Oprah Winfrey, who recently attended Paris Fashion Week, responded to mean comments on social media claiming that she was walking like a “90-year-old woman”.
Oprah Winfrey responded to the criticism she received on social media during her appearance at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month, when some internet users pointed out that she walked like a “90-year-old woman”.
The 72-year-old host and her friend Gayle King attended Chloé’s Fall/Winter 2026 show, and images of their arrival at the event show Winfrey walking cautiously, which sparked some mean comments online.
“On the internet, someone was… you know how people criticize you online. So they were criticizing me and Gayle, saying: ‘Just look at how they walk as if they were 90 years old’”, Winfrey said in a video shared on Instagram by a user.
According to Winfrey, a pair of sunglasses she was wearing at the time was what made her walk so carefully.
“So there was a moment when we were entering the Chloé show, and my stylist had just handed me the Chloé sunglasses before I even got out of the car,” she explained. “I wear prescription glasses or contact lenses. So those were not prescription”.
“So I didn’t know where I was going,” she said, laughing. “I couldn’t see!”. “So to everyone saying ‘you’re walking like you’re 90 years old,’ I couldn’t see”.
In the comments on the post, Winfrey’s fans had fun with the story; “Watching the video after Oprah’s explanation makes it even funnier,” wrote one.
“Oprah is funny. We just love her. We love her for living life to the fullest,” commented another.
“This woman doesn’t age! She looks amazing and keeps working, having fun, and staying sharp,” praised a third.
