New York Fashion Week is here, and Oprah Winfrey is one of the many significant stars who is stepping out to sit front row at a show. This year, she was seen sporting a rather unique look that allowed her to flaunt her recent weight loss.

The television personality was photographed attending one of Ralph Lauren’s infamous fashion shows for New York Fashion Week, alongside her best friend, Gayle King. She wore a slightly more avant-garde outfit with a button-up blouse and turtleneck underneath, which ended up allowing her to show off her slimmed-down figure, which she’s been flaunting since losing weight due to lifestyle changes and a brief use of weight loss drugs. Read more about her fashion show look and weight loss below.

Oprah Winfrey Flaunts Her Weight Loss In A Button-Up Blouse And Leather Pants At NYFW

The Color Purple actress is one of many famous stars stepping out for Fashion Week in New York City, where designers of all callibers are hosting shows to look at their latest collections. One of the biggest brands in fashion, Ralph Lauren, recently had a show in the Big Apple, and it's one of those big-name celebrities love to see on the runway.

 

Sitting up close to the models was none other than Oprah and her best friend, CBS host Gayle King, who sat side-by-side in chic outfits while observing the collection. Oprah was wearing an outfit that was slightly more unique than her usual look, as it consisted of a sleek white button-down shirt, cropped black leather pants, and a lacy white turtleneck.

 

While she loves a good button-up blouse, the leather pants were a saucy touch, as well as the layered turtleneck, which added some dimension and an interesting addition to the outfit. She paired it with a stylish black purse and had her long black hair curled and worn down.

Fans React To Oprah's Fashion Week Look On Social Media

The Oprah Network star's appearance at the fashion show not only had fans buzzing because of her chic look, but also because of how it emphasized her recent weight loss. Over the last few years, she's reportedly lost 40 pounds after struggling to lose weight and consistently keep it off.

 

She's opened up about her weight loss, being a sponsor for programs like Weight Watchers, and giving her thoughts on weight loss drugs, which she reportedly tried for only a brief period of time.

 

"The fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift," she told People in 2023.

 

Whatever she's doing, the 71-year-old's fans are super into her looks these days, and left plenty of supportive comments on her under pictures and videos of her and Gayle at NYFW on Instagram.

 

"Oprah looks good," wrote an Instagram user.

 

"They both look fabulous and are a great example for aging," added another.

 

"You both look stunning," wrote an enthusiastic fan.

 

"Two classy chicks," added another.

 

We'll be curious to see if the book club icon decides to attend any other fashion events in the coming days, but for now, it looks like her first show look was a hit on social media.
