Oprah Winfrey Radiant Red Carpet: Oprah Winfrey, the media mogul, graced the red carpet at ‘The Color Purple’ world premiere in Los Angeles, showcasing her recent weight loss in a stunning tight, long-sleeved purple gown. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the 69-year-old discussed the comprehensive effort behind her slimmed-down transformation.
“It’s not one thing, it’s everything,” Winfrey emphasized, expressing her commitment to maintaining her new look. “I was on that treadmill today,” she added.
Accessorizing her all-purple ensemble, Winfrey adorned herself with a glittering purple clutch bag and purple slingback heels featuring silver embellishments. Her hair was styled into curls, complemented by dangling silver earrings.
As a producer of the upcoming movie musical and reprising her role as Sofia from the original 1985 film, which earned her an Academy Award nomination, Winfrey is deeply involved in the project. The film, based on Alice Walkers 1982 novel and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Broadway production, is set to hit theaters on Dec. 25.
In September, Winfrey hosted a panel discussing the obesity crisis and shared insights into her own weight journey. Reflecting on her struggles, she disclosed her highest weight of 237 lbs and the challenges of societal attitudes towards weight.
Winfrey highlighted the way people treated her differently when she weighed over 200 lbs, particularly in the realm of clothes shopping, where she experienced condescension and stigma. She has been open about her affiliation with WeightWatchers, where she is an investor and board member since 2015, expressing her commitment to the program and a lifestyle change.
The media mogul’s recent appearance at ‘The Color Purple’ premiere not only showcased her elegant style but also shed light on her dedication to overall well-being and a healthier lifestyle.
