Oprah planned an intimate dinner party, complete with all of Gayle’s favorites.
“When turning 65 feels like 40 something!” the CBS This Morning co-host wrote on Instagram, along with photos from the soiree. “Thsnx [sp] @Oprah for a very special dinner ..my fav color my fav menu and my fav people all in one room ! Here’s to 2020!!!”
Party-goers dined on hand-cut wild mushroom tortelloni and slow-braised Wagyu short ribs, among other things, at a table accented with yellow flowers to match Gayle’s yellow dress.
Oprah also documented the day on her Instagram Story, showing that she treated Gayle to a manicure before the dinner as well.
“We’ve been friends since she was 21 and I was 22.. Still celebrating!” Oprah wrote alongside a video of Gayle reacting to the table setting. “Happy birthday @gayleking.”
The pair are the same age for the next few weeks — until Oprah turns 66 on January 29.
