Oprah Winfrey Flaunts Her Slim Figure In A Double-Denim Outfit

Though she might not be hosting her own television show or doing much acting these days, the philanthropist and media icon is still hard at work.

 

In addition to keeping up her successful book club and podcast, Oprah has been stepping out for Fashion Week, press events, and interviews to promote things like the new book she co-authored about modern takes on treating obesity, Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, and What It's Like to Be Free. Earlier this month, she touched down in New York City to be a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 7th, and stepped out in an outfit that was super stylish.

 

The 72-year-old wore double-denim, pairing a button-up denim jacket with puffy sleeves and some trending straight-leg jeans. She accessorized with some dangling earrings, oversized sunglasses, and a coveted cherry red Chloé Paddington handbag.

Fans React To Oprah's Denim Look & Weight Loss On Social Media

It didn't take long for pictures of The Color Purple actress in her 'Canadian tuxedo' to start circulating online. Many social media users were impressed with her look, as she's been dipping her toe into slightly more trendy, hip, and youthful styles.

 

Lots of people believe her latest weight loss has likely sparked inspiration along her style journey, as users still can't seem to get over how different she looks. After years of struggling with her weight and dealing with media scrutiny for her size, as well as testing out various weight loss programs like Weight Watchers, Oprah has slimmed down a lot more over the last ten years, finally finding what works for her.

 

In addition to a healthy, balanced diet that's not as restrictive, and a variety of exercise from hiking to lifting weights, the award-winner has also credited the use of a GLP-1 medication to not only help her lose some excess pounds but also quiet her 'food noise.' Now, fans can't get over her new body, cheering her on through various social media platforms.

 

"Looking better than ever at 72!" commented a fan under Instagram snaps of her denim outfit.

 

"She looks amazing and happy," wrote another. "That’s all that matters."

 

"Looking amazing," commented a user, as another added, "Obsessed with this double denim look."
