TV personality Oprah, 71, looked incredible as she displayed her weight loss in a fitted blue T-shirt and ribbed leggings. The talk show host - who once topped the scales at 237lbs in 1992 - finally reached her 160lb goal weight in 2023 after undergoing double-knee replacement surgery in 2021. After vehemently denying she had ever taken weight loss drugs, she finally admitted to taking them in a shock interview.

The pair may have been on holiday but they were determined not to let their fitness levels drop She also dressed casually in a blue vest, teamed with a pair of fitted shorts. The duo bumped into Orlando, 48, on their workout, who chatted with the pair before continuing with his run. Earlier in the day the group had enjoyed breakfast at the Gritti Hotel amid the wedding celebrations, which are expected to continue until Sunday. A-list stars have flocked to the romantic city to attend the lavish wedding reveling in the opportunity to parade their slimmer bodies amid the Ozempic trend sweeping Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, looked considerably thinner as he arrived for the celebrations, although his method for recently transforming from tubby to trim remains a mystery. Kim Kardashian, 44, and her sisters also showcased their impossibly small waistlines. Her sister Khloe, 41, also showed off her gym-honed figure into a simple black summer dress as she went shopping with her leopard print clad mother Kris Jenner. But the bride-to-be was not to be outdone - with Sanchez, 55, wearing the most eye-popping corset of all to her pre-wedding party at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters on Thursday night.

Oprah looked more confident than ever at the pre-wedding party while sporting a purple and white-colored ensemble with small cutouts on the sides that showcased her shrinking midriff. The former talk show host has showed off her slimmer figure in recent months - such as when she made an appearance at the 2025 Tony Awards in NYC. Back in 2023, the star admitted to taking weight loss medication and at the time she told People, 'I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing... 'The fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.' Winfrey added, 'I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself' and explained she had recommended weight loss drugs to people before making the choice to also take the medication for herself. However, despite her weight loss journey being aided by medication, Oprah told the outlet that she also sticks to a fitness regime to also shed pounds, and maintain a lower weight. And earlier this year in January, the star expressed that taking weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realize the truth about 'thin people.' Oprah - who has lost nearly 50 pounds with the aid of one of the newly popular weight-loss drugs - was seen arriving to Venice on Thursday She once again gave a glimpse at her smaller frame as she attended a party later on Thursday while sporting a purple and white-colored ensemble with small cutouts on the sides Kim Kardashian has also recently sparked surgery speculation as she continues to flashy her very tiny waistline. As she arrived to Venice on Thursday, the TV personality showcased her sculpted midriff in a Balenciaga outfit. The mom-of-four donned a strapless, black bandeau top as well as a maxi skirt and snakeskin boots. Her slim waist was further put on display as she later also stopped by the star-studded bash in a snakeskin Versace dress that clung to her curves and had small cutouts on the front. Bedazzled embellishments were added on the plunging neckline as well as the straps that wrapped around her shoulders. The star's long dark locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Kim has briefly opened up about her size in the past, such as in 2018 when Elle Magazine reported that she had a 24 inch waist and hips that measured 39 inches. The media personality also notably dropped 21 pounds in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress for the Met Gala back in 2022. The bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez also flaunted her slim waist while heading to Thursday's party in Venice. She wore a strapless gold dress with a fitted, corset bodice as well as intricate embroidery on the skirt and top portion. The journalist slipped into a pair of closed-toed, gold pumps and styled her locks into a chic ponytail. Bezos was seen helping Lauren into a boat as they headed to their next destination and the pair later sent waves to onlookers nearby. Speculation has previously arisen that Sanchez has undergone procedures such as a facelift and injectable fillers. Back in April, she uploaded an Instagram clip ahead of her Blue Origin space trip - and plastic surgeons told that they believe she had additional fillers in her cheeks and lips as well as fresh Botox around her eyes at the time. Khloe Kardashian was also seen joining her mom Kris Jenner and most of her siblings during the wedding extravaganza this week. The Good American founder put on a stylish display wearing a fitted dress with small cutouts on the material and a lowcut neckline. Earlier in the day, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing an animal-print jumpsuit as she arrived to Venice. Last week on her Khloe In Wonder Land podcast, she addressed the 'gross' reaction that she got over her weight loss. 'The bigger I was, I was way more confident. I think because, like, what are going to say about me? I know all the things you're going to say. I would have my days that I would feel low and all of that.' She added, 'When I started my fitness journey and, like, becoming in shape, I felt such a need that I had to keep this up, like even if it wasn't for me. I felt like, "Well, I can't get fat again, because everyone is expecting that to happen." 'It was also a different type of attention I was now receiving. And then once I got a little older, I was like, "Wait, this is gross." I hated that that's why I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way.' Khloe later reflected, 'I've learned, no matter what, I'm never going to make people happy because I was once bigger, I was thinner, and I had the same amount of people, but from different ends.' Gayle King - who has also recently showed off her slimmed-down look - was also spotted during the festivities on Thursday. The TV personality was seen arriving to the Venice Marco Polo airport wearing a long-sleeved white top as well as pastel green cargo pants. Gayle King - who has also recently showed off her slimmed-down look - was also spotted during the festivities on Thursday King later dressed to impress alongside Oprah wearing a yellow and white-colored dress for the bash. In recent months, fans have begun to speculate that Gayle may have also used Ozempic to help aid in weight loss. Slimmed-down Leonardo DiCaprio was also seen making an appearance on Thursday with his supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. The Titanic actor wore a classic black suit as well as a white dress shirt and a black cap that was placed on top of his head. Fans had previously pointed out the Oscar winner's fuller figure but he appears to have gone back to his leaner frame in the latest outing this week. Bezos and Sanchez's $20 million ceremony will take place on Friday - although it was revealed on Thursday that the couple are already legally married. A source told 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' They added, 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. Slimmed-down Leonardo DiCaprio was also seen making an appearance on Thursday with his supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti Bezos and Sanchez's $20 million ceremony will take place on Friday - although it was revealed on Thursday that the couple are already legally married; seen in May in France 'There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required. 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning,' the insider continued. It was also added that the billionaire confirmed both he and Lauren are legally married and that they have signed a prenuptial agreement as well. The A-list guests that are attending the wedding - including the Kardashian/Jenner clan - are staying at five star hotels in Venice such as the Aman, The Gritti Palace and the Cipriani.

Oprah Winfrey shows off CINCHED waist amid Ozempic journey at Bezos wedding
Oprah Winfrey flaunted her toned curves at the wedding of the year on Friday. The media mogul, 71, was one of the many A-list guests at the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. The former talk show host, who has been open about using Ozempic to help her lose and maintain her shapely form, was a vision in a fitted dusty pink gown, which featured her cinched waist. Structural draping helped accentuate Winfrey's hour glass shape, while the frothy chiffon sleeves and skirt added a soft touch to the designer frock. The Emmy winner wore her shoulder length dark hair in a half-ponytail, and accessorized with dangling diamond earrings. She was seen waving to fans as she prepared to board a gondola to take her and other guests from the Gritti Palace hotel to the ceremony at the San Giorgio Maggiore Basilica. Winfrey seemed to be the plus-one of her best friend Gayle King, 70. The CBS Morning anchor got to know both Sanchez and Bezos when she was part of the all-female Blue Origin crew, which blasted into space in April. King looked elegant in a flowing one-shoulder reddish-orange gown with a flowing A-line skirt. Other guests included: Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, Diane von Furstenberg, Usher, President Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner. When Winfrey kicked off her new podcast in December 2024, one of the first topics she tackled was her use of Ozempic and why she felt it was such an important tool in weight loss. The Oprah Winfrey Show star has publicly battled her weight for years. The drugs mimic the hormone GLP-1, which the body releases after eating, helping people feel full and slowing stomach emptying. 'One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people just had more willpower, they ate better foods, they were able to stick to it longer, they never had a potato chip,' she told the audience. Structural draping helped accentuate Winfrey's hour glass shape, while the frothy chiffon sleeves and skirt added a soft touch to the designer frock 'Then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, "Oh, they're not even thinking about it. They're only eating when they're hungry, and they're stopping when they're full."' Although hesitant to 'take the easy way out,' she finally began taking the drug in 2023, and lost 50 pounds. The 1619 Project producer said she came to realize that obesity is a disease, like alcoholism. Winfrey said she has come to realize that taking the medication for the disease of obesity is not the easy way out and that weight gain 'is a symptom of' obesity.

At the time, Gayle hit back at critics during an interview with People and told the publication that anyone 'criticizing it doesn't really understand what is happening here.' 'We can all speak to the response we're getting from young women from young girls about what this represents,' the journalist told the publication in defense of the mission.

Orlando Bloom Reportedly Said What Everyone Else Was Thinking About Katy Perry's Blue Origin Flight
Katy Perry's trip to space may have lasted just 11 minutes, but the fallout has been far more long-lasting — especially at home. The pop star and her longtime fiancé Orlando Bloom are reportedly navigating a serious rough patch after an 'explosive' fight about her Blue Origin space flight, led by Lauren Sánchez. The real issue? It wasn't just the memes or the daisy moment in zero gravity. It's what the space trip represented. 'He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,' a source close to Perry told the Daily Mail. 'He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing.' For Perry, who has been under intense public scrutiny following the lukewarm reception to her album 143 and underperforming Lifetimes tour, the criticism stung — especially coming from Bloom. 'Imagine going to space — motherf****** space — and your partner isn't impressed,' the source added. 'Of course she was hurt.' More from SheKnows Why Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Love Story Might Not Be Over Yet The flight, which featured an all-female crew including Gayle King and Sánchez, was meant to be a milestone. Perry sang 'What a Wonderful World' in zero gravity, held up a daisy in honor of her daughter, and kissed the ground when she landed. What she hoped would be a transcendent, grounding moment quickly became internet fodder. Users mocked her actions as performative. The daisy, the song choice, even the silence when asked to sing 'Roar' — all of it was repackaged into memes and met with eye rolls. But it didn't end there. As Perry continues the international leg of her tour, Bloom is preparing to attend the three-day wedding celebration of Jeff Bezos and Sánchez in Venice — solo. Despite Perry's preexisting show dates in Australia, insiders say her exclusion goes beyond scheduling. 'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his,' one source explained. 'She feels like it's a 'f*** you' to her from him.' The irony isn't lost on Perry: Bloom is attending the wedding of the people behind the space mission he openly mocked. 'That's difficult for her to accept,' the source continued. 'They're already spiraling and now the wedding is another thing they have to fight about.' The tension isn't new. Behind the scenes, Bloom has reportedly been frustrated by Perry's recent career decisions, from working with controversial producer Dr. Luke to the splashy rollout of 143. The backlash snowballed — lukewarm reviews, sluggish ticket sales, and a tour that hasn't quite clicked. Behind the scenes, Bloom reportedly urged her to slow down. Not out of control, but out of care. 'He advised her against this album. She did it. He advised her against space. She did it,' another inside shared. 'From where Orlando stands, all he ever wanted was for Katy to be herself.' Still, the couple — who first met in 2016 and share a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove — don't seem to be calling it quits, at least not yet. 'A breakup isn't imminent,' another source noted. 'But they both know they should focus on their relationship before it does become too late.'Best of SheKnows A Look Back at Prince William's Sexiest Photos in Celebration of the Future King Amanda Bynes, & More Celebrities Who Joined OnlyFans Over the Years Every Woman Prince William Was Rumored To Have Dated Before Marrying Kate Middleton
