Former Talk Show Host Celebrates Weight Loss Journey in NYC

NEW YORK CITY — A former talk show host was seen confidently flaunting her figure in a chic outfit while out in New York on June 10, 2025. The actress, 56, has lost over 30 pounds since October 2023 and is embracing her new look.

During her outing, she wore a stylish black maxi dress with a V-neckline that accentuated her figure. She paired the dress with an open black leather bomber jacket and eye-catching velvet peep-toe platform heels adorned with a playful star print.

The Hairspray star styled her silver hair in loose waves, framing her face beautifully. Her makeup complemented her outfit, featuring soft rosy tones on her cheeks and lips, while her eye makeup incorporated black shades.

This public appearance marks her first sighting in months as she focuses on her weight loss journey, although she remains active on social media. Previously, her last received media attention was in November 2024 at the End Well 2024 series of discussions on caregiving and grief.

In February 2024, she shared her experiences regarding weight loss, stating, “I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical…But neither of us were prediabetic and both of us felt like we wanted to at least try and do it on our own.” She also mentioned her happiness with her fitness journey.

“It’s so funny that because when you’re in your 50s, you’re supposed to be going sort of down. I feel the opposite; I feel the healthiest I’ve ever felt,” she told PEOPLE at the Community Access Gala. She described her past as a series of ups and downs but emphasized her success through hard work.

In recent times, she also opened up about losing her home and relocating to New York City, framing it as an opportunity for a new chapter in her life.
