Ophélie Winter in a worrying state
A post that sparked strong reactions. Under the spell, Internet users commented: It’s nice to see you in good shape!, So much happy for you, Always so beautiful and trendy. So many messages that 100% validate his return to the stage. However, the latest news from Closer magazine is not good.
Indeed, on the issue of this Friday, April 15 2022, Ophélie Winter appears with a crutch in her hand and drawn features. A worrying new state according to our colleagues who explain that the former teenage idol has a lot of trouble to walk, she winces, between pain and weariness. And to add:
During a brief shopping spree in a natural cosmetics store, she limps and complains. What is going on ? For the moment, no additional information has been transmitted. One thing is certain, it is that it already seems to be going much better. To be continued.
Why Ophelie Winter is a fashion icon?
Legend of 90s pop music, this dented urban angel marked his time with vibes, Anglicisms but above all innovative looks. Ophélie Winter revolutionized the style of the 90s, it’s a fact. However, she is still little considered an icon of the mode. It’s time to do him justice.
If the pop culture of the 90s in France had to be embodied by a single person, Ophelie Winter would surely be the Marianne, baggy version and cap upside down. Daughter of Dutch singer David Alexandre Winter, Ophélie Winter quickly understood that her destiny would be fabulous. At first, she imagined him on the catwalks and in front of the flashes of the photographers.

But it was ultimately on the small screen and a microphone in hand that she was immensely successful. She was the youth ambassador of the 90s, presenting the club Hit Machine or Dance Machine. Ophélie Winter embodied a new impetus during this decade open to the world. She was already a star absolute, stealing the show from some nerdy presenters who did not understand the challenges of this new generation.
The American influence is more and more palpable and the host is immersed in this urban culture. So much so that she will feed on it to produce her own music.
Yes, Ophélie is a singer and, in 1995, she released God gave me faith. Boom!
The winter bomb has just exploded and is sweeping away everything in its path. While the music industry was then dominated by Celine Dion and Elton John, Ophelie Winter comes in and puts a platforming hit on those slick charts. She imposed a style. Unfashionable, did you say? Think again.
THE OPHELIE WINTER STYLE
But how to define the Ophelie Winter style? Might as well ask the principal concerned. Exclusively for ELLE, the star returned to the fashion that contributed to her success. According to her, her look was urban, feminine. We called her “fly girl” in the 90s, she recalls. And indeed, it is impossible to dissociate the music of the singer from her clothing.
She who was so influenced by hip-hop and R&B from United States to create its soul, jack swing and funk sounds, wants to be one with the image it sends back. Sometimes high-waisted pants, sometimes ultra-wide flannel shirt or even a muppet hat (those famous fur hats). Ophelie Winter is the medium of street fashion in France.
She wants to import what speaks to her: I was inspired by what I saw on Melrose Street (in The Angels, note). It’s a street where there are a lot of trendy stores, very strong looks. It’s like the Fashion Week the whole year there, explains the 48-year-old artist. This is how she had the idea of the famous original heels she wears in the clip of Shame on You.
If the basis of the ideas comes from Ophélie Winter herself, the beautiful blonde is also surrounded by a team of avant-garde stylists who can only count on her creativity. No question of copying his look on someone else: in France, only she can wear what she wears. I had several stylists. I remember one of them who was great but completely crazy. She found roomstore them up, turned them over, customized them.
Ophélie Winter told me each time that it had to look like a unique piece. She would take a sweatshirt and she would make me put on the legs in the sleeves. And with that, she made me baggy with a big belt, kind of like the Pussycat Dolls’ ‘Don’t Cha’ music video. The jack-of-all-trades was bathed in success throughout the 90s: platinum disc, Victoire de la Musique, film roles.
Everything she touched turned to gold. And then the time passe, fashion is changing. The 2000s arrived and the singer transformed her style a little. Ophélie Winter becomes a little more pop, just like her music. In the 2000s, I also worked with William Carnimolla, former host of Belle tout nue on M6. It was more focused on sportswear brands.
He dressed me in Adidas joggers that he cinched at the bottom with biker darts and paired with lace-up high heels. But fashions come and go. The Ophélie Winter phenomenon lost momentum in the mid-2000s. Her style of dress also became the object of ridicule. But what human stupidity! Twenty-five years later, the silhouette of Ophélie Winter is copied everywhere.
