Oprah Winfrey’s presence at Paris Fashion Week has once again sparked conversation online.
As the fashion calendar kicked into high gear, celebrities and fashion personalities flocked to major cities including London, Milan, New York and most recently Paris.
As for the media mogul, she stepped out for her second show to attend the Chloé Fall/Winter 2026 collection.
The front row was filled with familiar faces, from rising stars like Aimee Lou Wood to pop singer Olivia Rodrigo to legendary A-listers like Brooke Shields, Gayle King and of course Oprah.
During the event, the iconic TV host was spotted in a stunning peach-colored cropped top with a high-collar detail paired with a cream-colored pussy-bow blouse, wide-legged jeans and nude high heels.

She completed the ensemble with tinted glasses and a white handbag.
As for her glam, she kept it simple and opted for a sleek braided high ponytail.
Oprah was joined by her longtime friend Gayle King, who looked just as dazzling.
With the buzz surrounding the event, it didn’t take long for the award-winning host’s appearance to catch people’s attention.
In a video circulating on social media, the Oprah Winfrey Show host appeared visibly slimmer.
However, despite looking dressed to the nines, fans on social media noticed the drastic change and some expressed concern about the possible effects.
Based on the comments, some thought it was due to medications known as GLP-1 agonists.
“No muscle coming back after those meds. Which includes the heart, stomach and intestines. Just look at the lawsuits now,” one wrote on X.
“This drug is killing them all slowly. They can’t stop losing weight, and they can’t stop taking the drug. She can barely walk on her own,” a commenter said.
The same goes for another who was worried about the impact of the drug, adding, “Can’t wait for the long-term effects for them since they’re not diabetics.”
On the other hand, some speculated that it might just be the styling or that she underwent an enhancement.
“I think she’s had something done, too,” an X user mentioned.
“Her stylist hates her. Every single piece of clothing that is picked for her is the wrong one for her body shape,” a commenter wrote.
“And just let her wear flats. She looks like a Clydesdale learning to walk,” another echoed.
“She has poor posture, her shoulders are very rounded, she does not have a straight back,” a follower chimed in.
In 2025, the talk show host and actress revealed that she had taken weight-loss medication.
“One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people just had more willpower, they ate better foods, they were able to stick to it longer, they never had a potato chip, and then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, ‘Oh, they’re not even thinking about it,” she mentioned in The Oprah Podcast, as cited by Today. “They’re only eating when they’re hungry, and they’re stopping when they’re full,” she said on the podcast.
Her weight loss transformation first became noticeable when she appeared on the red carpet at the premiere of The Color Purple in December 2023.
Prior to that, she underwent double knee replacement surgery in 2021, which may explain why she appeared to struggle while walking during the recent public appearance.
