Oprah Goes Glam For O Magazine's 15th Anniversary Cover Shoot

They are sewing up my dress so you don't see my bra-ssiere," said Oprah, holding still so tailor Nile Cmylo could stitch the back of her elegant Xscape gown. "And Lord knows I have to wear a bra-ssiere. Bra is not a bad word, people!" Foundation laid, Oprah channeled her inner Elizabeth Taylor to vamp it up old Hollywood–style...until a new problem breezed in. "The wind machine is making my eyes tear," she said, before urging the crew to pick up the pace: "Let's shoot this thing!"

Cmylo amps up the wattage of Oprah's on-trend navy gown by adding Swarovski crystals.

"It's very iconic," said Oprah of the first-ever black-and-white O magazine cover.
