Whoopi Goldberg stepped out in style on Wednesday, trading her usual casual wardrobe for a stunning new look at an event during Paris Fashion Week.
The 69-year-old The View star, known for her preference for relaxed fashion, made a striking impression as she attended Alexandre Mattiussi’s Fall 2025 show. Goldberg’s glamorous appearance showcased her versatility and undeniable presence on the fashion scene.
Whoopi Goldberg showcased her newly slimmed-down figure in a stunning black silk wrap dress that gracefully fell just above her ankles. The elegant outfit, cinched at the waist with a belt featuring gold loops, highlighted her refined sense of style.
Adding to her sophisticated look, the actress paired the dress with sleek black heeled boots, a leather purse, and her signature black-framed round spectacles. Her appearance in Paris was nothing short of chic, and it marked a striking departure from her usual laid-back wardrobe.
Interestingly, Whoopi’s trip to Paris and her glamorous transformation come as a surprise, given her previously expressed aversion to high-end fashion.Her metallic brocade green and purple jumpsuit, complete with a bolero-style jacket and open-front skirt, received widespread disapproval at the time, leaving a lasting impression on her views about fashion.
‘It hurt my feelings, I’m not going to lie,” she admitted. “It hurt my feelings… you have to remember, in those days, they would say things and you’d think, ‘Do I really look that ridiculous?'”
Whoopi Goldberg has been candid about her weight loss journey, which began after she reached nearly 300 pounds in 2021. Motivated to make a change, she decided to prioritize her health and took action to shed the excess weight.
Last year, Whoopi shared that she turned to the weight loss medication Mounjaro to help her regain control of her health. She revealed that her decision stemmed from noticing “how much” weight she had gained during the filming of the movie Till.
“When I realized how much I had put on, because… I always felt like me. And then I saw me, and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s a lot of me,'” she joked with her signature humor.
She explained that her weight had gone up and down throughout her life but was never a personal issue because she didn’t let others’ opinions affect her self-image.
“It has never been a problem for me because I don’t listen to what other people say about me,” she said. “But I think it’s very hard for people to just know what a normal weight would be.” Whoopi’s candid reflections offer a refreshing perspective on body image and self-acceptance.
