She's thin, and her sister is the complete opposite.
Longman Dictionary has written such sentence and opposite in "noun" entry.
What's your opinion?

Can we use "opposite of" as a preposition?



Thanks!

Yes, "opposite" is a noun.
No, "opposite of" is not a preposition. I's a noun "opposite" followed by "of".
"In regard to body shape, she is the opposite of her sister".
