Livvy Dunne drops to surprise full split while rehearsing for bikini show image

Reigning Sports Illustrated cover star Livvy Dunne was innocently practicing her runway walk for the magazine’s Miami Swim Week runway show when she surprised her friend Xandra, who was also modeling swimwear in the show.

“Five, six, seven, eight,” she counted as Dunne, 22, walked.

Then dropped into a full split.

“AHHHH she absolutely killed this when she showed me,” Xandra, 24, captioned the Sunday, June 1 video. “My jaw was on the floor. The most insane ever.”

The runway show — featuring mostly models from the 2025 issue of the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition — streamed live on YouTube at 9 PM Saturday night, but Xandra hinted that she might published some clips for viewers who missed it: “Stayed tuned for the what it looked like on the live stream.”

The women had been practicing their walks before the show. “POV: you are practicing walking down the runway for sports illustrated,” Xandra wrote over the video.

Also walking in the show were 2025 cover stars Jordan Chiles and Lauren Chan (missing only Salma Hayek), plus models Ellie Thumann, Penny Lane, Ilona Maher, Alix Earle, Jena Sims, Katie Austin, Nicole Williams English, Ali Truwit, Camille Kostek, Achieng Agutu, Jasmine Sanders and Denise Bidot.

Reality TV stars Bethenney Frankel and Stassi Schroeder also hit the runway.
