Oprah Winfrey attended one of the most controversial weddings of the year at the weekend – but it was one particular detail that has left people talking.
The 71-year-old former talk show host showed off her slim figure in a fitted tee and blue-leggings after a workout with Gayle King, 70, on Friday ahead of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos’ Venetian wedding.
The duo were photographed after they had bumped into recently single Orlando Bloom, 48, on their workout, who chatted with the pair before continuing on his run.
However, it wasn’t just the celebrity-spotting that amused fans – because it was actually a small white tag still attached to Oprah’s hat that caused the biggest stir.
‘Why does Oprah have a tag on her cap?’ one user commented on a series of photos showing the group chatting on the streets of the island.
Many users joked it looked as though the media mogul was looking to return the item to the store after wearing it.
‘She is going to return it later?’ one user joked.
‘She’s returning it duh?’ agreed another.
Others had other suggestions as to what the white rectangle could, including hinting it was where she kept her hotel key card.

Described as the ‘wedding of a century,’ Bezos and Sanchez exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy.
The Bezos wedding began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice — but sources revealed that the lovebirds were married ahead of the weekend bash.
A-list stars have flocked to the floating city to attend the lavish wedding, however the three-day celebration also sparked backlash, with locals protesting the disruption and criticizing the pair’s decision to wed in the historic city.
Many celebrities reveled in the opportunity to parade their slimmer bodies amid the Ozempic trend sweeping Hollywood.
Oprah was amongst them, looking more confident than ever at the pre-wedding party while sporting a purple and white-colored ensemble with small cutouts on the sides that showcased her shrinking midriff, having lost 50lbs.
The former talk show host has showed off her slimmer figure in recent months – such as when she made an appearance at the 2025 Tony Awards in NYC.
She continued to flaunt her new figure on the Sanchez-Bezos wedding day, wearing a fitted dusty pink gown, which featured her cinched waist.
Structural draping helped accentuate Winfrey’s hour glass shape, while the frothy chiffon sleeves and skirt added a soft touch to the designer frock.

The Emmy winner wore her shoulder length dark hair in a half-ponytail, and accessorized with dangling diamond earrings.
Back in 2023, the star admitted to taking weight loss medication and at the time she told People, ‘I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing…
‘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.’
Winfrey added, ‘I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself’ and explained she had recommended weight loss drugs to people before making the choice to also take the medication for herself.
However, despite her weight loss journey being aided by medication, Oprah told the outlet that she also sticks to a fitness regime to also shed pounds, and maintain a lower weight.
And earlier this year in January, the star expressed that taking weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realize the truth about ‘thin people.’
She did so while discussing the function and safety of these types of drugs with Dr. Ania Jastreboff on the latest episode of her podcast.
‘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 confessed. ‘They ate better foods. They were able to stick to it longer. They never had a potato chip.’
But once she started on a GLP-1, Oprah realized that what she initially perceived as ‘willpower’ was actually an absence of intrusive hunger thoughts — often referred to as ‘food noise.’
