Gayle King brought understated glamour to the red carpet as she arrived at the 68th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, delivering a fashion moment that felt confident, elegant and unmistakably her.
The veteran broadcaster, 71, stunned in a sleeveless metallic gown that blended warm gold tones with rich red accents, catching the light with every step. The high-neck silhouette skimmed her figure beautifully, while the fluid, floor-length cut added drama without overwhelming her frame.

Her shoulder-length hair was styled in a smooth, softly layered bob, while natural, glowing makeup let her signature smile take centre stage.
Gayle's appearance at the Grammys came as part of the night's wider celebration of music, culture and storytelling – worlds she has long moved through with ease.

From hard-hitting political interviews to deeply personal conversations with artists, actors and global figures, she has spent decades shaping the way stories are told – and who gets to tell them.
Gayle has had a decades-long friendship with Oprah Winfrey. The pair have been inseparable since meeting in the 1970s, and their bond – marked by loyalty, humour and mutual respect – has become one of the most celebrated friendships in media. Together, they've navigated careers, personal milestones and public scrutiny, often crediting each other as pillars of support.

"We became friends that first night because for the first time, I met somebody who I felt was like me," Gayle recalled in the 2006 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. "I'd never met anybody like that. Certainly not another Black girl. I grew up in an all-white community."

Radiant, relaxed and clearly enjoying the moment, she reminded onlookers that style isn't about chasing trends, but about knowing who you are.
