“‘Mademoiselle’ is how I all the time desired to be addressed,” says Ramla Ali of the sight of her invitation to the most recent Dior Couture show. Ali, the 33-year-old Somali boxer, was considered one of the VIP guests within the front row at Dior during Paris Couture Week, taking within the show alongside Natalie Portman, Elizabeth Debicki, Rosamund Pike, Alexandra Daddario, Thuso Mbedu and more.

Ali says that having an input on her fashion moments is crucial to her feeling her best.

“I all the time work closely with the Dior Paris team. They understand my style and personality so well,” she says. “Because of this it normally only takes about two minutes to decorate me up and one other 45 minutes of chatting endlessly about other things.”

Her search for the show was a T-shirt style long dress, paired with a mini Lady Dior bag.

“I personally feel most comfortable once I find an intimate reference to the outfit I’m wearing, which I did here,” she says.

As for glam, “I wish to keep as natural as possible with my makeup. It all the time has to suit with the ensemble.”

The Dior show was a possibility for her to spend time within the French city, a spot near her heart. 

“I even have such a powerful and private reference to the town of Paris, having enjoyed my honeymoon here,” she says. “I all the time feel a way of affection and magic within the air. The Dior Haute Couture show only reignites that flame of passion each time for me.”
