Lauren Hutton Gets Shady with Oprah

Posted Apr 14th 2008 3:04PM by TMZ Staff

Jurassic supermodel Lauren Hutton's makeup line comes in four shades: pink, yellow, olive and "Oprah dark"!


While hawking her jank cosmetics at some South Carolina makeup event this weekend, the 64-year-old black-eyed beauty made a Don Imusian slip and corrected a woman who had picked up the wrong shade of her foundation by saying,"This is Oprah dark. You are not Oprah dark." Paging Hermès! For the record, Hutton's makeup comes in brown -- not "Oprah dark."

Don't expect to see Lauren's face paint on Oprah's "Favorite Things" episode anytime soon!

16. Blacks discriminate often among themselves based on their color. Lighter is better in their view! Perhaps Lauren has a shade she calls "Gayle King Dark" and her darkest is called "Oprah Winfrey Dark." Gayle is lighter than Oprah.

What Lauren said is not discriminatory and she was just trying to prevent someone from purchasing the wrong color for their complexion.

21. This is much ado about nothing. Nothing funny about the comment and nothing racist. Color comes in different shades and hues or did you not know it?

22. That's not a 'Don Imusian' slip, TMZ. By saying that, you are the one slipping, by assuming that saying 'Oprah dark' is somehow a negative thing. She was simply factually referring to varying degrees of cosmetic shades. OOOPS on your part, TMZ. Mind you, any site that compares photos of 'A cup' women might likely not see this point.

25. I hardly think that was a racist comment. She was comparing skin tones. So we are not allowed to even mention that people have dark skin? Stop making trouble TMZ

29. How can it be racist when it's the truth?

30. Since when is being "Oprah Dark" in any way a negative thing?
A true example of the media taking a comment and spinning it to have any meaning that suits their purpose.

To assume that a woman of Oprah's intelligence would automatically take insult is presumptuous.
I'm quite sure Oprah KNOWS she's got it going on and doesn't need to have fair skin to do so..
