Why Oprah Walked Like She Was "90 Years Old" at Paris Fashion Week
Popular media personality, Oprah Winfrey, has taken the lighthearted jabs from Nigerians and the rest of the world with a smile.
At the recently concluded Paris Fashion Week, Oprah, 72, made a stylish appearance alongside her friend Gayle King. However, her pace as she walked to the Chloe runway show caught the attention of many who couldn't help but notice that she was moving rather slowly. Some even joked that she was walking like someone who was 90 years old.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Oprah shared her side of the story, saying that the commotion around her outfit had made her lose focus. Her stylist gave her non-prescription sunglasses, which greatly impaired her vision, causing her to move cautiously as she navigated the runway.
"I have to wear glasses or contacts when I'm not wearing prescription lenses," Oprah explained. "So, in this case, I couldn't see where I was going. Those who were joking that I was walking like someone who was 90 years old, they weren't entirely wrong, as I genuinely couldn't see what was ahead of me."
Nigerians, known for their wit and humor, would likely appreciate Oprah's sense of humor and her willingness to poke fun at herself. This incident serves as a reminder that sometimes, our vision can be impaired by more than just our physical eyesight. It can also be affected by external factors such as our surroundings and the choices we make.
As the queen of American media continues to inspire and entertain, it's refreshing to see her take things in stride and laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Who knows, maybe her next fashion statement will be a stylish pair of prescription sunglasses.
