Olivia Dunne shared pictures of her extravagant Churchill Downs outfit on Friday as she gears up for her first Kentucky Derby.
The gymnastics and social media star - who recently announced the end of her athletic career - took to TikTok to show off her all-pink outfit a day before the big race.
'Your girl’s first derby :,' she captioned the video, which came as the Kentucky Oaks race took place on Friday.
Dunne also shared plenty of content to her Instagram, as she posted several photos to her story of her outfit, which featured a stylish hat and sunglasses.
Dunne later did the honor of reciting the 'rider's up' remarks ahead of the race.
The former LSU gymnast is far from the only big name expected at the Kentucky Derby, as Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are on the list for the event.

Seven-time Olympics gold medalist Simone Biles is expected at the event, as are Tracy Morgan and Machine Gun Kelly.
Dunne, who had long been expected to hang up her leotard once her eligibility with the Tigers ended, revealed last week that her gymnastics career is over after LSU's national title bid ended in defeat.
The TikTok sensation had five seasons with LSU, instead of the traditional four, due to being in Baton Rogue during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Now she will enter the real world with LSU's season over, bringing an end to her 20-year journey in the sport.
After calling it quits, Dunne sat down to look back through some of her career highlights as part of a farewell video put together by the Tigers, which eventually left her in tears as the emotions took their toll.

'Time flies when you're having fun,' Dunne narrates in the video, with 'What Was I Made For?' by Billie Eilish playing in the background. 'Something said when you're enjoying yourself to the point time seems to slip away from you. And that's exactly how the past 20 years in this sport have felt.'
'The highs, the lows, making the USA national team and competing for our country, every risk was worth the reward. Finishing my career over the past five years of the best university in the world has been an incredible journey, and I'm forever grateful.
'Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and shaped be a part of me. You've shaped me into the person I am today, creating memories and sisterhoods that will last a life support. You are my first love.
'To my family, especially my parents. Thank you for everything, for supporting me through it all, and to my childhood coaches from New Jersey and the LSU coaching staff, thank you for pushing me to be great. and yes, time did fly by, and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life.
'Thank you for everything gymnastics. You were so good to me.'
