Olivia Dunne Stunned In Blue Dress At MLB Awards Ceremony
Yesterday at 04:27 PM
Olivia Dunne was dressed to impress at Saturday's MLB Awards in New York City.
Dunne was there to support her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, who won the National League Rookie of the Year Award after a dominant season. Skenes, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, didn't get called up to the big leagues until May, but the delayed start didn't matter. The fireballing righthander dominated from the outset, pitching to an 11-3 record, 1.96 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 23 starts.
"My favorite moment from Paul's rookie season was when he pitched the first time at Wrigley Field," Dunne said last month after the award was announced. "I wasn't there, but I was screaming on my phone, jumping up and down. I was so excited. He did amazing."
Last night, the LSU gymnast and social media superstar turned heads in a navy blue dress.
A standout athlete in her own right, in the fall Dunne called her boyfriend's outstanding season like "watching a unicorn."
"Like, honestly, watching a fairy tale," she said. "The thing that impressed me most was how quickly he went through the minor leagues and went to the big leagues and dominated. It was so admirable."
Dunne also praised the fellow LSU alum for his "mindset" on the mound.
"I try to take that into my gymnastics and I try to get advice from him," Dunne added. "I just think he's so disciplined and I really admire that."
Dunne's college gymnastics career will be coming to an end this winter, but she shows no signs of slowing down away from the mat.
The New Jersey native has been featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue and is a major entrepreneur, in addition to being one of the most recognizable influencer in the world.
We're going to be seeing a lot of her in the coming years, and the same can be said for Skenes. He's already one of the premier pitchers in Major League Baseball.
