Will Oprah Run for President? She Just Settled the Debate

Thanks to her inspiring speech at the Golden Globes—and the subsequent debate over whether she'll run for president—Oprah is the name on everyone's lips right now. So will she or won't she? In her new InStyle cover feature, Oprah answers the question once and for all: "I've always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not," she told the magazine. "And so it's not something that interests me. I don't have the DNA for it."

Disappointed? For now, you'll have to get your Oprah fix via her beautiful cover shoot and accompanying interview. Asked about what her life is like in her 60s, Oprah had the best response: "You take no shit. None. Not a bit. In your 40s you want to say you take no shit, but you still do. In your 60s you take none. There's both a quickening and a calming—there's a sense that you don't have as much time on earth as you once did. For me, there's also a sense of calming about that." We knew we loved her for a reason. Read on to see photos from her InStyle cover shoot.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
