Oprah Stuns In Slimming Outfit
The outfit in question features a high-waisted butter-yellow skirt that highlights the 72-year-old’s slim waist. The skirt falls in pleats to about mid-calf. On top, Oprah wore a button-down blouse of the same color, buttoned to the collar and tucked into her skirt. The entire outfit made Oprah’s tiny waist the center of attention, with fans leaving comments like, “Her stylist is doing a great job, I love her fits!” and “Oprah looks GOOD!”
“She looks amazing!” another fan added in the comment section.
“To even do this and not IMMEDIATELY ADDRESS THE SNATCHED WAIST?!” another fan added. “Come on journalism! This was cute, y’all. Great work!”
Oprah Is Proud Of Reaching Her ‘Goal Weight’
It’s no secret that Oprah Winfrey has lost a lot of weight recently, and it’s also no secret that a big part of that journey included taking weight loss drugs. Originally, Oprah denied the use of weight loss drugs during an Oprah Daily panel: “Even when I first started hearing about the weight loss drugs,” she explained. “At the same time I was going through knee surgery, and I felt, ‘I’ve got to do this on my own.’ Because if I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.”
However, just three months later, Oprah revealed that her perspective has changed. “I now use [weight loss drugs] as I feel I need it,” she told People. “As a tool to manage no yo-yoing,” she continued, referencing her weight fluctuations over the years.
“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 said, “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.”

But, Oprah made sure to emphasize that her weight loss transformation wasn't just due to the drugs. "It's everything," she said, talking about her health and fitness routine. In the past the media mogul shared that she hikes "three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on the weekends."
Plus, she still uses WeightWatchers principles of counting points when it comes to sticking to a diet. Oprah is a WeightWatchers ambassador, and has been since 2015. She also owns 10% of shares in the company, and serves as a board member and advisor.
Between eating right and maintaining a rigorous exercise routine, Oprah shared that she "worked so damn hard," and is actually at "goal weight" of 160 pounds, but can't just rely on drugs. "I know that if I'm not also working out and vigilant about all the other things, it doesn't work for me."
