Oprah Winfrey showed off her slimmed-down physique at the Louis Vuitton Cruise Show in Italy on Wednesday – and she looked almost unrecognizable!
The 69-year-old turned heads in a chic white co-ord that consisted of a striped shirt and matching wide-legged pants. Oprah added a black belt that cinched her waist and highlighted her curves and oozed confidence as she posed for photos on the red carpet.
The talk show host has been open about her weight loss journey in the past and last year she revealed she was going to "reset" her eating habits to "get back in control of how I want to live".

"Time for a reset. I'm clearing out my fridge," she said on Instagram early last year before promoting the benefits of WW. "It brings you back to center. It helps me stay on track," she added.

Oprah joined WW in August 2015 and 15 months later she shared her joy over losing more than 40lbs while still being able to eat the foods she enjoys. "Since I've started Weight Watchers, I've lost over 40 lbs," she said in an ad for the company.
"I can honestly tell you; I struggle no more. I'm eating everything I love — tacos, pasta. I've never felt deprived."

"I would say to anyone who's thinking of joining Weight Watchers: Take the leap. And get about the business of enjoying a fantastic and full life."
It's not just her eating habits that she changed as she kicked up her exercise routine too. "I try to do something every day that allows me to feel active, and I don't make myself crazy about it," she told People.

In the January 2016 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, she touched on why she decided to join the program, writing: "I was fed up with my lose-and-gain again routine. I had enough of no-carb regimens. Some people can live without bread and pasta, but it just doesn't make sense to me."
