Dunne sported a sleek, fitted look that captured the essence of fall. She opted for a sleeveless white ribbed top paired with Rum Raisin brown leather pants. The high-waisted trousers, crafted in smooth leather, gave her a chic edge. Paired with pointed-toe suede pumps in a complementary tan, Dunne’s outfit highlighted her ability to balance sporty and sophisticated styles.

Dunne’s Rum Raisin hue is on-trend as seasonless colors, according to Pantone’s Fashion Color Trend Report. There are two variations of browns on the spring 2025 Top 10 list — Bran and the more beige Cocoon — as well as one on the seasonless shades list — the Rum Raisin.

During her SiriusXM appearance, Dunne discussed the series, which explores the evolving world of college sports and the financial opportunities presented by the NCAA’s NIL, or name, image and likeness, policy. The series provides an in-depth look at how athletes, like Dunne, navigate the new landscape where branding, sponsorships and financial decisions now play a significant part in their athletic careers. Dunne, one of the most recognizable athletes in the NIL space, shared insights on how she’s capitalized on her personal brand, while balancing the pressures of being a student-athlete.

Dunne’s choice to wear leather pants reflects one of the biggest trends for fall, as leather continues to dominate runways from brands like Cos and Area‘s fall 2024 collections. From sleek tailored trousers to oversize jackets, leather pieces are no longer reserved for outerwear. The rich, autumnal hues of brown and caramel offer a fresh, warm alternative to classic black leather.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model recently returned as the face of Nautica’s back-to-school fall campaign, which launched last month. Dunne starred alongside University of Missouri Tigers wide receiver Luther Burden 3rd, marking yet another major milestone in her growing portfolio of brand partnerships. Since being named a Nautica brand ambassador in February, Dunne has played a key role in helping the sportswear brand resonate with Gen Z consumers.

In May, Dunne signed a deal with Passes, a content creator platform, further expanding her influence and income streams. This latest collaboration adds to a lineup of high-profile endorsements, which includes deals with activewear brand Vuori and American Eagle.
