Oprah Winfrey wraps herself in a cashmere blanket in NYC… after a Broadway date with her BFF Gayle King

Self-made mogul Oprah Winfrey wrapped herself in a luxe striped cashmere blanket as she checked out of the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown on Thursday after enjoying her first trip to Manhattan in three years.

The Mississippi-born billionaire, who turned 69 on Jan. 29, also wore a gray cashmere-knit turtleneck, matching pants and boots.

Oprah, who underwent double knee surgery in 2021, wore round glasses over her made-up complexion and styled her raven locks into a cheeky ponytail for her travels.

On Wednesday night, Winfrey reunited with her 47-year-old best friend — CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King — to see the Broadway revival of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Piano Lesson at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

Backstage, the OWN CEO gushed to director LaTanya Richardson Jackson that the drama was “amazing, outstanding,” and the 68-year-old journalist praised the cast, saying it was “worth staying up late on a school night,” according to the Oprah Daily.

Oprah and Gayle – who posed with Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Brooks and John David Washington – famously spent the night together when they first met due to a blizzard in Baltimore in 1976, but they’re not lesbian lovers.

“I understand why people think we’re gay,” Winfrey admitted to O magazine in 2006.

“In our culture, there is no definition of this type of bond between women. So I see why people need to label it – how can you be that close without it being sexual? I’ve told almost everything there is to tell. All my stuff is out there. People think I’m so ashamed of being gay that I won’t admit it? Oh please.’

Missing from the Big Apple fun was the Emmy and Tony winner’s partner since 1986 — motivational speaker Stedman Graham — who was last seated at the head of the table across from her on Thanksgiving.
