GQ (Portugal) NOV 2015: Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow has been hot on the scene ever since she got discovered from actively posting her pictures on Instagram. In 2015, she was honored with not just being featured in the GQ Portugal magazine in a beautiful photo spread, but she was designated as the "Role Model of the Year." Overcoming her skin condition and believing in her unique beauty has propelled her into a level of stardom that for many aspiring models is so very hard to achieve. The Canadian beauty with Jamaican ancestry poses elegantly and exudes such an inner confidence that translates so well in photos.

Becoming a successful model is not easy, so we all commend the great success that Winnie Harlow achieved then, now and for a long time into the future. The fashion industry's embrace of such beauty diversity speaks volumes about hope and promise. And, yes ... for you fashion enthusiasts, she is decked down in Christian Dior from the 2015 Fall Collection. Beautifully photographed by Branislav Šimončík and cleverly styled by Jan Králíček.

2019 MET Gala: Winnie Harlow

Victoria's Secret runway model (2018) and America’s Next Top Model finalist (2014), Winnie Harlow, represents the widening of acceptance of non-standard beauty in the fashion world of modeling. Never before has a model with vitiligo, a rare skin disorder, been accepted and catapulted to such high levels of modeling success. She truly represents a shift in the fashion industry; a shift that is beginning to boldly embrace difference as uniqueness of beauty.



I do not normally blog about gossip ... but in this case, since it is dealing with the fashion industry and Victoria's Secret mega-model Tyra Banks, I have got to include video clips from "The Real" who covers the scoop thoroughly.



Winnie Harlow has quite an extensive modeling portfolio after becoming a finalist on Tyra Banks' reality show although she has stated otherwise. Nonethless, she now has celebrity status and recognition in the most elite circles of the fashion world. Her multitude of fans and eager fashion reporters await her to walk down the red carpet at many celebrity events. She has walked down the red carpet at the MET Gala before in 2018 but never in the way that she did for the 2019 event held earlier this year. She was truly a show stopper!



When she stepped out at the MET Gala held in New York earlier this year, she exuded the confidence of a goddess as she strutted down the red carpet with a custom-designed Tommy Hilfiger gown perfectly fitted across her lean physique dripping in exquisite Chopard jewelry. She chose to show her interpretation of the gala's "camp" theme by also showing her Jamaican ancestry with a carnival queen look. Yes, darling, gemstone-clad headpiece and all!







She cleverly wore an outfit to the after-party comprised of a seemingly lingerie-inspired sheer, leopard-print bodysuit with matching corset and sexy thigh-high boots. This look proved to be a very harmonious transition look from gala to after-party. I love the fact that the two outfits seemed to have been considered as offsets of one another. Her stylist, Anna Trevelyan (Instagram :: annatrevelyan), surely deserves a mentioning here because Winnie Harlow stepped out looking top notch and oh, so stylish!
