Turn heads in a strapless ballgown like Winnie

From the airport to the red carpet, Winnie Harlow stepped out of her Nike sports bra and leggings that she wore during her trip to France and into this Zuhair Murad gown for her arrival at the premiere of Loveless at the Cannes Film Festival.

The floor sweeping frock was a bit dramatic and over-the-top with its full skirt and vivid blue hue - perfect for Cannes!

The strapless number had a deep v-neckline as well showing off Winnie's flawless decolletage and toned arms. Overall the Canadian beauty exuded elegance in a look that was far from boring.

'Initially I didn't believe it but I followed through and ended up being on the show for season 21. After Tyra gave me that opportunity it was my time.'

Having been bullied at school for her vitiligo, Winnie added that she never expected to be the darling of the fashion industry.

The catwalk beauty recently told ELLE Canada she's not a fan of being branded a role model, as people shouldn't want to emulate others.

She said: 'I feel like I am an inspiration. That’s the word I prefer.'
