Oprah Winfrey's appearance at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month has become the latest flashpoint in the celebrity weight-loss conversation. On the March 6 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly said that the veteran broadcaster was almost unrecognisable, pointing to Winfrey's noticeably slimmer frame and asking whether she was trying to look 'hot at 72.'
For context, discussion around Winfrey's weight loss was already circulating before Kelly weighed in. Photos and video from Paris drew attention to a leaner silhouette, a more defined face and what some online viewers thought was an unsteady turn in heels. All of this fed into a familiar, if increasingly sour, internet ritual where famous women's bodies become public property the moment they change.
