Laila Ali is a well-known name, but the World Boxing Council’s super middleweight women’s boxing champion, typically, doesn’t make headlines because of her fashion sense.

She has graced the cover of Essence and Pregnancy magazines, and was also named as one of People’s Most Beautiful People in 2007.

A new mother and wife, Laila was recently photographed at a charity event held by Holly and Rodney Peete. In a white hot, form-fitting dress with this summer’s popular asymmetrical, one-shoulder trend, she glowed on the red carpet.
