We all know modeling has always been somewhat of a controversial issue. Retailers are often criticized for their depiction of the female body—just yesterday Jezebel recently reported that fast-fashion empire H&M digitally produces the models’ bodies on their website and sticks on a real person’s head in post production. There’s also the whole “do models really eat?” issue, which recently made headlines when Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima revealed her diet prior to the big VS fashion show.  A new documentary About Face, premiering at Sundance next month, is also making headlines for its gritty portrayal of how supermodels like Christie Brinkley, Jerry Hall, Cheryl Tiegs and Christy Turlington were treated during the peak of their careers in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

After 25 years on air, today marks the last The Oprah Show EVER! While we’re all going to be busy shedding a tear (or two, or three) as we watch the Queen of Daytime scream her last scream and say her last goodbye, let’s take a moment to look back at some of Oprah Winfrey’s greatest fashion moments over the years. The inimitable talkshow host-cum-media mogul has gone through many style evolutions since her first show in 1986, but her great love and knowledge of fashion has stayed constant. Through moments of sniffles, take a look at our picks for Winfrey’s best fashion-savvy moments and be sure to tune in at 4pm EST for her final farewell episode. Kleenex at the ready!
