Winnie Harlow gave a much-loved performance Saturday night with her NBA star boyfriend Kyle Kuzma at the White House Correspondents Dinner at the DC Hilton Hotel.
The 28-year-old model showed off her impeccable style in a striking orange hooded dress.
The Canadian star, who has skin condition vitiligo, increased her height in a pair of matching heels.
Winnie opted for a glamorous makeup look with a touch of nude lipstick as she styled her raven black locks into a bun.
Meanwhile, Kyle looked good in a black blazer and slacks, paired with a crisp white shirt.

The dinner is an annual fundraising event held by the White House Correspondents’ Association to raise money for journalism grants.
It brings together journalists, politicians and celebrities under one roof for a rare night away from politics where the well-heeled can let loose.
For years, comedians have been making fun of both political leaders and journalists during the Correspondent Dinner. Previous hosts have included Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers.
Every president since Calvin Coolidge had attended the WHCA’s annual dinner, except Trump.
It comes after Winnie recently explained how she and her boyfriend Kyle, 27, are making their relationship a success despite both having busy careers.
The couple has been dating since March 2020.
In a recent interview on the Dhar and Jay Show Podcast, she said, “I am very busy and he is very busy. I think because we both come from that kind of life, it’s a little bit easier, but there are still conflicts, because with his career, there’s a lot more structure.
“So when the NBA schedule comes out, I know where he’ll be for the next year. So it’s more adapting to where I’ll be… there’s no structure.’
Then she added in her best British accent, “When you love someone, you just make it work.”
In a recent interview with Women’s Health Magazine, the star, whose real name is Chantelle Whitney Brown-Young, revealed the inspiration behind the name Winnie.
She also talked about dealing with rejection in the industry and how she managed to storm her way to the top of the industry despite battles.
“I got a lot of reactions along the way, but I just pushed through,” explains the cover girl, who suffers from vitiligo, a skin condition.
She rose to prominence in 2014 as a contestant on the 21st cycle of the American television series America’s Next Top Model.

But before she became known as top model Winnie, the star Chantelle was born and as a teenager she decided to come up with a nickname for her Facebook profile.
Drawing on her love for Winnie the Pooh and Marilyn Monroe, whose inspiration was Jean Harlow, she came up with her now iconic name.
But getting to where she is hasn’t been a breeze, with the star telling Women’s Health, “My younger self always believed in the power of faith, strength and perseverance as I got to know vulnerability and be authentically myself.”
Adding: “I got a lot of nos along the way, but I just persevered. To achieve my goals with the world watching was scary at times, but all in all the ultimate blessing.”
