Oprah's Satin Wide-Leg Pants Are a Comfortable and Elegant Alternative to Holiday Dresses — Get the Look from $18 - PEOPLE

Oprah Winfrey is giving purple a moment — and with good reason. The media mogul is producing the highly anticipated musical adaption of Alice Walker's The Color Purple, and to celebrate the upcoming release of the film, she visited the Empire State Building to watch it turn (you guessed it) purple.

And her outfit explored one of Hollywood's top pants trends, but with an elegant twist. Naturally, the star was dressed head-to-toe in the bold shade, opting for a monochrome look layered beneath a sparkly ombre duster coat. Her trousers had a comfy wide-leg silhouette, finished in a satin material that's so stylish for the holiday season.

It's no secret that wide-leg pants are ultra-trendy right now, with stars like Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lawrence, and Taylor Swift spotted in various pairs this fall. A satin finish to the pants instantly dresses up the comfortable style, making it an ideal choice for holiday parties, work, and other festive occasions you have this winter.
