Olivia Dunne is ending 2025 with a look back on her year in photos—though, they’re definitely not some of her favorite ones.

There’s no doubt that the model and content creator had a busy year, as she officially retired from gymnastics back in April after graduating from Louisiana State University in December 2024. And with such an exciting 2025 behind her, there are certainly plenty of moments she can look back on with pride and smile.

However, as she revealed in a new TikTok, there are also plenty of moments she can look back on and poke fun at herself.

Getting candid about candid snapshots

In honor of the impending new year, Dunne posted a video to her account Sunday night where she reexamined what she described as her “worst paparazzi moments of 2025.” Diving right in at number five, the model joked about “the floppy hat incident,” wherein she was photographed in a green poolside look while wearing a straw hat, which caught the wind at a humorous angle. Then, at number four, Dunne shared an airport photo where she worried she looked “so mean,” saying, “I swear I’m a nice person.”

Number three featured another airport shot of Dunne, this time featuring her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, for which she noted that the ranking was “more about the backstory” of the photo. She explained that they were going on vacation, but a “videographer would not stop following Paul around with a camera, asking him about trades and baseball and stuff, and I felt bad and was trying to console him.”

Number two featured another Skenes cameo, with the cute couple sitting poolside. Only one issue: the shot was snapped as Dunne was in the middle of snacking on a tuna poke bowl. “Paul looks cute, but why would someone do me like this, please?!” The model joked.

And last but not least, number one was Dunne’s now-viral moment at Skenes’s game when she was photographed with her arms above her head, revealing stains on her long-sleeve gray shirt. As she showed the photo, she screamed in horror before the clip abruptly ended.

Turning lemons into lemonade

This isn’t the first time Dunne has poked fun at herself—and, even more specifically, at that infamous viral moment. After the snapshot of Skenes’s game went viral, the model even partnered with Secret for a deodorant ad, turning her metaphorical lemons into lemonade.

“So, turns out your girl has stress sweat, and she found out the hard way,” Dunne joked in the ad while referencing the snapshot. “I know. It’s crazy. Girls sweat, too! So now I can cheer and get excited without worrying about the replay. Secret Clinical works. I’m obsessed and would 10 out of 10 recommend it to my past self.”

With a strong (and sometimes stressful) 2025 behind her, it'll be fun for fans to see how Dunne continues to poke fun at herself while staying on top of her game in 2026.
