Whoopi Goldberg Reveals Criticism of Her 1993 Oscars Outfit Discouraged Her from Dressing Up for Years

Goldberg's confidence was shattered by negative response to her bold fashion choice at the 1993 Oscars; maintains she'd wear the outfit again today.

Whoopi Goldberg wore a criticized outfit to the 1993 Oscars, featuring a green and purple brocade jumpsuit with matching heels, and a satin purple jacket with a lime green lining.
Goldberg's fashion choice landed her on Worst-Dressed lists and elicited such a negative response that it dissuaded her from dressing up for many years afterwards.
Inspired by Lucille Ball's bold fashion choices, Goldberg has affirmed that she stands by her choice and would wear the same outfit today.
The actress, now known for bold fashion statements, runs her own fashion line, DUBGEE, and frequently showcases unique fashion pieces, including Barbie-filled platform shoes and high-heeled Crocs.
Despite previous criticism, Goldberg remains unbothered by public opinion, even when people comment on her wearing the same outfit more than once, saying, 'Look at me. Do I care? No. 'Cause I’m comfortable in this bad boy!'
