Slimmed-down Oprah Winfrey flashed a wave as she headed into a California bookstore for a talk with the author of a new book about Ozempic.

The former talk show host, 70, showcased her leaner figure in a form-fitting khaki jumpsuit.

Sporting a pair of oversized glasses and tan flats, Oprah – who once weighed as much as 237lb – cut an elegant figure as she arrived at Godmothers bookstore in Summerland.

The billionaire businesswoman was at the event to interview Johann Hari, author of Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs.

Her interest in the topic is no surprise, given her own dieting struggles and her admission last December that she used a weight-loss drug to achieve her newly fit and trim figure. She did not identify which drug she took.

The disclosure led to Oprah stepping down from the board of Weight Watchers back in March after a decade with the company.

She came well prepared to the event and was seen heading into the venue with a copy of the book, filled with Post-it notes marking the different pages she wanted to discuss.

Saturdays ticketed talk sold out almost as soon as it went live on the book stores website.

The doors of the store closed at 2pm in anticipation of the event, which wasnt set to start for a full three hours. Regular customers who were unaware of the session were promptly turned away at the door.

Oprahs three-man security team was dressed in black and stood blocking two parking spaces in the lead up to the affair.

Oprah, who once famously said that making fun of her weight had become a national sport arrived a half-hour early with a female assistant at the wheel of her Range Rover SUV.

Oprah stepped out looking stunning, in full stage makeup, highlights in her hair and gold earrings and bracelets complimenting her linen jumpsuit.

Just before the event, Fast and Furious actress Jordana Brewster was seen rushing in, followed minutes later by Glee star Jane Lynch and her wife Jennifer Cheyne.

Johann Hari – author of the bestselling books Lost Connections and Stolen Focus – spent over an hour with Oprah talking about his book.

According to Godmothers website, Magic Pill offers a revelatory look at the drugs that are transforming weight-loss as we know it. 

It addresses our ability (or inability) to heal our societys dysfunctional relationship with food, weight, and our bodies, as Hari speaks to his personal experience on Ozempic it adds.

A professional catering company served up wine and and hors dœuvres during the two hour event.

Oprah left around 7 pm, but not before chatting up and hugging many of the attendees.

The venue chosen for the interview was Godmothers, a newly-opened safe space already frequented by several A listers.

The local bookstore with a global dream opened with a star-studded event attended by what they call hometown authors such as Meghan Markle, Ellen DeGeneres and  Portia de Rossi.

Oprah was also in attendance at the grand opening last month and is said to have a financial stake in the store.

Godmothers is housed in a converted 1920s barn in the quaint seaside enclave of Summerland just minutes away from Oprah Winfreys $50 million estate.

Upon entering, customers are greeted by two walls of inspirational Godmothers who lit our way – including Oprah.

The store took its name from comments by Prince Harry in which he referred to Oprah as one of his fairy godmothers.

Other female Godmothers include pilot Amelia Earhart, scientist Marie Curie, civil rights activist Rosa Parks, poet Maya Angelou, and astronaut Sally Ride.
