Oprah With No Makeup: Wigging Out on Set!

Having just seen Oprah Winfrey’s natural hair on the cover of O, we’ve now been treated to another photo of it, courtesy of her Twitter feed. Oprah is also wearing no makeup in the pic, a rare sight. “Me and all my ‘girls’ in the makeup trailer,” the fresh-faced 58-year-old wrote while displaying seven of her wigs on the set of The Butler . Here’s Winfrey prepping to shoot her upcoming movie: The Butler will mark Oprah’s return to the big screen for the first time as a character other than herself since 1998’s landmark Beloved .
