Winnie Harlow (born Chantelle Brown-Young) is a Canadian fashion model, spokesperson, and activist. She gained prominence as a contestant on the twenty-first cycle of the U.S. television series "America's Next Top Model" while having a prominent form of the skin condition vitiligo.

She founded the suncare product line Cay Skin.

Her big break came when she was discovered by Tyra Banks on Instagram and was cast as a contestant on the 21st cycle of America's Next Top Model in 2014. Although she did not win the competition, her appearance on the show catapulted her into the spotlight. Winnie Harlow quickly became a prominent figure in the fashion world, walking the runway for major brands like Victoria's Secret, Marc Jacobs, and Tommy Hilfiger. She has also graced the covers of numerous high-profile magazines, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle.

She has been vocal about her experiences with vitiligo and has inspired countless people worldwide to embrace their uniqueness. Winnie has also collaborated with several beauty brands and is a spokesperson for inclusivity in fashion and beauty standards. Beyond modeling, she has made various media appearances and has continued to build a strong presence as a public speaker and role model.

In 2011, Harlow posted a video titled "Vitiligo: A Skin Condition, not a Life Changer" on YouTube. She talked about the condition and answered questions about her life living with vitiligo. In November 2014, Harlow spoke in a TED presentation, recalling her experience with it. She was presented with the 'Role Model' award at the 2015 Portuguese GQ Men of The Year event. She won the 2017 Glamour Awards "Editor's Award."
