Unique model, Winnie Harlow has seen immeasurable success since bursting out on the scene of America’s Next Top Model in 2014. The Canadian star, 24, looked stunning in a metallic dress and walked like the star she is to the stage to collect a well-deserved award for the Breakthrough Model.
The popular model showed off her style credentials as she stormed the red carpet at the Daily Front Row’s 2018 Fashion Media Awards in New York on Thursday night.
Winnie wore a statuesque frame in the slinky silver dress which flashed snippets of her figure with its extensive side cut-out detailing. Standing tall in a pair of towering heels, Winnie looked sensational as she worked her angles.
HOW DID WINNIE FOUND FAME?
Winnie found fame on America’s Next Top Model in 2014, where she was kicked out in the second week of finals, before returning to a comeback series where she finished 6th.
Since then she has soared to fame in the industry and fronted campaigns for Desigual, Diesel and Swarovski atop a host of magazine covers.
Winnie – who has Vitiligo – discussed the changes in the modelling industry in an interview with ELLE Magazine.
She explained: ‘There is a big shift happening in the fashion industry in terms of beauty standards, and I feel I’m part of that shift.
‘I remember on America’s Next Top Model, Tyra Banks asked me if a photographer told me to cover my skin for a shoot, would I do it? I said no. I don’t care who it is, or who thinks I should. I’m going to stay true to myself.’
She also lashed out at being branded ‘a sufferer’ of pigment disease Vitiligo.
Taking to her Instagram, she wrote: “I’m not a ‘Vitiligo Sufferer” I’m not a ‘Vitiligo model.’ I am Winnie. I am a model. And I happen to have Vitiligo. Stop putting these titles on me or anyone else.’
Congratulations Winnie!
