Winnie Harlow proves herself a style icon as she wows in black feather cocktail dress for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood After Party

She came up short on America's Next Top Model in 2014, but has recently conquered the fashion world.

And Winnie Harlow proved worthy of the accolades as she stunned at the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood After Party in Cannes on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old supermodel commanded attention in a black feather cocktail dress at the JW Marriott hotel for the Quentin Tarantino film soiree.

Daring to impress, the natural stunner flaunted her fabulous figure as the couture frock boasted a sleeveless design and cut high on her thigh.       

Winnie, real name Chantelle Brown-Young, was discovered by America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks on Instagram and competed on cycle 21 of the show in 2014. 

She went on to finish in sixth place and has since walked on fashion's leading runways.

The Canadian star recently defended herself over comments she made about her time as a contestant on the show and perceived criticism of host Tyra, 45.

'After being on the show no one would book me and no agency would sign me because of the reality TV stigma,' she wrote on Instagram. 'It has nothing to do with being ungrateful, and more over nothing to do with "shade" to Tyra.

'She was the first person of higher status to make me feel like I could be a model and not only am I grateful for that, it's something I'll never forget.'

Back in May 2018,  Harlow was asked about her career, when she said, 'I really started after the show, cause that didn't really do anything for my career.'

'It doesn't do anything for any model's career, realistically,' Harlow added.

Harlow went on to say that a 'major photographer' named Nick Knight found her photos online, and the shoot she did with him went viral and started her career. 

And Tyra responded six months later in December during an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

'Did she say that? I discovered her on Instagram,' Banks said with a smile. 'Well, I discovered her on Instagram, and she's on this show, so what do you think that means?'  

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt bring the golden age of Hollywood back to life. Playing Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth, the actors revisit a simpler time in tinsel town as they transport us back to Los Angeles in 1969.
