Website is impressed by Oprah's tattoos on red carpet... only it's not Oprah

Oscars night is an understandably busy night but one Twitter account made a major boo boo earlier when they mixed up Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.

Oscar winner Whoopi had walked down the red carpet looking stunning in a black off-the-shoulder satin gown with her tats on show but American publication Total Beauty called the actress Oprah Winfrey, writing: ‘We had no idea @Oprah was #tatted, and we love it. #Oscars.’

We would love it as well, but sadly that’s not Oprah.

And 2016 being 2016, the inteet quickly jumped on the error.

One user thought that it was a ‘meta stance’ on this year’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy:

Let's all just pretend that Total Beauty was making a meta stance on how racist the Oscars are this year... by being really, really racist. — Amanda Deibert (@amandadeibert) February 29, 2016

Others found the humour – we’re not sure Leo would appreciate it though:

In the spirit of @TotalBeauty, I sure hope Leo wins tonight for his work in The Martian. — Just Jackie, I guess (@brkgnews) February 29, 2016

This user was not at all happy:

So according to @TotalBeauty all black women look alike #Oscars pic.twitter.com/2uzbC24UIg — LilEsBella (@LilEsBella) February 29, 2016

And this user was hoping for the best:

@TotalBeauty @Oprah I hope that is sarcasm #notOprah — betty darling (@emd9930) February 29, 2016

While this user is a cynical fella:

That Total Beauty tweet has been up for so long I can't imagine it was anything other than an intentional mistake. — Daniel Kaszor (@dkaszor) February 29, 2016
