After seeing DianaRoss perform live, OprahWinfrey needed to know her secret to looking so good.
The media mogul recalled the moment when the now-82-year-old singer became her “inspiration and aspiration” in an interview with Glamour. The magazine posted a clip of Winfrey sharing her “Girlhood Firsts” for the outlet’s series on August 5.
“Because if you all remember... There she is. There is a storm that came in Central Park, and she kept singing. It was like pouring rain,” Winfrey said about Ross’ 1983 concert in Central Park. “All you could see was diamond earrings glittering, and her mascara did not run.”
The 72-year-old talk show host called the “Upside Down” singer’s production company the next day. She needed to know how she shined in the unfortunate weather.
“I asked them what was the mascara and how many carats of diamonds [Ross’ earrings weighed], and they told me 10 carats, so I strived until I could get my first 10 carats.”
She added that Ross used Lancôme waterproof mascara.
The singer inspired Winfrey’s “first diamond stud earrings,” but hers ended up being different than the pair Ross performed in. The media legend shared that Ross later told her the earrings were 5 carats. “I could’ve quit halfway through,” she joked.
Winfrey spoke about other meaningful moments throughout her life in the video.
When asked about the first time she felt “represented in media,” she recalled being 10 years old and seeing Sidney Poitier become the first Black man to win an Academy Award.
"I do distinctly remember being on the linoleum floor,” she said. “And I remember thinking, 'If he could do that, I wonder what I could do?'"
Winfrey also remembered watching The Supremes appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show.
“We had never seen anything like that. We had not seen Black women look like that, we had not seen Black women be that glamorous, we had not seen Black women talk like that. It was incredible.”
