I like the way Oprah looks here. And I think the stylist slapped her into a Scarlett O'Hara corset to pull things together. http://imeanwhat.com

Yeah I want to know who thought this is questionable. Other magazines are kinky, like Cosmo or have actresses that are so skinny they should be air-brushed putting weight on them. This is by far a decent cover with a fun, summer outfit.

I like the outfit. It's just right for summer. The hair is another matter, too flat. I say a top knot would of worked.

hmmm, either this is photo shopped to reduce here down from what I saw of her 2 months ago. She did not look like this...what gives with PhotoShop? Geeezzzzzo

Anyway, it is a non issue with the outfit. It goes perfectly with the environment she is in. Farmer's market, flowers and earthly style but nicely dressed for a pretty day out. Bohemian day fashionable.

WTF?? What's so questionable about her outfit????

She is over 50...it's cute, and age appropriate. She's in a garden. It's supposed to be laid back.

I agree. I like it. Summery look.

The poll's choices for response are limited and do not include even reasonable option like "it's okay."

Therefore, the poll will not accurately reflect the viewpoints of people visiting this folder because either they will be force dto choose between two responses that do not accurately reflect their opinion, or they will, like me, simply not answer the poll.

All of that being said, It looks okay on her. It looks summery, relaxed, and colorful.

I like it, it suits the "summer flowers" theme of the shoot.

Not loving the horizontal stripes on the skirt or the pink pared with orange/purple. The blouse is pretty and I get the summer look, just think a different skirt would be better. cheryl mikela

I voted "miss," but it ties in with the subject of the cover - natural, earth, simple, basic - a peasant dress, really.

I am a big Oprah fan. She has done so much for the world.

It doesn't make sense why you voted "miss" then!

What's questionable? It's summer and she's surround by fresh produce in a market or country/rural environment. Her attire is perfect. What's with the stooooopid article/poll/headline?

I think the outfit is perfect, it captures the market with all the colours of summer and is appropriate for the occasion.

I like it. It's casual. It looks comfortable. And it's something I would wear.

I like a lot of color and so I am fine with the outfit. What I am not so fine about is how she allows the magazine to severely tweak her actual looks. That smaller waist......I don't think so.

but we don't actually see her waist, as it's partially hidden by her basket. plus the 3/4 stance is more flattering (and thinning) than a full-on shot.

Last time I saw her on tv she was battling her weight again. As women age it is harder to keep those pounds off your middle. I know. Mine won't go away. I can't photoshop myself.
