Oprah Winfrey showed off her shrinking figure on Saturday night as she supported the cast of The Color Purple at the 2024 SAG Awards in Los Angeles.
As a nod to the musical film, the TV icon, 70, showed up in a striking purple off-the-shoulder gown with a belted waist.
Oprah — who took weight-loss medication to dramatically slim down — styled her frock with a purple satin clutch and diamond drop earrings.
She skipped the red carpet but was later spotted inside the theater at a table with the cast of The Color Purple: Taraji P. Henson, Web page Danielle Brooks, Ciara and Halle Bailey.
Oprah, who produced the Netflix remake of the 1985 film in which she starred, quashed rumors of a feud with Taraji by cozying up to the actress for a photo.
Speculation that the pair were at odds began last year as they worked the media circuit to promote The Color Purple.

Taraji publicly complained about a paltry initial salary offer and alleged that she and other cast members were told they would need to drive their rental cars to the film’s set.
While speaking to the New York Times, the Curious Case Of Benjamin Button actress said that not only was the request insulting for an actor of her fame, but that it was also potentially ‚dangerous‘ and an ‚insurance liability‘ issue.
Oprah vehemently denied the feud rumors while speaking with CBS at the Golden Globe Awards and sounded as if she was shocked by the talk of alleged bad blood between her and Taraji.
‚It’s so disturbing to me. Why is my name even in this conversation? Why is my name in this conversation? ‚Cause I have just been the champion for everybody,‘ she said defensively.
