Oprah Winfrey made a spectacular appearance at the after-party for “Coriolanus” at the National Theatre in London on Tuesday. The media mogul brought a timeless touch to the event by stepping out in a Brunello Cucinelli ensemble. She wore a mohair-blend suit in soft, neutral hues. She paired it with a tailored blazer and a flowing skirt with intricate fringe detailing, complete with a matching tie. The ensemble mixed classic tailoring with modern textures, making it the perfect outfit for the occasion.
Winfrey posed for photos alongside her longtime friend, CBS anchor Gayle King, in a metallic red and purple striped dress by Rabanne. King’s look contrasted with Winfrey’s more subdued ensemble, but both outfits brought a balanced dose of boldness to the event.
Director Ava DuVernay joined them, opting for a striking red pinstripe suit; the vibrant, structured silhouette offered a modern twist on the classic silhouette. Meanwhile, the star of the night, Coriolanus actor Oyelowo, flaunted his heritage in a colorful dashiki showcasing his Nigerian roots. The bold blue and yellow pattern added a unique and cultural element to the after-party fashion scene.
The evening celebrated a new production of Shakespeare’s political tragedy, Coriolanus, which explores the complexities of pride, power and people’s shifting loyalties. Directed by Lindsay Turner, this contemporary version highlights the intensity of political ambition and social betrayal through Oyelowo’s performance as the tragic hero, Gaius Martius Coriolanus.
