Oprah Shows Off Her 40-Pound Weight Loss In A Preppy Outfit As She Discusses Weight Gain During Midlife

Since Oprah’s striking weight loss transformation, fans have been closely following her fashion—and she continues to deliver standout looks.

Recently, the media icon embraced the preppy trend with her own sophisticated twist, proving that great style knows no age. In a recent episode of her talk show, where she opened up about midlife weight gain, Oprah wore a gray sleeveless sweater layered over a crisp white button-down, paired with classic gray sweatpants.

She styled her hair in a wavy side part and and wore her signature glasses.

In the episode, The Color Purple star sat down with Dr. Sharon Malone to discuss menopause and the challenges of midlife weight gain.

Oprah, who has been candid about her own weight loss journey, has continued to share her experiences—especially after revealing she used weight loss medication as part of her recent transformation.

In 2024, Oprah thanked new weight loss drugs for her transformation but also noted that she still has to put in the work to maintain her figure and, most importantly, her health.

She has also credited fasting, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle for keeping her in shape in her 70s.

“I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but I felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way,” she told People.

She also said, “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, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for. I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.”
