The host of “The View” dazzled the Parisian fashion scene by wearing an eye-catching ensemble that had cameras and fans talking. Read on to find out why everyone is talking about it!
On January 22, 2025, during Paris Fashion Week, Whoopi Goldberg made a daring appearance at the AMI – Alexandre Mattiussi Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 show. Fans were impressed by the star’s eye-catching all-black outfit, which attracted attention.
Goldberg chose black heeled boots and a long, belted satin trench coat with gold accents. She added a tiny black purse with a gold heart emblem to complete the understated yet stylish ensemble.
Her natural dreadlocks and trademark round eyeglasses finished off the sophisticated yet modest ensemble.
The event was held in Paris, France, and Goldberg’s presence gave the eagerly awaited fashion show a hint of Hollywood glitz.
On social media, Goldberg’s appearance generated a lot of responses, with many people remarking on her appearance and obvious change.
A number of users posted their opinions on Facebook. “She lost weight,” one person wrote. “Wow, she lost weight,” said another commenter.
“She looks stunning,” one admirer commented. Another user added, “Wow.” “[She] looks healthy and I’m glad she got that weight off,” said another internet user.
On Instagram, similar sentiments echoed. “[Whoopi] has lost so much weight,” one user wrote. Another remarked, “She looks so much thinner [sic]?” “Whoopi is getting prettier by day,” commented a fan.
Goldberg’s transformation and stunning fashion choice have clearly struck a chord with her fans, fueling discussions about her evolving style and appearance.
When speaking with Interview Magazine’s editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg during the Paris Fashion Week event, Goldberg shared details about her outfit.
“This is something AMI sent me,” Goldberg explained. “The shoes are a little adult for me because I don’t normally do this, and they put me in stockings because the dress has a slit. But I’m so glad that they did it. They said, ‘Come be with us.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’”
She even humorously revealed that she momentarily left her “The View” hosting duties to attend the show, quipping, “I’ll be back.”
Goldberg’s appearance comes on the heels of her candid revelations about her weight loss journey. During a March 2024 episode of “The View,” the Emmy Award winner opened up about her struggles with weight, sharing that she weighed nearly 300 pounds while filming the 2022 movie “Till.”
“One of the things that’s helped me drop the weight is Mounjaro, that’s what I use,” Goldberg stated, adding that she has always approached weight fluctuations with self-confidence. “My weight has gone and come and gone and up and down, but it’s never been an issue for me because I don’t listen to what other people say about me, so it has never been a problem.”
The actress and TV personality also stressed the significance of reframing cultural discourse regarding body image. “The key is to stop judging everyone for their bodies,” she stated, promoting body positivity and self-acceptance.
Goldberg’s association with AMI extends beyond her previous performance at the runway presentation. In November 2024, she starred in the brand’s Fall-Winter 2024 campaign, as published in a YouTube video labeled, “Friend of the House Whoopi Goldberg stars in our new Fall-Winter 2024 Campaign.”
An Instagram post on the same day had Goldberg expressing her excitement about the collaboration. “Tried something new lately and shot this campaign with @amiparis. It was very wonderful #AmiParis #AmiFW24 @alexandremattiussi9 @rahimfortune.”
Goldberg’s fun was evident in another collaborative post with AMI on November 17, 2024, where she finished a video by saying, “Who wants a cold croissant?”
In the video, Goldberg sported a camel-colored trench coat with luxurious faux fur sleeves and striking gold buttons, teamed with huge sunglasses. Her confident pose and sparkling smile accentuated her dazzling energy and aptitude for fashion.
Whoopi Goldberg’s cooperation with AMI and her ongoing transformation continues to elicit respect from fans, showcasing her ability to inspire confidence and accept new opportunities.
