Oprah Winfrey showed off her slim figure as she made an appearance at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado on Saturday.

During the screening of the forthcoming documentary film, the billionaire businesswoman also took part in a discussion on stage in front of a live audience.

She added a white tank top underneath and slipped into a pair of brown boots for a final touch.
Her locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in voluminous waves.

Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Winfrey for comment, but has yet to hear back.
Winfrey's appearance at the event over the weekend took place after she has recently gotten candid about her dramatic weight loss.
Earlier this year in January, the TV host revealed that she had reached the weight of 155lbs, which is 82 pounds less than when she was at her heaviest.
While stopping by The View that same month, she opened up about her struggles with weight and claimed an 'obesity gene' caused her to overeat.
She had stopped by the talk show at the time to promote her book Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, And What It's Like To Be Free.

'All these years... I was standing there with all the food noise, [thinking about] what I ate, what I should eat, how many calories was [in what I ate].
'And how long it was going to take [to burn off]. And I thought that was because of me and that it was my fault,' Winfrey explained.
She further said that she now 'understands that if you carry the obesity gene, that is what makes you overeat. You don't overeat and become obese, obesity causes you to overeat.
'Obesity causes you to have all that food noise. What GLP-1s have done for me and a number of other people is quiet that noise.'
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that 'no single genetic cause has been identified' when it comes to obesity.
In the early 90s, the author had weighed 237lbs at one point, which was the heaviest she had been.
'I thought it was about discipline and willpower. But I stopped blaming myself,' she told People last year. 'I feel more alive and more vibrant than I've ever been.'
Winfrey focuses on various workout routines to also help herself stay in shape such as running on the treadmill, hiking or weight lifting.

During an appearance on Today earlier this year, Winfrey recalled gaining weight back when she attempted to stop taking the GLP-1 medication.
'I was off of the medications all last year, and I gained 20 pounds because I wanted to test it,' the star recalled.
'Because everybody was saying, "you're going to gain the weight"... I'm going to show them... I'm going to hike.'
Winfrey added, 'And then I was taking it, then I got off of it, and then I gained three pounds, and I gained five pounds, and I gained 10 pounds, and before you know it, the [food] noise was back.'
The star explained that despite still eating healthy, she continued to gain pounds back when off the medication.
Back in 2023, Winfrey admitted to taking a weight loss drug and told People at the time, 'I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing...'
She added, '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.
'I'm absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself,' the star said.

During one of her previous podcast episodes, the star had a discussion about GLP-1 medication with Dr. Ania Jastreboff.
'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 had more willpower.'
She then explained that what she had thought was 'willpower' was actually the absence of 'food noise.'
'And then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, they're not even thinking about it. They're eating when they're hungry and they're stopping when they're full.'
