Livvy Dunne spent years perfecting routines on a balance beam, but her latest challenge has her trading the gym for the beach and stepping into an entirely new spotlight.

The former LSU gymnast is making her acting debut in Fox's Baywatch reboot, and she gave fans a glimpse of the moment on social media.

"Always a pleasure and honor to wear the red suit," Dunne wrote in an Instagram Story shared alongside a mirror selfie in the iconic uniform.

Dunne's enthusiasm aligns well with the significance of the part she is playing. Dunne takes on the role of Grace, a regular junior lifeguard role, which signifies her first big move from college sports to the film industry after retirement from gymnastics.

Her move to the entertainment industry is coming in the wake of an incredible run at LSU, where Dunne amassed the biggest social media following in college sports history. 

Dunne was also instrumental in helping the Tigers achieve the first-ever NCAA Women's Gymnastics National Championship title in 2024.

It may be because of her visibility and athletic credentials that she got this role on the cast of the new version.

The new 12-episode show will air in January 2027 and will star Hobie Buchannon, played by Stephen Amell, and other actors including Shay Mitchell and Noah Beck; the filming is happening in Venice Beach.

Dunne has reportedly been taking acting classes seriously to prepare for this new chapter, and Baywatch gives her a high-profile platform to prove herself beyond the gymnastics world that made her famous.

That new career chapter hasn't stopped Dunne from keeping up with her usual off-field appearances either, and her latest outing proved just as eye-catching.

Livvy Dunne Turns Heads At Nationals Park

Dunne spent part of her summer at a Washington Nationals game, and she used the outing to showcase not one but two standout looks. 

She first stepped out with friend Allie Enright, and the pair coordinated in matching all-white outfits while watching the game from a stadium suite.

Dunne kept her look simple with a lace-trimmed white camisole paired with high-waisted Levi's shorts, and she pulled her hair back with a claw clip. Enright complemented the moment in a white dress accented with a red tie.

Dunne then shared a second picture from the same outing, this time posing alongside boyfriend Paul Skenes in a much bolder look. 

She wore an all-red two-piece outfit featuring a crop top and miniskirt, while Skenes swapped his usual style for a white pinstripe shirt and charcoal pants.
