Oprah Winfrey wrapped up 2023 with a spectacular fashion finale! The media mogul graced numerous public events donning radiant purple ensembles to promote The Color Purple, showcasing her incredible weight loss journey.
Whether she was dazzling in a sequin purple trench coat atop the Empire State Building or turning heads in a figure-flattering purple gown, Oprah left us all in awe with her impeccable fashion sense while promoting her latest film.
Let’s take a look back at some of our cherished purple moments from the 69-year-old, as she confidently flaunts her newly slimmed-down figure.
In honor of the musical adaptation of Alice Walker’s The Color Purple and the imminent release of the film, Oprah Winfrey paid a visit to the Empire State Building to witness its majestic transformation into shades of purple. Her ensemble for the occasion featured a chic satin purple top paired with wide-legged pants, elegantly topped off with a dazzling gradient purple jacket adorned with sequins.
The belt at her waist perfectly showed off her fit physique that she has gained thanks to weight loss drugs and other lifestyle modifications.
The next destination on her agenda was The Drew Barrymore Show, where the former talk show host effortlessly blended various shades of purple into a single ensemble. She donned a chic light purple jacket, a vivid high-neck sweater that hugged her figure perfectly, and indigo wide-legged pants, complete with pockets.
She captioned the post: “Next stop: @thedrewbarrymoreshow in all my Purple gear! @jcrew has all shades of purple sweaters if you’re still looking for what to wear to @thecolorpurple. Thank you @drewbarrymore for being so kind and welcoming.”
