Oprah opened up about aging in Hollywood and advice she has to offer during a recent podcast appearance with her best friend Gayle King and the noted philanthropist Melinda Gates.
The 70-year-od talk show host — who recently admitted to using weightless drugs after previously saying she would avoid them — took to Instagram on Sunday to share photos and videos of the trio’s conversation on the Moments That Make Us podcast.
She looked elegant in a cropped yellow linen suit coat and a gold blouse, wghich she teamed with matching high-waisted bottoms for the special sit down.
Oprah wrote in the caption: ‘To celebrate turning 60 this summer, @melindafrenchgates sat down with women in different decades of life to discuss getting older, the power of living our truth, and the importance of friendship.
‘Me and @gayleking represented the folks in their 70s! Watch the series, Moments That Make Us, on Melinda’s Youtube or by clicking the link in my bio.’

The 59-year-old ex-wife of billionaire Bill Gates wore a chic maroon turtle neck dress with a thick built-in belt that cinched her waist.
Gayle, 69, boasted a low-cut emerald bodycon dress that hugged her petite frame, which she paired with a dainty silver necklace.
During the podcast episode, Gayle and Oprah first shared their thoughts and experiences with aging in the spotlight.
‘I don’t have hang-ups about age,’ Gayle began. ‘When people say you shouldn’t talk about your age I actually don’t feel that way. When I turned 50, the realization hit me that I wouldn’t live another 50 years.’
Oprah chimed in explaining that she herself does not feel ‘old’ and rejects the concept of seeing age as a negative trait.
‘I never refer to myself as old and I hear lots of people saying that. I don’t even think of myself that way. I was struck by the number 60. I noticed that I would be introduced, even online or in a newspaper, and they would say “60-year-old Oprah Winfrey” that people would be like “Woah, you’re 60,”‘ she shared.
‘I noticed the difference in the way that people perceived me at 60… they started calling me “Ma’am” or “Auntie”. Also I realized that the Auntie thing is very cultural. If you go to other countries where age is respected it’s considered an honor,’ she added.
Melinda went on to ask the two best friends for any advice they have for women going into their forties, fifties and sixties Gayle emphasized positive self-thinking.
‘You can always do better, you can always be better,’ the 69-year-old said. ‘Even as I sit here today people say, “Gayle, I want to be just like you,” I say, “You really don’t. You want to be the best you that you can be.”‘
‘I don’t have have hang-ups about age,’ Gayle began. ‘When people say you shouldn’t talk about your age I actually don’t feel that way. When I turned 50, the realization hit me that I wouldn’t live another 50 years’

Oprah said: ‘One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that change is there to evolve you’
She continued: ‘I always think transition can be a really good thing. I believe in taking risks — don’t take foolish risks — but I believe in betting on myself and if it doesn’t work out that’s on me and that’s okay.’
Oprah chimed in to explain that change can come as a gift, comparing it to trees looking different through various seasons over time.
She said: ‘One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that change is there to evolve you. I live in a place that’s surrounded by trees…I watch how things change and evolve and get better and stronger.
‘What I know is, if you’re paying attention to your life, that life only gets better because everything that shows up is showing up to expand you, to open you, to help you grow into whatever the next level has there for you,’ she finished.
