Soledad O'Brien - O, The Oprah Magazine

From the archives comes this photo from "Body Smart Holiday Dressing" from the December 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.

Soledad O'Brien is described as having an "athletic, straight shape" that "looks va-va-voom in a gold sheath and leopard-print trenchcoat."

"I'd never worn metallics before," says the 43-year-old CNN anchor and special correspondent, "and my trenches are black or navy."
