The iconic structure will be covered in purple lights to honor the film.
Oprah, who starred in the original 1985 film based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, is producing the new musical version.
This incident happened after the mogul appeared with a much slimmer body in a tight lilac dress at the premiere of The Color Purple held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
Oprah Winfrey covered up her newly slimmed down figure with a sparkly purple coat on Tuesday. The media mogul wore a light lavender satin top and pants underneath to look flawless.
Her dull, medium length hair was styled in free waves and the O Magazine distributer decorated with hanging studs and she wore round frameless glasses.
The 1619 Task maker wore similar pants and top when she and Purple star Danielle Streams, 34, came by CBS Mornings for a visit about the film with Oprah’s best pal Gayle Lord.
The meeting started with a Zoom call Oprah made to Danielle telling her she had won the piece of Sofia, in the film.
The entertainer got a Tony designation for her depiction of the personality of Broadway, yet at the same time needed to go through an extensive tryout process with chief Rush Bazawule.
‘At that time, I realized I could feel it in every last bit of my body my life was going to change,’ the Orange The latest trend Dark star conceded.
Oprah, who played Sofia in the 1987 movie coordinated by Steven Spielberg said, ‘I needed to settle on the decision myself since Sofia had been a particularly famous piece of me and Purple has been a particularly astounding piece of my life.’
Oprah acquired an Oscar designation for her depiction of the fiery lady who conquered fierceness and bigotry.
Danielle, who flaunted her bends in a purple slip dress over a long sleeve dark body suit, got a Brilliant Globe selection Monday for her exhibition. It is her most memorable film for a significant studio.

Oprah wore the same slacks and blouse when she and Danielle stopped by CBS Morning to discuss the film. Danielle stars as Sofia in the musical version of the film. Oprah originated the part in the 1987 movie directed by Steven Spielberg
Danielle received a Tony nomination for her portrayal of Sofia in the Broadway musical and was cast to play her in the film. Oprah received her first Oscar nomination for her work in the 1987 film
During the interview, Oprah revealed she was around for much of the filming but wanted to make sure she was around when Danielle had to perform in one of the films most emotional scenes.
‘I made it my business to be there the day of the “you told Harpo to beat me scene” because that has been such a moment and it felt, literally, like passing the baton,’ she explained.
At the Empire State Building Oprah and Danielle were joined by the director along with stars Taraji P Henson, who stars as Shug Avery and Fantasia Barrino, who took over the role on Broadway from April 2007 until January 2008.
