Winnie Harlow cements her model status as she flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in skimpy black ʙικιɴι for sizzling beach snaps

Winnie Harlow sent temperatures soaring on Monday, as she stripped to her ʙικιɴι and hit the beach for an eye-popping impromptu pH๏τoshoot.

The Canadian model, 30, took to her Instagram to shares a slew of striking snaps as she posed up a storm in a tiny black two-piece, that showcased her svelte figure.

Her very skimpy swimwear left little to the imagination, exposing her model long legs and chiselled midriff, while barely containing her ample cleavage.

Winnie soaked in the sunshine on a deckchair on the sand, while sipping from a coconut, sweeping her fiery curls into a stylish updo.

Despite her day of relaxation, the stunner ensured she still looked her best, accentuating her perfect pout with a slick of pink lipgloss and sporting a stylish pair of aviator-style glᴀsses.

She also donned two chunky chain necklaces, a silver tennis bracelet and her watch, with her biggest accessory being her giant diamond engagement ring, after longtime boyfriend Kyle Kuzma proposed in February.

While catching several rays, Winnie took the opportunity to top her suncream and promote her own brand, Cay Skin, which she launched in 2022.

She also showed herself reapplying her SPF in the changing rooms, with a sweet video that showed a group of women praising her on her beauty, before recognising her to be the famous model. 

The Victoria’s Secret star was inspired to create the collection after suffering a severe sunburn several years ago while modelling, because the pH๏τographer didn’t want her reapply any sunscreen that would give her skin a blue tint.

She recalled to Allure in 2022: ‘By the second day [of the shoot] I was so burned, doctors had to come [because of] the pain and inflammation. 

‘I didn’t realize how pᴀssionate I was about [sun care] until I had that experience, so I decided to create Cay Skin.’

Winnie added: ‘I wanted to squash that whole narrative that Black people don’t need sunscreen. It’s not true at all. Like, yes we do. No one’s melanin is enough to protect them from the sun’s rays.’

She insisted: ‘Sun care is skin care and Cay Skin is for everyone under the sun.’

Winnie previously confessed she was ‘never supposed to be a model’ due to her Vitiligo, but has gone on to have a huge career in the industry and become the first person with the condition to ever walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway.

Vitiligo is a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin, which is caused by a lack of melanin. 

In 2023, she 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.

‘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.

Her beach day 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.
