The exclusive eBay auction, curated by Winnie Harlow herself, features a mix of vintage luxury fashion and one particularly eye-catching centerpiece— a customized 1993
Porsche 911
Carrera 4 Cabriolet. This rare vehicle and other curated pieces are part of a charity-driven campaign, with all proceeds going to Vitiligo Support International, a cause close to Harlow's heart. Known for using her platform to raise awareness around the skin condition, Harlow said, 'This is a cause near and dear to my heart.'
Speaking about her connection with Lewis Hamilton, who is now driving for Ferrari and recently co-chaired the
2025 Met Gala
, Harlow didn't hesitate to reflect on how their friendship began. 'I think my first race was in Monaco, quite some time ago, maybe seven, eight years ago, and I have been friends with Lewis Hamilton for about that amount of time,' she shared in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. Her bond with Hamilton is rooted in social circles and shared passions. 'I think it's really important to support your friends, and my dad is also a mechanic, so I've always been around cars.'
'I think his strength [is his best quality]. He's been doing this forever, literally, and even if you watch videos of him as a child, he's always had such a passion for the sport,' Harlow said. 'I think his drive — his passion — really sets him apart. He is one of one, honestly.'
In the fashion realm, Hamilton has also carved out a space of his own. As a co-chair of this year's Met Gala, alongside Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Anna Wintour, and honorary chair LeBron James, he has solidified his place as a cultural tastemaker. Harlow, too, brought her own fashion perspective to the eBay auction, working with Brie Welch — eBay's new Resident Stylist, who's dressed names like Katie Holmes. 'I really do love this vintage Moschino vest. And there's this really beautiful Cartier watch. I'm obsessed with these Vetements pants,' she noted.
The auction runs until May 12 and is packed with vintage gems, including Celine wedge boots and a Gucci Jackie bag. But more than just a style drop, the collection symbolizes Harlow's passion for merging purpose, friendship, and personal history.
Winnie Harlow is officially engaged to NBA star Kyle Kuzma in February 2025, and she shared the big news on Instagram with a glowing beachside post. The Canadian model posted a video of her holding up her ring while fireworks lit the sky, writing 'To eternity' alongside the hashtag '#shesaidyes.' The proposal took place in Turks and Caicos, a special location for the couple, who vacationed there for the first time in 2022.

Kuzma, now with the Milwaukee Bucks, went all out to make the moment unforgettable. He surprised Harlow with a private jet filled with roses, balloons, chocolate, and champagne. At first, she thought it was just a sweet Valentine's gesture — until he read her a heartfelt poem and popped the question. Harlow's skincare brand, Cay Skin, also celebrated the news on social media.

Worry mounts for Mets as ace Kodai Senga exits game with apparent hamstring injury against Nationals
Image Source: Getty Caution turned a concerned eye to the way of the New York Mets on Thursday afternoon when ace right-hander Kodai Senga exited his brilliant start against the Washington Nationals with an apparent hamstring injury. Senga had allowed a MLB-best 1.47 earned-run average before leaving, but the incident immediately following the sixth inning of a game that would lead to a 4-3 Mets win. This sweep will forever cast a pall on the otherwise strong outing. Senga will be placed on the injured list, and an MRI is scheduled for Friday to evaluate the strain, manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed following the game. The play that caused concern for Kodai Senga The whole incident took place during the sixth inning of the game. CJ Abrams hit a grounder between first and second, which went off the glove of Mets first baseman Pete Alonso. Senga got up and tagged the bag after receiving Alonso's high throw. Senga seemed to stumble when he landed during the pitch, and he quickly grabbed the back of his right leg somewhere in the vicinity of the hamstring, then he fell to the ground. He was quickly surrounded by trainers, manager Carlos Mendoza, and teammates. As Senga finally exited the field on his power, limping significantly and sending a deep sigh of relief, but extreme concern through the Mets dugout and within Citi Field, some 20 minutes later. Senga's early exit ended a fantastic outing where he had allowed just one hit and one walk through 5 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out five. Impact on the New York Mets' rotation and season If Senga were to miss the latter half of the season, it would deal a serious blow to a Mets rotation that has been one of the best in baseball this year. Senga had been throwing like an actual Cy Young candidate, striking out hitters with his devastating "ghost fork" and elite command, all throughout the 13 starts. Also Read: Mets' David Peterson tosses first career shutout in 5-0 win over Nationals Senga is one of the most consistent players of the team, which also turns out to be the cornerstone, along with power, of the Mets' MLB-best 45-24 record. This injury also raises red flags regarding Senga's health and fitness, as he was sidelined for nearly his entire 2024 regular season after suffering a shoulder capsule strain and a high-grade calf strain.

Diljit Dosanjh Says Shakira Wants Indian Version Of ‘Hips Don't Lie': 'She Invited Me On...'
Last Updated: Diljit Dosanjh says Shakira invited him on her tour after their Met Gala 2025 car ride. Talks about a possible Indian version of 'Hips Don't Lie'. Punjabi music superstar Diljit Dosanjh continues to break cultural boundaries with his unique blend of global flair and desi roots. After making headlines for his grand debut at the Met Gala 2025, where he was spotted sharing a ride with Latin pop icon Shakira and global sensation Nicole Scherzinger, Diljit has now opened up about that much-discussed moment—and dropped an exciting hint about a potential Indo-Latin collaboration. The revelation came during the inaugural Billboard Summit Canada at NXNE in Toronto's TIFF Lightbox on June 11, 2025, where Diljit was invited as a special guest for a one-on-one conversation with Panos A Panay, President of the Recording Academy—the organization behind the Grammy Awards. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TEAM DOSANJH (@teamdiljitglobal) With his trademark charm, Diljit laughed and replied, 'Hips don't lie, sir," sending the audience into delighted applause. But what followed wasn't just a joke—it was a musical scoop. 'Actually, it was Shakira who invited me on her tour. She said, 'We should do an Indian version of Hips Don't Lie. It's going to be tricky, but I'm in,'" Diljit revealed. This playful and unexpected revelation adds another layer to the already viral moment from earlier this year, where Diljit, Shakira, and Nicole were seen riding together in a luxurious car en route to the Met Gala. The clip, captioned 'If global domination had a face – Diljit x Shakira," set social media ablaze, marking a cultural crossover moment that felt equal parts surreal and inevitable. Adding fuel to the frenzy was a behind-the-scenes video shared by Diljit's team a few days after the Met Gala. In it, Diljit is seen casually narrating why they were running late. 'They're not taking us to the main area, all the action is happening backstage. I think the zipper on Shakira's dress broke, that's why we're late. I knew we would be late because of Shakira," he chuckled. But behind the light-hearted humour is the image of a man who has become one of India's most recognizable cultural exports. At the Met Gala, Diljit wore a regal white ensemble designed by American-Nepalese fashion icon Prabal Gurung—his look inspired by the grandeur of the Maharaja of Patiala. It was both a tribute to royal Indian heritage and a bold statement about his place on the global stage. Inside the gala, Diljit mingled with the world's biggest celebrities. Nicole Scherzinger, known for her fierce style and pop diva status, even complimented Diljit on his look. Later, the trio—Diljit, Nicole, and Shakira—were spotted at an intimate dinner hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, solidifying Diljit's arrival in fashion's most elite circle. Diljit's rise in global recognition isn't an overnight success. He made history as the first Punjabi artist to perform at Coachella in 2023 and followed it up with his record-breaking Dil-Luminati Tour, which saw him sell out massive stadiums like Vancouver's BC Place and Toronto's Rogers Centre—marking the largest Punjabi music concerts held outside of India. In 2024, he graced the cover of Billboard Global and Billboard Canada, becoming the face of a new era in Indian music. An era where language and geography are no longer barriers to global acclaim. His career now straddles music, film, fashion, and diplomacy. That's precisely what made his presence at the Billboard Summit so significant. This year marks the first time the summit was launched in Canada, in celebration of Billboard's 30th anniversary. Hosting the event at NXNE in Toronto, one of the world's most multicultural cities, was intentional. Panos A Panay told Billboard Canada, 'For decades, the music industry was viewed through an Anglo-American lens. But we're finally seeing a seismic shift. Artists like Diljit are reshaping the global soundscape. He doesn't need to sing in English to go viral or move stadiums—and that's powerful." At the summit, a slew of artist-led workshops and conversations focused on the intersection of culture, identity, and music as the new language of diplomacy. Diljit's interview was one of the biggest highlights, not just because of the star power but because of the message he carries: that art transcends borders, and authenticity is more magnetic than assimilation. As for the Shakira collaboration? Nothing's official yet—but if an Indian version of Hips Don't Lie does materialize, it would be a symbolic and sonic celebration of two powerhouse cultures colliding in the best way.
