Oprah Winfrey has been wearing Brunello Cucinelli sneakers nonstop this year. While most celebrities have been opting for Adidas Sambas or the Puma Speedcat sneaker, the TV mogul has kept several of the Italian designer’s casual shoes on rotation.
Most recently, in a post shared on her magazine’s Oprah Daily Instagram on Nov. 26, Winfrey was modeling one of the items that she listed as part of her 2024 “Oprah’s Favorite Things” list. In the clip, she is alongside longtime friend Gayle King and the magazine’s Creative Director Adam Glassman wearing some Telfar Puff Hoodie Coats and matching bags.

The Puffer Hoodie is a floor-length coat that combines the two essential winter garments into a single item—a hoodie and a puffer coat. The hood and shoulder area feature a softer material, like the one of a traditional hoodie, while the rest of the coat is made of quilted nylon puff. “We like Telfar and I think this is such a warm coat,” Winfrey says while wearing the cream version of the coat.
“We like it because we like Telfar,” King adds while showing off her look in a yellow coat and matching bad. “The color and the bag together it’s very chic, we like it. and he’s got good color variety, too.”
While King wore a pair of her go-to blue Sneex on her feet, Winfrey opted for a pair of Monili Trim Platform Sneaker by Brunello Cucinelli, which retail for $995. The shoes are a polyester knit and suede low-top sneakers with metallic beaded monili detailing.
The Italian made sneaker feature a flat heel, a round embellished-cap toe, a lace-up vamp, a cushioned footbed, a rubber outsole, and leather lining.
Winfrey has been rocking a variety of Cucinelli’s sneakers, and dressing them up and down for a range of events. Most recently, she showed her support for Kamala Harris taking the stage at a rally in Philadelphia ahead of the presidential election wearing a pair of white leather sneakers with molini mesh to the event. She wore a pair of white and gray canvas sneakers from the luxury brand while out and about in NYC in the summer, and again in September while heading to a taping of “Good Morning America.”
