Oprah Winfrey made a stylish statement, blending classic elegance with modern flair, as she attended an intimate family-style dinner hosted by Brunello Cucinelli at the iconic Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The event drew a star-studded guest list, including Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Sharon Stone, Quinta Brunson, Ava DuVernay, Sophia Bush, Casey Affleck, and Jon Hamm.
Winfrey redefined the traditional power suit with a textured and layered ensemble. Her look featured a tailored beige jacket paired with a flowing floor-length skirt adorned with delicate feather-like accents in a soft mauve hue.
The ensemble struck a balance between the structured sophistication of suiting and the whimsical elegance of the skirt’s detailing, showcasing her ability to innovate classic styles.
A Fall-Ready Footwear Moment
Winfrey stepped out in a pair of black booties. The boots featured sleek, glossy black leather uppers with a finish suggesting the possibility of patent leather. Their understated sophistication added a modern edge to her outfit, while the sturdy design made them an ideal choice for fall.
Oprah’s dream lunch date
The actress, producer, and media personality is the founder of Oprah’s Book Club, one of the first celebrity book clubs. Established years before such clubs became popular, it was originally a segment on her television show. Since its inception in 1996, it has evolved into a thriving social media community and has continued to attract readers.
A few weeks ago, Winfrey answered fan questions on Threads, revealing her favorite reading spot, her book club’s latest selection, and the fictional character she’d most like to dine with.
“Pecola Breedlove from The Bluest Eye,” wrote Winfrey, referencing one of the characters from Toni Morrison’s beloved 1970 novel. “I would have her for lunch and say, ‘You don’t need blue eyes because you’re beautiful just the way you are.’”
“The Bluest Eye” is Toni Morrison’s first novel, and it delves into the life of Pecola, a young Black girl growing up in the aftermath of the Great Depression. The story addresses complex themes such as racism and more, establishing Morrison as a prominent voice of her generation.
In a discussion on Threads, Oprah Winfrey shared some personal insights, including her favorite reading spot, which is on a sofa near a fireplace, where she enjoys curling up with a “lovely cashmere blanket,” although wool or cotton works too. She also announced that her book club’s latest selection is Elizabeth Strout’s “Tell Me Everything.”
“There’s love, heartbreak, and even possible murder — it’s the perfect read for this fall season,” she wrote on Threads.
