WATCH: News headlines today: April 16, 2019

Exactly 25 years ago, M.A.C. cosmetics vowed to support those living with or affected by HIV and AIDS with the iconic Viva Glam lipstick campaign.

To help lead the celebration, supermodel Winnie Harlow was tapped to recreate the look of the first campaign that starred RuPaul in 1994 -- and she nailed it!

With big blonde hair, a matching red girdle and over-the-knee patent leather boots, the 24-year-old "America's Next Top Model" alum paid tribute in the best way possible.

She continued, "If you know me you know makeup is a love of mine so I’m speechless!"
