Oprah Winfrey Highlights Meghan Markle and Kim Kardashian in 2025 Favorites List
Oprah Winfrey recently expressed her admiration for friends like Meghan Markle and Kim Kardashian in her annual Favorites List for 2025.
Released on November 5, the list, which started in her Oprah Daily magazine back in 1996, categorizes various must-haves such as food, travel, and family needs.
This year, in the food category, Winfrey featured Markle’s “As Ever” holiday collection, which includes a signature fruit spread. The set, priced at $42, features orange marmalade, strawberry jam, and raspberry jam.
“Before our neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us,” Winfrey noted. “I love it on English muffins, yogurt, and even ice cream. You can’t go wrong with these as hostess gifts. Just add a bow, and you’re set!”

Additionally, Winfrey gave a nod to Kardashian’s Skims brand, recommending a pajama set retailing for $128, which she happily admitted to owning in multiple colors.
“It’s so incredibly soft and comfortable, you’ll find it hard to take off,” Winfrey stated. She also acknowledged Shay Mitchell’s bag brand, BÉIS, adding that her friend Gayle King is a fan of the company.
King described the set as fashionable yet practical, highlighting how easy it is to spot on a luggage carousel.
Interestingly, Winfrey also included some items from her list for direct purchase on Amazon, a move likely influenced by her recent appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s extravagant wedding in Italy.
It’s worth noting that Markle and Prince Harry had a candid interview with Winfrey in 2021, discussing their experiences with racism and mental health struggles, revealing much about their personal challenges within the royal family.
In summary, Winfrey’s 2025 Favorites List offers a blend of personal endorsements and heartfelt sentiments, showcasing the warmth and connections she has with her chosen favorites, while also adding a touch of glamour to her recommendations.
