Livvy Dunne is quickly becoming a fashion fixture at the 151st Kentucky Derby. On Saturday, May 3 she wore a black and white polkadot dress that turned heads. The former LSU gymnast and rising social media star posted a TikTok video with the caption “Derby day baby!” giving people a quick glimpse of what she would wear before heading off to Churchill Downs.

The polkadot dress she wore delivered a classic sense of elegance that fits right in line with the longstanding fashion sensibilities you find at the Derby. She finished off the look with a wide hat in that same pattern, adding to the charm of the ensemble. Her soft curls and minimal jewelry let the outfit speak for itself.

Fans flooded the comments with praise for her Derby Day look. “Now this is Derby,” wrote @alissa_elbert, while @kpot82 added, “LOVE this look!” Others called the moment “very classy” and “Derby day energy unmatched.”

Just yesterday her bright pink outfit at the race track caught everyone’s attention not just due to its beauty. It reflected the event’s focus on breast and ovarian cancer awareness. During the Oaks, Dunne helped deliver one of the race’s most well-known moments by giving the traditional Riders Up call, signaling that the race was about to begin.

From the Oaks to Derby Day, Dunne is showing she’s just as much a presence off the gymnastics floor as she was on it. Her polished looks and confident presence are cementing her growing role in fashion and public life.
