Oprah in Paris!

My best friend Gayle King took this picture of me in front of the Eiffel Tower (wearing Valentino, of course!). I went home and cleaned out my closet, determined to wear only what I love and what makes me feel wonderful, even if it's a pair of sweats. Valentino says your clothes should make you feel alive. They have to live with you and move with you. That's the key to elegance: not just wearing beautiful things but making what you're wearing come alive.
