Fashion Model and Activist, Winnie Harlow, Makes Wax Figure Debut at Madame Tussauds New York — Revealed on World Vitiligo Day

Trailblazing supermodel, entrepreneur, and advocate Winnie Harlow has officially been immortalized in wax — and her stunning figure is now turning heads at Madame Tussauds New York.

The reveal marks a major milestone in Winnie’s remarkable career. Known for breaking barriers on the runway and in the beauty industry as the founder of Cay Skin, Winnie’s figure was revealed in perfect timing with World Vitiligo Day— a powerful tribute to her mission of raising awareness and promoting acceptance for the skin condition.

Winnie was there for the big reveal, standing proudly beside her wax twin and soaking in the moment. “When anyone comes to see my wax work, I hope they feel seen,” she shared. “I hope they know that if you put your mind to it, the powers that you hold within you can shine.”

This moment is more than monumental — it's historic. Winnie is the first person with vitiligo to collaborate directly with Madame Tussauds on a wax figure. Because vitiligo naturally evolves, the figure captures Winnie’s exact skin pattern at the time of her sitting — a striking, one-of-a-kind snapshot that celebrates her beauty, individuality, and fearless self-expression.

And the fashion? Show-stopping. Her figure is dressed in the dazzling gold sequin gown she wore to the 2023 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — generously donated by Victoria’s Secret. She personally chose the look because of how it highlights her skin. The outfit is finished with gold Louboutin heels and sparkling statement jewelry — including an iced-out chain and earrings — that bring her signature glam to life.
