The NYT went on to describe Dunne as “a petite blonde with a bright smile and a gymnast’s figure, earning a staggering amount by posting to her eight million-strong internet following on Instagram and TikTok, a platform where she intersperses modeling content sponsored by American Eagle Outfitters jeans and Vuori activewear in addition to videos of her lip syncing to popular songs or performing trending dances.”

The story continued, “For Dunne, and many other athletes of her generation, being honest and flirtatious and displaying their bodies in ways that emphasize traditional notions of female beauty on social media are all empowering.”
