Oprah Winfrey stole the spotlight at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards where she was honored with the Vanguard Award alongside Niecy Nash-Betts. The 70-year-old TV host looked stunning in a long black blazer dress with a purple collar and buttons, complemented by chic curled hair and glittering statement earrings.
Known for her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, Winfrey expressed her gratitude for receiving the Vanguard Award for being an ally. She described it as a “special honour” and spoke passionately about the importance of inclusivity and acceptance.
Winfrey’s fashionable attire didn’t stop at the awards ceremony. She was also seen wearing the same blazer dress outside the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studios before changing into a mustard-coloured sweater and jeans for her appearance on the show.
During her interview with Kimmel, Winfrey reflected on her life-changing double knee surgery in 2021, which prompted her to prioritize her health and embark on a weight loss journey. She humorously mentioned needing “three people to take off” her custom Louis Vuitton gown, which took “600 hours” to make, worn at the Golden Globes in January.
Winfrey’s presence at the GLAAD Media Awards and her impactful words serve as a reminder of her ongoing commitment to advocacy and empowerment, inspiring people worldwide.
