Oprah Winfrey was a vision in pink as she displayed the results of her recent 40lbs weight loss after turning to medication to help her slim down.
The 70-year-old took part in a three-hour WeightWatchers special broadcast live on YouTube on Thursday, where she apologized for her role in promoting toxic diet culture.
The event also featured stars including Amber Riley and Rebel Wilson, who shared a gorgeous photo of her and Oprah behind the scenes on Friday.
Oprah looked beautiful in high-waisted, loose-fit pink pants with a matching top that boasted a high neck, long sleeves, and cut-out detailing.
Rebel looked equally as glam, wearing a fitted black dress with multi-colored pleats that showcased her curves.
During the special, Oprah candidly discussed her long-standing role within the diet industry and her commitment to changing the narrative towards body acceptance and health at every size.

"I’ve been a major contributor to it. I cannot tell you how many weight-loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television."
She admitted that the focus on weight had "set a standard for people watching that I nor anybody else could uphold".

Recently, she sparked controversy when she revealed that she had turned to an unnamed weight-loss drug to help her maintain her slimmed-down physique after previously calling drugs like Ozempic an "easy way out".
Despite the backlash her revelation caused, Oprah stood by her decision and said that she turned to weight loss medication after her doctor told her she would most likely always "yo-yo" because "obesity is a disease".

"What I realized when I listened to what the doctor said that you are always going to put it back on, and it's like holding your breath underwater and trying not to rise."
She added: "You're always going to rise." During a previous interview with People, Oprah admitted that being able to turn to weight loss medication felt like "a gift".

"I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing," she added. "I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself."
Until recently, Oprah was a long-standing member of the WeightWatchers board but quit her position because of her TV special about prescription weight loss medications, citing a "conflict of interest".

"I did not want to have the appearance of any conflict of interest."
She added: "I resigned from the board and donated all of my shares to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. So, nobody can say, 'Oh, she's doing that special, she's making money, promoting.' No, you cannot say that."
