Oprah and Ellen's Magazine Cover

Released mid-Friday, this is the cover Ellen and Oprah have been keeping under wraps ever since Ellen declared she wanted to share the O Magazine cover with Oprah.

The December issue featuring the talk duo will go on sale this Thursday and you can watch Oprah's exclusive interview with Ellen when Oprah airs this afternoon.

Here is what Winfrey had to say about the shoot:

“When Ellen arrived at the photo shoot for our cover, I didn’t have to ask her how she was doing: it showed on her face. She radiated the kind of peace and satisfaction that comes only when you’re living at your highest potential.”

I guess it's only fitting she's gracing the December issue (since the holidays are synonymous with "joy"), but: the colors could've been a little more exuberant.
