Winnie Harlow

  • Supermodel and One of the Most Recognizable Faces in Global Fashion
  • Beauty Entrepreneur: Founder and Creative Director of Cay Skin
  • Recipient of Canada’s Global Citizen Award and Earthshot Prize Presenter

Most people think they understand beauty. Winnie Harlow made a career proving how narrow that definition really is.

A globally recognized supermodel and beauty entrepreneur, Harlow did not just break into fashion. She changed what it looks like. Diagnosed with vitiligo at age four, she turned visibility into power, becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the industry and a defining voice on representation. From her groundbreaking Madame Tussauds figure to global honors like Canada’s Global Citizen Award, her influence moves well beyond the runway.

She is also building what comes next. As the founder of Cay Skin, launched with $4.1 million in funding, Harlow is creating products and a brand that reflect a more inclusive vision of beauty.

On stage, Harlow is sharp, candid, and disarming. She challenges audiences to rethink who sets the standard and why it matters now, leaving them with a clear edge: the brands and leaders who stand out are the ones willing to be seen differently.
