“From Rookie to Legend”: Kyle Kuzma’s girlfriend Winnie Harlow gushes about ‘full circle’ moment after returning to SI Swimsuit 60th anniversary

Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma’s girlfriend Winnie Harlow featured as one of the legends in the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue on the occasion of their 60th Anniversary. The model took to Instagram to share the ‘full circle’ moment, highlighting her journey from her debut shoot with SI Swimsuit in 2019 to her being featured as a legend in the brand’s special issue.

As an advocate for beauty diversity, Harlow also highlighted her skincare brand ‘Cay Skin,’ which promotes inclusivity with products made for all skin tones, types, and conditions:

“From Rookie to Legend 🤍 thank you @si_swimsuit @mj_day @yutsai88 for such an amazing shoot with incredibly legendary women 🙏🏽🤞🏽 this shoot was such a full circle moment having @cayskin my Sunscreen & Skincare line made for all skin tones types and conditions 🧴☀️🧡

“Back in 2018 I shot as a rookie for Sports Illustrated and got the worst sunburn of my life because no SPF looked good on my skin tone. The beauty industry can always be better when it comes to inclusivity and sometimes you gotta make a space at the table to do so!!! PERIOD @cayskin 🤍”

Winnie Harlow also opened up about being featured as an SI Swimsuit Legend, calling it empowering to be recognized amongst the various other icons featured by the brand.

“It feels empowering as a woman to be recognized alongside so many legendary women who are revered for their talent, intellect, business acumen, philanthropic contributions, and for breaking down boundaries for women in their respective fields,” Harlow said.

“When we were on set the day of the shoot, I was in awe of all the generations of accomplished women who were around me; it filled me with a sense of pride to be working alongside them, but also a sense of motivation to continue to empower the next generation of strong women.”

In a Q&A with SI Swimsuit, when asked about what she’s currently most excited about in her life, Winnie Harlow shared that she’s most excited about her role as a business owner in her skincare brand ‘Cay Skin.’

“Right now, I am most excited about continuing to grow and develop Cay Skin,” Harlow said. “Stepping into my new role as a business owner has challenged and excited me in ways I hadn’t previously experienced as a model and I love encouraging the next generation of young Black female entrepreneurs to follow their business instincts too.”

Winnie Harlow founded the Cay Skin line in March 2022 after she was inspired to come up with the product line following a bad sunburn she suffered during her debut shoot for SI Swimsuit in 2019.
