It was Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans and popular LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne had the chance to experience the weekend in style while riding in the Endymion parade on Saturday night.

Dunne served as the Grand Marshal in the Krewe of Endymion parade, which runs right through the heart of the Crescent City.

According to TMZ, Dunne described the experience as “one of the most fun nights of my life!”

You can view her tossing beads out to hordes of onlookers taking in the parade festivities below. Dunne was wearing a sleek green dress with a flowery green shawl.

Dunne’s caption for her Instagram post also raised some eyebrows. She titled the post “Earned my beads!” which, in modern New Orleans parlance, can have multiple definitions.

Not to worry, Livvy Dunne clarified that everything she did that night was PG, adding, “Grandma if u see this I’m joking.”

Livvy Dunne promotes new Vuori collection

As part of her longstanding NIL deal with Vuori, Livvy Dunne is helping promote the company’s newest line of activewear. The LSU gymnast posted last week about the new BlissBlend Form collection on Instagram.

Vuori was one of Dunne’s first NIL deals, coming together shortly after the NCAA released its guidance in 2021. She announced the partnership in September 2021 and has appeared in multiple commercials since joining forces with the company. Dunne has a $4.1 million On3 NIL Valuation.

Vuori announced its BlissBlend Form fabric this week in five colorways. The collection is, “designed to provide strategic support while maintaining comfort, with a specialized fit that lifts and holds in all the right places,” according to the company’s announcement.

Dunne is one of the pioneers in the NIL space, securing deals with notable brands such as Jake Paul’s W, Nautica and SI Swimsuit. She also secured a landmark, multi-million dollar deal with Passes in May 2024.
