Whoopi Goldberg Opens Up About the Emotional Impact of 1993 Oscars Outfit Backlash
Whoopi Goldberg reflects on the backlash she received for her choice of dress at the 1993 Oscars, admitting that it hurt her feelings and kept her from dressing up for a long time. Inspired by Lucille Ball's flamboyant outfits on "I Love Lucy," Goldberg wore a purple and lime green jumpsuit with a bolero-style jacket and an open-front skirt. Despite the criticism, she stands by her decision and has since launched her own clothing line, unapologetically defending her style choices.
