Lately, college love stories are taking over the internet, and Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes are at the top of the list. Their relationship is getting tons of attention, especially after their recent GQ Sports interview. In a reel they shared on Instagram, fans couldn’t get enough of their cute chemistry. They looked amazing together, and the whole vibe was just perfect—until people started noticing something else.
Olivia was wearing a stunning, colorful Versace polo that GQ shared on their Instagram. The polo featured a cool zigzag pattern in shades of blue, yellow, and green, with a light blue collar that gave it a trendy retro vibe. That piece probably costs around $1,350! She paired it with a metallic skirt that had an abstract or floral pattern. Olivia styled her blonde hair straight with a center part, and her makeup was fresh and polished. To top it off, she wore a gold bracelet on her left wrist. She was looking flawless, but not everyone was loving the outfit.
While on one hand, Paul kept it more laid-back with a dark bomber jacket that had a subtle pattern, possibly leather, over a simple black t-shirt. He wore light-colored pants—probably beige to complete the look. His outfit was low-key but stylish, balancing out Olivia Dunne’s more bold fashion choice perfectly. And then the interview began…
During their GQ Sports interview, which tested their love with some fun questions, Paul asked Olivia Dunne, “How do I throw my sinker?” Olivia laughed, replying, “Okay, I have no clue,” and joked, “Is it the sinker when it goes down?” Paul confirmed, “Yeah, that’s the one.” Olivia tried to explain, saying, “Okay, so that’s the sweet spot, if I’m not mistaken,” but Paul quickly shot that down with a “No.” Not backing down, Olivia said, “No? Okay, that’s it.”
Paul clarified, “You don’t sign there,” and Olivia, still trying, responded, “I don’t sign there, okay? Then you take these two, put them over, and then you have your finger right here and throw it like that.” Paul, laughing, gave her half credit, saying, “I’ll give you a half point for that.” And seeing this, fans were loving their cute back-and-forth, but things took a turn when Olivia Dunne’s outfit became the focus. The sweet moment got lost in a sea of outfit critiques, turning the spotlight from their chemistry to the haters.
Olivia Dunne faces backlash over fashion choices
Fans have been vocal, with one commenting, “Hey Livvy, let’s, uh, get you a stylist?” while another chimed in, “Yo, what is she wearing?” and yet another added, “What the hell is she wearing?” Despite these critiques, it’s important to note that Olivia Dunne represents some major brands—Vuori and Nautica—both of which are well-established names in the fashion world.
However, her choice of attire hasn’t always been well-received, especially in gymnastics. During a meeting in Salt Lake City, disruptive fan behavior led to further conversations about Dunne’s outfit. Dunne responded to these critiques, saying, “It’s not a girl’s responsibility how a man looks at her or how he acts, especially when you’re doing your sport and that’s your uniform.”
She’s stood firm on the fact that her uniform and her appearance are not up for others to dictate. Beyond gymnastics, Olivia Dunne’s style has faced its share of scrutiny as well. Her Halloween costume as Daenerys Targaryen received mixed reviews, with some fans criticizing its revealing nature. Similarly, her attire at events like a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue celebration—a sheer dress—also sparked debates.
Yet, Dunne has remained unapologetic, emphasizing that she has the right to wear what makes her feel comfortable. “I can’t help the way I look, and I’m going to post what I feel comfortable with,” she said, adding, “I am just a 20-year-old student. I think people do forget that.”
One more fan commented, “Her stylist should be fired. They give her the worst clothes,” and another added, “This is such a horrid choice; nothing she has on goes with anything. You need a stylist pronto, girl!” While the criticism may sting, it’s worth remembering that you can’t ignore Olivia Dunne at all.
