Oprah Winfrey Addresses Viral Paris Fashion Week Walk, Citing Sunglasses Mix-Up

She says non‑prescription shades left her unable to see, with Gayle King also contending with two broken toes.

Overview

  • Winfrey reshared an Instagram clip and, during a recent appearance, explained she had been handed Chloé sunglasses that were not prescription just before stepping out of the car.
  • She said she asked security to guide her because she could not see, which led to the careful, small steps seen in the widely circulated video.
  • Winfrey relayed that Gayle King told her she had two broken toes, offering further context for their cautious arrival.
  • The footage was taken as the pair arrived for the Chloé show at Paris Fashion Week at the Tennis Club de Paris earlier this month.
  • Online speculation linked Winfrey’s gait to weight‑loss drugs, though coverage notes no evidence for that claim beyond her 2023 acknowledgment of using an unspecified medication.
