Oprah Marries Classic Tailoring and Contemporary Texture in Brunello Cucinelli With Gayle King in Rabanne for ‘Coriolanus’ Premiere
Oprah Winfrey made a grand appearance at the after party for “Coriolanus,” held at the National Theatre in London on Tuesday. The media mogul stepped out in an ensemble from Brunello Cucinelli, adding a timeless touch to the event. She wore a mohair-blend suit in a soft, neutral shade. The look featured a tailored blazer and a flowing skirt with intricate fringe detailing, paired with a matching tie. The ensemble embodied a mix of classic tailoring and modern texture, perfect for the occasion.
Winfrey posed for photos alongside longtime friend and CBS anchor Gayle King, who donned a metallic red and purple striped dress by Rabanne. King’s look contrasted sharply with Winfrey’s more subdued outfit, yet both outfits brought a balance of boldness to the event.

Joining them was director Ava DuVernay, who opted for a striking red pin-stripe suit. The vibrant, structured silhouette added a contemporary twist to a classic silhouette. Meanwhile, Oyelowo, the star of the evening and leading man of “Coriolanus,” embraced his heritage with a colorful dashiki, showcasing his Nigerian roots. The bold pattern in blue and yellow hues added a unique, cultural element to the after-party’s fashion scene.
The night celebrated the new production of “Coriolanus,” Shakespeare’s political tragedy that delves into the complexities of pride, power and the public’s shifting loyalties. Directed by Lyndsey Turner, this modern retelling highlights the intensity of political ambition and societal betrayal through Oyelowo’s performance as the tragic hero, Caius Martius Coriolanus.
