Better to discover a fashion mistake late than never.

Winfrey realized her error the day before the wedding. She wrote that the beige color "would photograph too 'white' for a wedding."

"Her team did this overnite," she wrote.

The 64-year-old entertainer also mentioned her vintage Philip Treacy hat. Regardless of any near fashion misses, she described it as "an extraordinary day!"
