Oprah Winfrey's 26 best looks

If you want to give your wardrobe a sprinkle of A-list sparkle, then Oprah Winfrey's best looks are an ideal starting point for some sartorial inspiration. The iconic businesswoman has honed a go-to style during her glittering decades-long career in the public eye - including beautiful ruffled gowns, shimmering outerwear, silky tailoring, and cool accessories.

Winfrey began her broadcasting career in radio while in high school and landed a job as a co-anchor for the local evening news at just 19. The rising star then quickly moved into daytime TV, launching a production company along with her iconic The Oprah Winfrey Show in Chicago in 1986. Around this time, she also appeared in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple - which saw her nominated for a Best Supporting Actress award at the Oscars.

By the mid-1990s, Winfrey had solidified her status as a leading interviewer of everyone from celebrities to royalty. The presenter - who has a long-time partner, the author Stedman Graham - ended her talk show in 2011. However, by this point, she had grown to be one of the wealthiest and most influential women in the world and turned her focus to other areas of media. This included expanding her book club, publishing a magazine and acting in the likes of 2018's A Wrinkle In Time.

Throughout her time on screen, the Hollywood favourite has built up a distinct dress sense that features lashings of colour, swathes of sequins, elegant frocks and sharp power suits. She is proof that you can take your time to find your fashion feet and ultimately find the confidence to have fun with clothes and accessories - whether you are hitting the red carpet or not.
