Whoopi Goldberg exudes effortless style. The View co-host, previously announced as the face of Ami’s Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, attended the brand’s Fall 2025 runway show in Paris on Wednesday, January 22nd.
Goldberg, 69, made a statement in a sophisticated all-black silk ensemble, accessorized with black-framed glasses and a black leather Ami handbag. The monochromatic look was completed with black boots, creating a perfect winter fashion statement.

Seated front row, the Sister Act star had a memorable encounter with French actor Omar Sy. Sy, known for his role in Jurassic World, introduced his wife, Hélène Sy, to Goldberg and requested a photo opportunity.
A video of the encounter, shared on WWD‘s Instagram, captured the warm exchange between the two stars. Goldberg shared her excitement about attending her first Paris Fashion Week, stating, “They were kind enough to ask me if I would come, and I said yes. I’m very happy. People seem to be all right with me here, and I seem to be OK with them so far. So it’s all good.” She playfully added, “This is a one-time thing.”
Earlier that day, Ami offered a sneak peek of the fashion show’s ambiance on social media. An Instagram carousel showcased the minimalist setup, bathed in soft, daylight-inspired illumination, promising a captivating experience.

Goldberg’s role as the face of Ami’s Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, announced in November, was described as capturing “the essence of Whoopi herself: a contagious smile, charismatic stature, and tender glance.” The Parisian fashion brand emphasized its commitment to creating a versatile and comprehensive wardrobe for both men and women.
Goldberg has previously discussed her evolving relationship with fashion. In an October 2023 interview with Page Six Style, she reflected on the criticism she received for her 1993 Oscars outfit, a purple and green ensemble. She admitted that the negative comments “hurt [her] feelings” and impacted her fashion choices for years.

From launching her own sweater line to becoming a brand ambassador for Ami, Goldberg has clearly embraced the fashion world. Recently, she returned to the stage as Miss Hannigan in the New York City run of the Annie national tour, showcasing her multifaceted talents.
