‘Is That Really You?’: Fans Can't Recognize Oprah Winfrey, 69, in Slinky Dress after Weight Loss

Oprah Winfrey stunned fans after posting a picture of herself looking slimmed down in a purple sequined dress. Others could not believe that it was the TV host in the photo; to them, it looked nothing like her.

Oprah Winfrey graced the Academy Museum Gala in a gorgeous purple sequined dress. Her chosen outfit showed off her curves, shocking fans at how much weight she's lost.

The 2023 Academy Museum Gala took place on December 3, 2023, in Los Angeles. Winfrey was one of the many stars who graced the red carpet along with Meryl Streep, Lupita Nyong'o, Selena Gomez, and Natalie Portman.

While many praised Winfrey for her look, others couldn't help but comment about her weight. "It's hard to believe that she is about to be 70 in January," a fan wrote.

"Oprah??!??? Is that really you?" one stunned fan asked. "Yes, it's her. You'll know that she's always taking care of herself. You're an amazing woman, Oprah," another argued.

The talk show host has always been open about her weight loss journey. She's spent years trying several diets before finally choosing to focus on lifestyle change.

Winfrey joined a program called "Weight Watchers," which allows her to eat healthy without having to stop eating her favorite food. Recently, she hosted a conversation titled "The State of Weight" with several obesity specialists.

Their conversation tackled the weight crisis and aimed to discuss the safety of weight loss drugs like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Ozempic. While users slammed Winfrey for using the weight loss drug, she has not admitted to using it.
