Oprah gets cast in a flattering light, literally

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style


Over the years, there's no doubt that Oprah Winfrey's look has changed dramatically -- you can check her out right now at StyleList's Look of the Day. Her hair, her weight, her wardrobe -- they've all been switched up on a yearly basis. But, has she gone under the knife to make more drastic changes?

Many experts say no -- as a matter of fact, although the look of her face has changed somewhat throughout the years (most notably, her schnoz), it's more a matter of makeup and lighting than surgical intervention. Because, let's be real, folks -- how many of our faces don't look considerably different now than they did in the '80s?

Oprah: Looking good, girl

  • Oprah Winfrey
  • Talk Show Queen
  • A little more formal
  • Girlfriend knows how to pose!
  • Wouldn't you love to have her lighting? And makeup artists?
Because Oprah is in the spotlight ALL THE TIME, she has an incredibly talented and knowledgeable staff to help her play up her best features and minimize anything she wants downplayed. And, it's amazing what a little controlled lighting can do. It can make you look younger, thinner, healthier -- and when you add makeup into the mix, you can achieve just about anything.

In the meantime, we'd love to get some of that flattering light over here. Oprah, could you hook us up?
