Not only does Oprah boast one of the most impressive celebrity contact books in the world, she also has friends in high political places. From Bush to Brown, Oprah has dined (and no doubt wined) with some of the most powerful political figures in the world.
Few boast the connections of Oprah, particularly when it comes to fashion. Who wouldn’t give an arm, leg or family member to be ‘in’ with Andre Leon Talley? Winfrey no doubt has the former US Vogue editor-at-large on her fashion emergency speed dial.
