Winnie Harlow, the Canadian model, turned heads at the second annual Vogue World event in London with her dramatic Zuhair Murad velvet dress. The event often referred to as the UK’s version of the Met Gala, saw fashion’s most influential figures gather on the red carpet in their best looks. It was Winnie Harlow that really stood out from the crowd.
The supermodel arrived at the event in a breathtaking Zuhair Murad dress — a plunging black velvet gown featuring a dramatic Elizabethan collar in white, adding an exquisite touch to the overall look. The dress perfectly hugged her slender frame, showcasing her figure flawlessly.
Harlow paired the dress with long black opera-style gloves to elevate the sophistication level of the look. This added a sense of elegance and grandeur to her ensemble. She then adorned herself with jewelry in silver tones to complement the black and white color scheme — a chunky silver bangle adorned her left glove, while a costume ring sparkled on her right hand. The silver droplet statement earrings she wore completed the look, tying everything together in a harmonious manner.

Her makeup artist opted for a warm, smokey-eye look, accentuating her eyes and adding a touch of allure. The focus, however, was on her captivating short hairdo.
Inspired by the hairstyles sported by black women in the 90s, Harlow’s longtime hair stylist, Jordan Jay Brumant, crafted a look that celebrated her natural hair texture. The short hair was expertly styled with a strong tapered shape and waved edges, striking the perfect balance between strength, softness, and opulence.

The strong tapered shape and waved edges gave us the perfect balance of strength, softness, and opulence.”
