Livvy Dunne got pretty in pink while attending the 2025 Kentucky Derby.

The newly-retired LSU gymnast made an appearance at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, where she appeared in a pink flowy dress to bring attention to the Oaks day for cancer awareness, accessorizing her look with a bright pink flower headband and a watch. On her feet were a pair of matching pink strappy sandals that featured two slender straps on the toe box and mid-foot. The shoes were designed in an open-back style, and completed by a chunky block heel that measured between 3-to-4 inches in height.

Dunne also captured her outfit on her social media accounts, where she posted a video captioned with “Your girl’s first derby :)” to her Instagram story and TikTok. Her pink outfit of choice is a tradition at Churchill Downs, as it pays homage to the racecourse’s commitment to raising funds and awareness towards breast and ovarian cancer.
