Oprah Winfrey Explains Viral Paris Fashion Week Walk After Online Mockery

Winfrey says non-prescription sunglasses left her unable to see during the Chloé entrance.

Overview

  • Footage of Winfrey and Gayle King taking cautious steps into the Chloé Fall/Winter 2026 show in Paris spread widely after Paris Match posted it on TikTok.
  • Winfrey reshared the clip and, in a recent appearance, said a stylist handed her Chloé sunglasses that were not prescription, leaving her effectively walking blind.
  • She recalled asking security to guide her into the venue because she could not see clearly in the sunglasses.
  • Winfrey added that King told her she had two broken toes that day, offering a second reason for their careful pace.
  • Coverage of the response also revisited Winfrey’s past disclosure that she has used a GLP-1 weight-loss medication, as social-media reaction ranged from supportive to continuing ridicule.
