Dior's Kickass Muse Ramla Ali by Dan Beleiu for Dior Vibe January 2021 AOC Fashion

Ramla Ali is a Somali professional boxer, model, author and racial equality activist. Ali is the first Somali boxer in history to compete at the Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, and the first female to become a professional boxer.

Called a “Cartier darling” in her ELLE April 2021 interview, ‘The Last One Standing’, Ramla Ali is now a Dior darling as well, styled by Chloe Grace Press in ‘Dior Vibe’. Photographer Dan Beleiu captures Ali with a set design by Iggy Njoya. / Makeup by Harold James

The boxer met up with Grazia Daily UK’s Shannon Mahanty two weeks ago, where we learned that Ramla Ali founded Sisters Club in 2018, so provide a safe space for women to learn boxing apart from the male gaze. She also works as a UN ambassador.

Initially, she designed the free classes for Muslim women and minorities. As a Muslim woman herself, Ramla, understood the lack of women-only spaces where women could work out regardless of their background, women could work out without their hijabs and unafraid that a male could wander into the premises without notice.
