It’s been some four months since Livvy Dunne was one of four models to grace one of the covers for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and the photographer who snapped those photos is offering fans a little behind-the-scenes look.
Famed photographer Ben Watts took to his social media account and shared never-before-seen photos of the 22-year-old model and former LSU gymnastics star. Watts referred to the three-photo carousel post as an “outtakes win.”
Dunne, the girlfriend of MLB star pitcher Paul Skenes, donned a cheetah print bikini with the Bermuda waters serving as her picturesque backdrop. Dunne shows off two more zebra print bikinis in the post.
The photoshoot in Bermuda was for the cover of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She was one of four chosen to grace the cover of the 2025 issue. Dunne joined Hollywood star Salma Hayek, model and activist Lauren Chan, and Olympic medalist Jordan Chiles.

Dunne is no stranger to posing for SI Swimsuit. She hit up Puerto Rico with Watts and did so again last year in Portugal. This photoshoot was a special one for Dunne, which marked her first shoot that would land her on the cover.
“I AM A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIM COVER MODEL!🩵,” Dunne captioned the post, previewing the cover. “Somebody pinch me!”
