She gained prominence in 2014 as a contestant on the 21st cycle of the U.S. television series America’s Next Top Model. 

But before being known as top model Winnie, the star was born Chantelle and decided to come up with a nickname for her Facebook profile as a teenager.

Drawing on her love for Winnie the Pooh and Marilyn Monroe, whose inspiration was Jean Harlow, she came up with her now iconic moniker.

But it wasn’t a breeze getting to where she is, with the star telling Women’s Health: ‘My younger self always believed in the power of faith, strength, and perseverance, while learning vulnerability and being authentically myself. 

Adding: ‘I got a lot of nos along the way, but I just pushed through. To achieve my goals with the world watching has been scary at times, but all in all, the ultimate blessing.’

Taking to the cover of the magazine, Winnie only donned a pair of white trainers while going completely naked – showing off her stunning figure. 

Her lengthy locks were left to fall freely in a naturally tousled curl, as they were pushed over to the side in a textured style. 

After once being bullied for her vitiligo, the beauty is now a trailblazer to young people and embraces her body and skin.

While the continued that it took her ‘time’ to accept her body as it is whilst growing up and learning to love her condition.

In 2016, Winnie made history when she became the first model with vitiligo to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. 

Since then, she has dominated the catwalk for a number of fashion houses while gracing glossy magazine covers.
