Whoopi Goldberg unveils makeover in Paris after weight loss drugs helped her slim down from 300lbs

Whoopi Goldberg looked svelte amid her weight loss journey as she was pictured at an event for Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.

The 69-year-old star, whose real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson, looked sleek in an all-black silk outfit with a belt with gold loops, as she attended the Alexandre Mattiussi fall 2025 fashion show.

The EGOT-winning entertainer rounded out her ensemble with black-frame round eyeglᴀsses, black boots and a leather purse from the brand, People reported.

The Academy Award-winning Ghost star was on hand in Paris two months after she was the showcased star for Ami’s fall/winter 2024 campaign in November.

Goldberg last March said on her ABC series The View that she had incorporated the use of the weight loss drug Mounjaro into her regimen.

‘I will tell you, you know, I weighed almost 300 pounds when I made Till,’ she said of making the motion picture for filmmaker Chinonye Chukwu in late 2021.

In the segment on the ABC series last spring, Goldberg implored viewers to ‘stop judging everybody’ based on what they look like.

‘Maybe that’s the key – because, listen, when I realized how much I had put on, because … I always felt like me,’ Goldberg said. ‘And then I saw me and I thought, “Oh, that’s a lot of me.”‘

Goldberg was seen Wednesday alongside French actor Omar Sy, 47, in footage from the show featured on WWD’s Instagram page.

Sy introduced the ABC personality to Hélène Sy in the clip, and they shook hands as pH๏τographers sH๏τ pictures of the celebrities.

The New York City native told WWD of attending the Ami event, ‘They were kind enough to ask me if I would come, and I said yes.’

Goldberg, a noted critic of President Donald Trump, said she was ‘very happy’ during her trip to France.

‘People seem to be all right with me here, and I seem to be OK with them so far – so it’s all good,’ Goldberg said.

Ami Paris said last fall that Goldberg’s pH๏τoshoot with pH๏τographer Rahim Fortune captured her ‘essence’ in the form of ‘a contagious smile, charismatic stature and tender glance.’

The brand continued, ‘AMI has worked since its creation to define and complete the most articulate, comprehensive, pragmatic wardrobe for men and women.’

Goldberg, speaking with Page Six in October 2023, said that she had an aversion to high-end fashion ensembled after ​​’everyone hated’ the ensemble she wore to the Oscars in 1993.

Goldberg donned a green and purple bolero-like jacket and pantsuit to the proceedings, and said she was slammed by the media and critics over the outfit. 

‘It hurt my feelings, I’m not going to lie,’ Goldberg said. ‘It hurt my feelings … you have to remember, in those days, they would say things and you’d think, “Do I really look that ridiculous?”‘ 

Goldberg said of the slights: ‘It kept me from dressing up for a very long time.’

Goldberg last month appeared in the Broadway production of Annie, playing Miss Hannigan.
