Livvy Dunne is many things.

A former college gymnast. The girlfriend of a top MLB rookie. A social media influencer. A Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model.

And now she's turning heads with her July 4-inspired Instagram post that shows her in a string bikini. Fittingly, it was red and white.

Dunne shared the photos with her more than 5 million Instagram followers. The images show her sitting on a beach and wearing a straw hat. "Red, white, & freckled," she captioned the collage.

Some of the photos showed her sitting on a red and blue towel.

Dunne posted the pictures over the July 4 weekend.

Fans seemed to enjoy the photos. "Cute," wrote one person on her Instagram comment thread.

"Gorgeous," wrote several others.

The photos indicate that the former LSU gymnast was in the Hamptons.

The Hamptons were hopping with events and celebrities over the holiday weekend, according to Page Six. The New York Post noted that Dunne was also in the Hamptons for the holiday last year.

Dunne is dating Pittsburgh Pirates phenom pitcher Paul Skenes, and she has attended some of his games, posting photos from the ballparks on her Instagram page as well.

She frequently posts glamour shots on Instagram, and she's shared bikini pictures and videos before.

Dunne first turned heads as a college gymnast. "I started gymnastics when I was three years old because I wanted a sparkly pink leotard. But, little did I know what an exciting future was ahead of me," her website bio explains.

"In fall of 2019, I signed my National Letter of Intent to attend LSU on a full athletic scholarship for gymnastics," she wrote. "I also began competing Level 10, winning first place in the all-around at The Atlanta Centennial Classic in Georgia, Classic Rock Invitational in Arizona, and Elevate the Stage in Ohio."

She is now retired from the sport.
