Do you ever just think about Oprah Winfrey. Note that wasn't a question, because duh, of course you think about Oprah, probably a lot.

Here's one more reason to think about Oprah today: Her head-to-toe gold ensemble, worn to The Hollywood Reporter's Empowerment in Entertainment event in Los Angeles. The look comes courtesy of Ralph Lauren, who provided her with this pleated knit dress, gold belt and gold T-strap heels. But Oprah didn't stop there — oh, no! She added in stacks of gold bracelets, gold hoop earrings with pearls and a 24-karat smile. She even matched her glasses to her outfit. An icon. 

If I had one minor nitpick, it would be the fit of her bra, but honestly, I can hardly blame a garment for being unable to hold itself together in the presence of Oprah. We can all relate to that.

Oprah’s Favorite Fashion Things, Then and Now

Oprah's final "Favorite Things" episode aired this past week. If you haven't watched the crowd reactions already, you should (or check out audience reactions from the whole last season on this awesome tumblr). Everyone went nuts. Of course, if I was being gifted a 2012 Volkswagon Beetle, an iPad, and some Le Creuset cookware, I'd be doing a happy dance too. Having your product on Oprah's "Favorite Things" things list is akin to having your book chosen for her book club--meaning it will sell. And often, Oprah's favorite stuff is beauty and fashion-related (but the fashion tends to be on the comfort-end--nothing wrong with that). Previously Oprah-endorsed favorite things like Spanx and Uggs became ubiquitous best-sellers after earning a spot on the "Favorite Things" list, according to AOL's Small Business site. Her "Favorite Things" episode has even saved some companies from the brink of bankruptcy. So we decided to take a look at this year's fashion and beauty-related "favorite things" as well as "favorite things" of years past (yes, J.Lo's velour sweatsuit was on the list in '02). Are any of them your favorite things too?
