Winnie Harlow dazzled in a gold mini dress as she posed next to her lookalike waxwork while attending the unveiling of the figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City on Wednesday.
The Canadian model, 30, appeared mightily impressed with the work as she pulled off a number of fun poses next to her waxwork doppelganger, which was revealed to celebrate World Vitiligo Day.
Winnie is a public spokesperson for Vitiligo, which she was diagnosed with aged four. Vitiligo is a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin, which is caused by a lack of melanin.
Ensuring she dressed to impress for the occasion, Winnie showcased her figure in the sparkling gold dress which featured a plunging neckline and a thigh-skimming hemline.
Boosting her height, Winnie slipped into a pair of towering metallic heels and wore her hair in loose curls similar to her waxwork.
The stunner’s outfit perfectly complemented her waxwork figure’s, which was clad in a barely-there netted gold co-ord and gold heels.

Winnie was certainly in good spirits at the fun unveiling as she was seen sipping on champagne before playfully posing with her identical wax figure.
Later that day, Winnie slipped into another head-turning outfit as she arrived to film the Today Show in New York.
She slipped into a racy tan leather top teamed with a multicoloured asymmetric skirt and gold heels for her latest TV appearance.
The superstar previously confessed she was ‘never supposed to be a model’ due to her Vitiligo.
However, she became the first person with the skin condition to walk the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
In 2023, Winnie recalled working at La Senza and looking at the models, wishing she could do what they were doing, as she reflected on how much she’d achieved.
She told ET Canada: ‘It’s funny to me now that I’ve actually created a lane for myself in this industry that there was never a lane set.
‘People will be like, she’s already a model because of her skin. I’m like, Well, it was actually the opposite. I was never supposed to be a model because of my skin.

The star was certainly having a grand time at the event
Winnie had earlier turned heads as she rocked up to the unveiling
‘I’ve actually fought against that but I’m like oh… you must think my skin is beautiful now, which nobody thought before. So, you know, it’s a double-edged sword, but there’s beauty in it.’
Winnie said she hopes to continue breaking down barriers for other people with the condition who dream of becoming a model.
She said: ‘I think the biggest challenge today would be still breaking down those doors that, God bless, I was able to push down those doors to walk through.
‘But keeping those doors open for others to walk through… making sure that it isn’t just tokenism.
‘Making sure that it isn’t just there’s one face or there’s one person who can. Everyone is able to.’
Meanwhile, Winnie’s appearance at Madame Tussauds comes just a few months after the America’s Next Top Model revealed she is set to walk down the aisle with fiancé Kyle, 29.
The basketball player popped the question on February 13 with a dazzling 8.5-carat, oval-cut diamond ring, which he spent three months designing himself.
He asked Winnie to be his wife while they were on a private plane heading off on holiday in the Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean.

Filling the plane with red roses, balloons, chocolate and champagne, Kyle then read her a poem he had written, before getting down on one knee.
And in an extra special surprise, once on the Caribbean island, their families were waiting for them to celebrate the proposal, with dinner on the beach and a fireworks display.
Winnie gushed to Vogue magazine that the couple were ‘over the moon’ to be engaged, admitting she was caught completely by surprise.
She said: ‘For a split second in my head I thought, “This would be so cute if this was an engagement.
‘But I’m also not the type of person who wants to guess or wants to spoil a surprise. So it just was a fleeting thought in my head.’
The lovebirds first started dating in 2020, with Winnie then moving from New York City to Los Angeles to be with Kyle, who played for the L.A. Lakers at the time.
The athlete has now moved to join the Milwaukee Bucks, with Winnie often spotted at his basketball games cheering him on from courtside seats.
