The red and white number featured an unusual cut-out design that teased a look at Winnie’s honed pints underneath, thanks to its daring thigh-high split at the centre.
She paired it with glittering knee-high socks and trainers splashed with paint, while toting a frayed monochrome bag in one hand.

She had been diagnosed with vitiligo around the age of four and has gone on to become a spokesperson for the condition, frequently speaking out about the topic.
Despite her insecurities as a child, the starlet hasn’t let the condition hold her back and is highly considered as one of the most in-demand models of the moment.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, she recalled: ‘Kids called me a cow and mooed at me. I remember sitting by my window wishing upon the stars that my skin condition would go away.
‘Everyone asks me what the turning point was but it was just me making the effort to focus on my opinion on myself. I was like, wait I don’t actually think I’m ugly – I think I’m beautiful. So where did I get this idea I wasn’t? From someone else.’
