Oprah Winfrey attended the 2023 CinemaCon in Las Vegas yesterday to promote the upcoming adaptation of “The Color Purple,” which is set to premiere on Dec. 2023. Winfrey, who starred in the 1985 release of the film, spoke alongside the cast of the new project including Danielle Brooks, Taraji P. Henson and Fantasia Barrino.
For the presentation, the former talk show host was clad in a vibrant lavender suit comprised of a slightly oversized blazer with structured shoulders and contrasting black button detailing worn over a crisp white collared shirt. On the bottom, the media personality sported matching lavender trousers in a tailored style.
Rounding out her look, “The Princess and the Frog” actress styled thin reading glasses with rounded lavender frames to match her suit, which she wore with silver dangling earrings for good measure. As for her hair, Winfrey kept her dark tresses down in a side part, styled in curls.
On her feet, Winfrey stepped out in black leather pointed-toe ankle boots fitted with stacked thick stiletto heels and a sleek silhouette. The pair were made of patent leather, hence the high-shine appearance. A go-to shoe style for many, Winfrey included, ankle boots are an extremely versatile addition to any wardrobe. The footwear style offers the wearer a neutral and often walkable base perfect for just about every occasion.
