She wore a Ralph Lauren suit right from her closet for the surprise appearance.
If one thing in our chaotic world is certain, it’s that TV is so good right now.
That much is clear from the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards, where Oprah joined a who’s who of television stars to present the award for Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie to Michael Keaton for Dopesick.
This year, Oprah’s decision to present was partially in support of her newest collaborator, Reginald Hudlin. Just days before the Emmys, Oprah premiered her newest documentary, Sidney, at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Hudlin is Sidney’s director and also a producer of this year’s Emmys.
Oprah brought down the house outfitted in a white floor-length Ralph Lauren tuxedo suit—which she actually pulled from her own closet. She paired that with the lowest heel possible—“’cause I’m done with high heels and hurting feet,” Oprah revealed to us.
“The day finally comes when you realize you don’t have to suffer foot torture to look good. That comes with maturity, folks.”
The look was topped off with a lengthy, sparkling braid. “You heard of diamonds on the soles of your shoes?” Oprah said of the hairstyle. “I like this, little diamonds in your hair.”
As she presented the award—walking out to a standing ovation, no less—Oprah used the moment to share how rare it is to win an Emmy Award.
Prior to the ceremony, Oprah reflected on the speech, sharing: “I was happy to open. The writers came up with some meaningful words that I thought gave a lovely perspective about the odds of actually winning an Emmy.”
