Martial artist Mia Kang just proved, once again, that fashion and function aren’t mutually exclusive. In her latest Instagram post, the model seamlessly merged sporty and feminine aesthetics in a look that’s equal parts bold, edgy and effortlessly chic.

She donned the Kith Women Aerosol Ridley Tech Long Sleeve in a fresh pistachio green, black and white colorway. The slightly oversized top featured raglan-style sleeves, sheer mesh paneling and an all-over aerosol print, complete with ribbed cuffs and a branded chest logo. Made from otto mesh, the lightweight piece brought an athletic edge while maintaining a soft, breathable fit—perfect for layering or wearing solo.

Kang paired the top with a structured black pleated skirt, pointed-toe black leather knee-high boots and a sleek matching purse. Her long, dark locks were freshly blown out, with face-framing pieces styled into a delicate, flattering side swoop. Silver hoop earrings added a subtle shine, while her glowy glam—neat brows, rosy cheeks, luminous skin, wispy lashes and a glossy berry lip—pulled everything together. She proved yet again that she can go from the ring to the runway without missing a beat.
