-old wore a radiant gold, woven, and netted mini dress with fringe accents, accessorized with gold bracelets, rings, and earrings while walking in strappy gold heels.
The SI Swimsuit issue has already been released to the public and is set to be available nationwide on May 26.
