'I was a little apprehensive': Oprah admits squeezing into a tight-fitting body suit for O magazine's new cover was nerve-wracking - but 'kind of exciting'

Oprah Winfrey shows off her curvy figure in a long-sleeved body suit for the cover of O, The Oprah Magazine’s September issue - something that she says was 'kind of exciting,' but daunting.
The 60-year-old admits that initially she was 'a little apprehensive' about such a revealing cover.
'As Maya Angelou says in her Phenomenal Woman, "I’m not built to suit a fashion model size,"' said Ms Winfrey, referring to the late author's famous 1995 poem.

Still, she says that she feels 'pretty phenomenal' about the end result. 'I like pretending I’m a movie star,' she confessed of embracing the dramatic cat suit.
The media mogul is certainly no stranger to showing off her figure on the cover of the
namesake magazine she launched 14 years ago.

She wore a daring long-sleeve, floor-length red dress by Badgley Mischka on the magazine's May cover to celebrate looking fabulous at 60.
'Call me crazy, but I’ve never really understood our culture’s fear of getting older. The way I see it, every year can be a brand new journey,' she said at the time.

'The best way I know for sure to stay in steady make-over mode is to take care of yourself,' she explained.
'To feed yourself with love and loving thoughts. To eat food that’s delicious to you and your body. To engage in loving practices, like giving yourself the gift of stillness at least five minutes a day. 
'To surround yourself with people who bring you light, and to banish all forms of negative energy.'
Ms Winfrey, who topped Forbes list of 'most powerful celebrities' last year, elaborated on this concept in the magazine's July issue, emphasizing how grateful she is for the life she is able to lead.
'I feel blessed to have the life I’m living,' she said. Several times a day I look around in awe of how someone like me, born in apartheid Mississippi, got to where I am. It’s still a wonder to me.'
