In the pictures, Winfrey wore a sequined black Valentino shirt with a matching pleated skirt that fell just below her knees, along with a pair of sheer black leggings and black heels. She turned around in one move she shared as she swung her skirt in tribute to Turner.
Winfrey kept it glitzy with her accessories too, pairing her look with a matching black embellished handbag, embellished earrings and a chunky gold Valentino logo bracelet with gold rings.
The chat show host also sported a fun, high ponytail with added long extensions that were styled into loose curls.

At the Grammys, Winfrey paid further tribute to Turner — who died aged 83 last May — speaking fondly of the late singer, before delivering a stunning musical tribute to the icon featuring Fantasia Barrino.
“From the moment I met Tina, first as a fan and later blessed to become her friend, she was a special kind of role model,” Winfrey said on stage. “… And as those great wheels of time turn, Tina’s voice continues to speak to us all.”
In an Instagram Story clip posted from backstage after her presentation and Barrin’s performance, Winfrey said, “I thought it was a lot of fun. It was so much fun to honor Tina. And I’m glad that I cried yesterday so I didn’t have to cry today, I could only celebrate. It was so much fun. And I thought Fantasia killed it… the outfit… I loved the whole thing. I loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it.”
