As one of the top influencers today, Olivia Dunne's name commands a considerable amount of clout. Recently, the former LSU gymnast took to Instagram to show off her meeting with the daughter of a leading figure in the fashion industry.

On Tuesday, Dunne met up with Ming Lee Simmons, the daughter of fashion icon Kimora Lee Simmons. Ming Lee, 24, is two years older than Dunne and has carved out a name for herself as an infiuencer since graduating from a specialized program from NYU last year.

Ming Lee grew up in the fashion industry and used those connections to forge a career in the same industry. Ming Lee has modelled for LaQuan Smith, Y/Project, Elie Saab, Marni and others.

Olivia Dunne's rolodex features an impressive list of high-profile names like Simmons. In 2020, the gymnast began posting videos of her routines on TikTok and other social mediums. In the years since, Dunne's popularity has exploded, and she now boasts tens of millions of followers across her various platforms.

For Olivia Dunne, it has been a busy few weeks. Earlier in the spring, the 21-year-old graduated with a degree in Communications from LSU. In the following weeks, Dunne travelled to Mexico, Los Angeles, as well as her hometown in New Jersey.

However, arguably the biggest part of Dunne's year so far was watching her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, make his debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates. A product of LSU himself, Skenes inked a $9.2 million signing bonus with Pittsburgh after he was selected first overall at the 2023 Draft.

Dunne was present at Skenes' last start in Pittsburgh, which saw him fan eight members of the Los Angeles Dodgers while allowing three earned runs in six innings.

Although she is a distinguished gymnast in her own right, Olivia Dunne has admitted that watching her boyfriend Paul Skenes pitch in MLB is even more stressful than competing herself. After the 6-foot-6 ace's last start against the St. Louis Cardinals, Dunne told FOX:

"I get more nervous watching Paul because it’s just different when you’re not doing it, and you’re not in control, but I am confident in his abilities, and I kind of channel those nerves into excitement for him."
