Because the store was closed.
And they later apologized for turning her away saying that its Paris store was closed to set up for a public relations event when the talk show host stopped by. The store said the incident occurred on June 14 around 6:45 p.m., about 15 minutes after the store closed. It said Winfrey and her team arrived at a time when "a private PR event was being set up inside."
The spokeswoman said Winfrey came to the store 15 minutes after closing and a security guard informed her the store was closed and gave her a card, telling her she could come back the next day. Surveillance videotape of the encounter supports the store's account, according to the spokeswoman.

She was denied entry because the store had closed early to prepare for an event later in the evening. Oprah thought it was open because she saw that people were inside, but the store was closed. Oprah thought she was denied because she's black, but let's face it, even if you don't usually let back people into your store, you let in OPRAH.

Well, you know, for someone in a position like Ms. Winfrey, she should have had her "people" on top of this situation. A phone call prior to her arrival would have resolved an issue that never should have reared its head. Management and Planning 101.

They say the store was closing. She believed other wise. She was not in full make-up and she feels it was done on purpose.

Because she arrived after they closed. Just because she's a celebrity doesn't mean she should get special treatment.
