The 71-year-old media mogul highlighted her slim waist in a white dress cinched in with a black belt, following her dramatic Ozempic weight loss journey.
The TV personality sparkled up her look with a massive diamond ring on her finger, and dangling earrings as she commanded attention at the event, held at David Geffen Hall.
Oprah’s dark tresses were styled into bouncy locks cascading down her shoulders. Her elegant outfit was rounded out with black heels.
Oprah previously revealed she dropped approximately 50 pounds with the help of weight loss medication. Her admission received criticism as she once referred to using medication as an ‘easy way out’ and denied using the drug for weight loss following years of yo-yo dieting.
While on the red carpet, she was also seen posing with Misty, 43. Misty will bid farewell to the American Ballet Theater during the one-night-only performance.
The iconic ballerina made history in 2015 when she became the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in the ABT’s 85-year history.
Founded in 1939 and based in New York, ABT is considered one of the premier classical ballet companies in the US.
After a five-year hiatus, she will return to the stage, performing with her ABT peers in a specially curated program.
Misty wowed in a strapless gown with a dramatic two-tone color scheme of black and white.
The top was a corset-style bodice, while the skirt portion was made of voluminous black tulle.
Her hair was slicked back into a chic bun, and her picture-perfect glam highlighted her naturally stunning features.
While Copeland is saying goodbye to ABT, she is not retiring from dance. Instead, she will focus on her foundation’s signature BE BOLD program.
This initiative aims to make ballet affordable and accessible for children of all backgrounds.
She also built an illustrious career beyond ballet, including starring in a Prince music video and writing a New York Times bestseller.
Oprah’s best friend Gayle King, 70, was also in attendance. Gayle looked marvelous in a black velvet gown which she teamed with a silver clutch.
Model and wife of the late David Bowie, Iman, 70, stunned in a delicate pale blue gown with red floral designs.
Nicole Ari Parker, 55, was a vision in a peach gown with puffy sleeves and silver accents.
Annabelle actress Alfre Woodard, 72, opted for a colorful silk dress.
Orange Is the New Black star Danielle Brooks, 36, wore an eye-catching white top with black letter print and a matching black skirt.
Ilana Glazer, 38, was effortlessly cool in an oversized white suit.
Isabella Boylston, 39, looked every inch the seasoned ballerina in a white tulle gown that resembled a tutu.
Model Brooks Nader, 28, wore a gorgeous velvet green halter-neck gown.
Tamron Hall, 55, also opted for a stunning olive green dress with a train flowing behind her.
Grey’s Anatomy star Debbie Allen, 75, joined Phylicia Rashad, 77, on the red carpet, with both ladies looking splendid in black gowns.
Wednesday’s program will feature special performances by Copeland and dancers from American Ballet Theatre, as well as ‘appearances by an extraordinary group of luminaries from the worlds of dance, entertainment, and the arts.’
‘I could never have imagined the life ballet would give me,’ Misty said in a statement shared by ABT.
‘To dance on the world’s greatest stages, with artists I admire so deeply, has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. My time with ABT has shaped me not just as a dancer, but as a person, and given me the platform to reach back and make space for others.’
‘This moment isn’t a farewell, it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together, and a step toward all the work that’s still ahead.’
