Livvy Dunne Trades Her ‘Baywatch’ Red Swimsuit for a Thigh-High-Slit Pink Satin Gown at the Victoria’s Secret Show
Every year, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has two stages. One is the runway, where the Angels walk in feathers and sparkle, and the other is the pink carpet, where celebrities try to match the brand’s candy-colored energy. Dressing for the second one takes a specific kind of confidence.
This year’s show took place on Sunday, October 18, at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. It returned to Los Angeles after two years in New York, with Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Ashley Graham and Barbara Palvin among the models and Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, KATSEYE and Megan Moroney among the performers. Guest runway appearances from Natalia Bryant and soccer star Trinity Rodman added to the buzz.
On the carpet, Livvy Dunne arrived in a look that was hard to miss. Her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show outfit was a glossy pink satin gown with a draped neckline and a thigh-high slit, and photos of the dress have gone viral. Fashion outlets said she complemented the pink backdrop perfectly.

The gown had a sleeveless halter silhouette that wraps around the neck, giving the upper body a fluid, liquid-like drape. A daring slit ran up the side of the skirt, exposing her legs as she posed. The color matched the brand’s signature pink, which is exactly the point of the carpet.
She kept the accessories understated. A sparkling bracelet and diamond studs added shine, and strappy, jeweled T-bar heels completed the look. Her blonde hair was worn down in loose waves swept over one shoulder.

Dunne also built anticipation before the carpet. She was photographed in the signature pink Victoria’s Secret robe and pink lingerie, and she shared a sneak peek on TikTok with a caption saying it was show day. The playful teaser fit the style of her online presence, where she regularly mixes behind-the-scenes clips with polished photos.
Sports and entertainment outlets noted that Dunne clearly understood the assignment. She is no stranger to red carpets, having attended events such as the ESPYs and MLB All-Star Weekend with her boyfriend, Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes. The pink carpet was a different kind of stage, and she treated it that way.

Dunne is a former LSU gymnast who was part of the Tigers’ 2024 national championship team. She retired from gymnastics in April 2025 and has since focused on modeling, branding, content creation and acting. In May, she celebrated her 4th appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue since 2023.
Her biggest new project is the FOX reboot of ‘Baywatch,’ where she will play a young lifeguard named Grace. The cast includes Stephen Amell, Jessica Belkin, Hassie Harrison, Shay Mitchell, Brooks Nader, David Chokachi, Thaddeus LaGrone and Noah Beck. The series is set to premiere in January 2027, and Dunne has said she is excited for it to arrive sooner after watching the trailer.

Dunne was one of many familiar faces in the crowd. Other names spotted on the carpet or at the show included Nicole Kidman, Lisa Rinna, Tinashe and Delilah Belle Hamlin. Inside, Kylie Jenner wore the brand’s $50 million Fantasy Bra in a surprise debut.
Compared with that runway spectacle, Dunne’s look was simple, but it showed how effective a single color can be. A pink dress against a pink wall looks effortless, and it caught fans’ attention. For someone whose career now spans sports, modeling and television, it was another reminder of how comfortable she is in front of a camera.
The moment also reflects the way celebrity culture has blurred lines between athletes, influencers and actors. Dunne has built a large following on TikTok, where she shares everything from workout clips to playful videos with Skenes. When she steps onto a carpet, those audiences follow.
With ‘Baywatch’ just a few months away, the next chapter of her career is taking shape. The pink gown was a polished appetizer.
