Livvy Dunne stuns in pink as she kicks off Kentucky Derby Weekend
Livvy Dunne was pink as she started hosting her event over the weekend.
Gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne embraced classic Derby glamour as she kicked off Kentucky Derby weekend on Friday, May 2, with a striking appearance at Club SI at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Oaks.
A Derby Look Drenched in Pink
The 22-year-old LSU graduate and two-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star turned heads in a light pink mini dress that perfectly captured the event’s sophisticated spirit. The feminine piece featured:
- Ruffled shoulder straps
- A plunging V-neckline
- Cutouts along the midsection and back
To complete the look, Dunne sported an asymmetric disc fascinator in matching pink—an essential accessory for any true Derby guest.

Coordinated Accessories and Elegant Details
Dunne complemented her outfit with pink platform sandals adorned with dainty bows and carried a straw handbag with wooden handles and pink sequin detailing.
She opted for silver jewelry, including:
- Dazzling hoop earrings
- A silver wristwatch
- A silver bracelet
Her signature blonde hair was styled in a soft low ponytail, with face-framing strands giving her look an effortless finish.
A Bittersweet Milestone
Dunne also took to Instagram Stories, reposting a photo with friends—many also dressed in pink—enjoying the Louisiana Suite at Churchill Downs. The outing comes shortly after her emotional retirement from collegiate gymnastics, which she announced on April 17.
On April 21, she shared a heartfelt Instagram video tribute to her journey, celebrating the years of hard work and dedication that shaped her career.
As she steps into a new chapter post-LSU, Dunne continues to bring her signature blend of athleticism, style, and star power wherever she goes—starting with Derby weekend.
