Since high school, professional golfer Muni He has been obsessed with one particular dress — a piece from Roberto Cavalli’s 2003 Spring/Summer collection. Inspired by the Chinese qipao, it traded the traditional long silhouette for a short, flirty ruffle and a burst of golden color adorned with floral patterns.
Finding Her Fashion Treasure
Muni searched for the dress for years, fascinated by early-2000s aesthetics she barely lived through. During an LPGA Tour stop in Boston, a rain delay gave her time to negotiate and finally buy it online. “I purchased it at 7:30 a.m. while waiting for my group,” she laughed. “Then I went out and shot five-under!”
When it arrived, her mom sent photos immediately. Despite her worry it wouldn’t fit, the vintage piece hugged perfectly. She later photographed it with Zantz Han, sharing the shots with her 1.2 million Instagram followers, who loved every detail.
Fashion in Her Blood
Her mother’s love for Sex and the City and her sister’s fashion-design studies shaped Muni’s taste. She adores late-1990s and early-2000s Prada — clean lines, sporty chic, and subtle nods to Asian culture. “That era really defines my vibe,” she said.
From the Fairway to Vogue
Modeling for Calvin Klein and Champion China, Muni built a reputation for effortless style. So her Vogue Hong Kong feature felt inevitable — shot in London with stylist Foxla Chiu, it showcased her elegant confidence. “It’s an honor to appear in Vogue,” she said. “The whole shoot felt magical.”
Where Sport Meets Style
Like Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko, Muni bridges fashion and sport. She believes this growing crossover benefits women’s golf: “The line between athletes and Vogue stars is fading,” she said. “Fashion and sports finally speak the same language.”
