The stunning model and entrepreneur Winnie Harlow recently announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend, NBA star Kyle Kuzma. The couple, who have been together since 2020, melted hearts when Kyle popped the question on February 13, just before they jetted off to Turks and Caicos. The ultra-romantic proposal featured a private jet decked out with roses, chocolates, and balloons, plus both of their families waiting to celebrate. And let’s not forget the show-stopping ring: a custom 8.5-carat oval-cut diamond with two baguettes on the sides—designed by Kyle himself with Winnie in mind.
With Winnie’s timeless style (peep her Architectural Digest home tour for proof) and the couple’s undeniable flair for luxury, we have no doubt their wedding will be one for the books.
Inspired by Winnie’s chic engagement announcement, we’re officially in wedding season mode! If you’re a newly engaged Muse like Winnie, here are some self-care tips to help you prep for your big day, inside and out.
Skincare: Glow Like You Mean It
Your wedding day may come and go, but those photos? They’ll last forever. Start prioritizing your skincare routine now so you can walk down the aisle with a radiant, healthy glow. If you’re dealing with any ongoing skin concerns, book an appointment with a dermatologist sooner rather than later. Otherwise, stick to a consistent routine that covers the basics: cleanse, tone, hydrate, and protect. Incorporate hydrating face masks into your weekly regimen and never—seriously, never—skip your SPF. Your future self will thank you.
Haircare: Let Your Locks Shine
Your hair is your crown, and you’ll want it looking its absolute best when you say “I do.” Consult with a professional stylist to map out a game plan for your wedding-day hair goals. Follow their recommended routine for maintaining strong, healthy strands, including regular deep-conditioning treatments, trimming split ends, and adding steam treatments to boost moisture absorption. Whether you’re rocking a sleek bun, soft curls, or flowing waves, a healthy foundation will make all the difference.
Fitness: Build Stamina for Your Big Day
Let’s face it—your wedding day is basically your Super Bowl. Between the ceremony, photos, outfit changes, and hours on the dance floor, you’ll need plenty of energy and endurance to keep up. Establishing a consistent fitness routine leading up to the big day will not only help you feel your best physically but also boost your mood and reduce stress. Need inspo? We love a mix of HIIT classes for cardio and strength, paired with reformer Pilates for sculpting and toning. Bonus: You’ll be in great shape (and flexibility 👀) for that honeymoon too!
Probiotics: Balance From Within
Wedding planning is exciting, but let’s be real—it can also be stressful. And when stress hits, it can throw your gut (and mood) out of balance. Incorporating probiotics into your daily routine can help regulate your gut-brain axis, improving digestion, reducing anxiety, and supporting your immune system. Plus, a healthy gut contributes to glowing skin—talk about a win-win! Look for a high-quality probiotic supplement or add probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and kimchi to your diet.
Friend Dates: Don’t Ghost Your Inner Circle
As you prepare to marry your best friend, don’t forget to nurture the friendships that have been there through it all. Spending quality time with your closest crew can help you stay grounded and maintain a sense of normalcy during the whirlwind of wedding planning. Schedule regular friend dates—whether it’s a bottomless brunch, a gallery-hopping day in the city, or a cozy girls’ night in, these moments will remind you that love comes in many forms.
So, to all the brides-to-be: take care of yourself, soak up every moment, and get ready to shine on your big day!
