Southern Belles

Naomi, Marva and Gayle
4 of 16
After picking out a great wedding gift, Oprah went back to the hotel to rest, but Gayle continued to shop. "We're going to church tomorrow in Arkansas," she said. "I don't have any dresses that are appropriate for church."

Without her best friend there to help her pick out an outfit, Gayle got fashion advice from two vocal shoppers—Marva and Naomi. While Marva liked a purple dress that Gayle tried on, Naomi said it was too flashy. The ladies finally agree on a brown dress.

"In honor of Naomi and Marva, I wore the dress today," Gayle says. "Don't you like how perfect strangers take it upon themselves to say, 'Oh, that don't look good,' but I really appreciated it."
