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, Danielle Brooks, web page 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.

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.
