[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think Amanda Gorman coordinated with the others to also wear a jewel tone?  She looks fantastic.[/quote]
There was a little voice over on CBS about her outfit. Apparently, Oprah Winfrey called her and offered to buy her a coat, as she had for Maya Angelou when she was the inaugural poet for Clinton. Gorman already had her coat picked out, and Winfrey ended up buying her earrings.

Jeez, that alone made me tear up again. Can you imagine being 22 and having the guts to tell Oprah that you have your own coat, thank you very much? [/quote]

Lol, I think it’s exactly at 22 or around it that you do that sort of thing :)[/quote]

Yup!  Then, 20 years on, you’re like: OMG, I can’t believe I DID that!  Lol. I’m sure Oprah gets it.  [/quote]

OMG yes totally. To be so young and brash. To be fair, she is wearing  a GREAT coat.[/quote]

Might have been "But I already have a perfectly good coat for the occasion so it wouldn't be okay for me to have this person buy me another coat." Even if that person is Oprah and the cost of even a really nice coat is absolutely nothing to her.[/quote]
