Whoopi Goldberg Stuns Fans

Whoopi Goldberg made a bold statement at Paris Fashion Week on January 22, 2025, attending the AMI – Alexandre Mattiussi Menswear show in a striking all-black ensemble. She wore a long satin trench coat with gold accents,

black heeled boots, and a small handbag with a gold heart emblem. Her signature round glasses and natural dreadlocks completed the chic look. Fans on social media praised her appearance, with many noting her noticeable weight

loss. Goldberg, who has been open about her weight loss journey, attributed her transformation to the medication Mounjaro and her confidence in her body. She also emphasized body positivity and reframing societal

views on body image. Goldberg has been working with AMI, starring in their Fall-Winter 2024 campaign, and continues to inspire with her evolving style and confidence.

Wearing a silk, all-black ensemble, the singer, actress and producer, 69, accessorized with black-framed glasses and a black leather handbag by the luxury clothing company.

Keeping with her monochromatic theme, Goldberg added black boots for the perfect winter look.

As she sat front row at the event, the Sister Act star was greeted by French actor Omar Sy.

Video from the event shared to WWD’s Instagram account showed the Jurassic World alum introducing his wife, Hélène Sy, before asking Goldberg if he could have a photo with her.

“They were kind enough to ask me if I would come, and I said yes,” the EGOT winner told the outlet of Ami having her as a guest at her first Paris Fashion Week show. “I’m very happy. People seem to be all right with me here, and I seem to be OK with them so far. So it’s all good.”

“This is a one time thing,” she added.

In a social media post uploaded earlier in the day, Ami shared a preview of what fans could expect from the fashion show.

“Soft, daylight-inspired illumination warms the neutral backdrop, a unique experience where every angle and movement captivates,” the brand captioned an Instagram carousel showing a minimalist setup for the evening.

When Goldberg was announced as the face of Ami Paris’ fall/winter 2024 campaign in November, a press release said her photoshoot with photographer Rahim Fortune “[depicted] the essence of Whoopi herself: a contagious smile, charismatic stature and tender glance.”

The Parisian fashion brand added, “AMI has worked since its creation to define and complete the most articulate, comprehensive, pragmatic wardrobe for men and women.”

Goldberg has opened up about her relationship with fashion in the past.

During an October 2023 interview with Page Six Style at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars gala, the Oscar winner recalled how ​​“everyone hated” what she wore to the 1993 Academy Awards.

“It hurt my feelings, I’m not going to lie. It hurt my feelings,” she said of negative comments about her purple and green bolero-esque jacket and pantsuit.

“It kept me from dressing up for a very long time. You have to remember, in those days, they would say things and you’d think, ‘Do I really look that ridiculous?’ ” Goldberg said at the time.

After conquering fashion with endeavors such as her own sweater line and being a brand ambassador for Ami, the Tony Award winner recently returned to the stage as Miss Hannigan in the New York City run of the Annie national tour.
