Lydia Ko is just 27, and she has already reached the zenith of success. Not only has she bagged 22 wins on the LPGA Tour in the past decade, but is also the only female golfer to have bagged Olympic medals of all three colors. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, she won the gold medal and that paved the way for her long-awaited dream. Lydia Ko earned a place in the LPGA Hall of Fame as its 35th member, making history as the youngest player ever to receive the honor.
That same year, she was also awarded the title of Dame in New Zealand in recognition of her contributions to golf. And now, she seems to have once again achieved a new milestone. Iconic fashion magazine Vogue Korea designated March as ‘Vogue Women’s Month’ and launched the ‘Vogue Leaders: 2024 Woman Now’ campaign in 2024. On February 20, 2024, Vogue Korea revealed the full lineup of 24 covers for their March 2024 issue, showcasing remarkable women from the entertainment, arts, and fashion industries.
Featured on the covers were celebrated figures from various generations and fields, including figure skater Kim Yuna, actress Go Hyun Jung, Taeyeon, IVE’s Jang Won Young, and more. The campaign aimed to highlight the accomplishments of women across different fields through content, exhibitions, and discussions. A portion of the proceeds from the campaign was donated to the Korean Women’s Foundation, supporting the discovery and advancement of female talent. The same edition will be returning this year to continue its tribute to women’s contributions.
And guess what? Lydia Ko will be featured in this year’s edition of the $1.1 billion company. A few hours ago, she took to her official Instagram account and shared pictures of her from the shoot. The first one was the sample cover page of the magazine, and the rest were her posing wearing different dresses for the Fashion Magazine. In all excitement, she captioned the thread, “Never did I think that I’d ever be on the cover of a fashion magazine thank you @voguekorea @loropiana for bringing out the ‘model’ in me!”
Well, she is not the only one who has been rocking the fashion world, along with her clubs, Nelly Korda also made it to the field.
