Oprah Winfrey is giving purple a moment—and for good reason. The media mogul is producing the long-awaited musical adaptation of Alice Walker Purpleand to celebrate the film’s upcoming release, she visited the Empire State Building to watch it turn (you guessed it) purple.
And her outfit explored one of Hollywood’s top trouser trends, but with an elegant twist. Of course, the star was dressed head-to-toe in the bold hue, opting for a monochromatic look layered under a sparkly ombre coat. Her pants had a comfortable, wide-leg silhouette, finished in a satin material that’s so trendy for the holiday season.
