Melissa McCarthy Poses In A Bedazzled Pantsuit For The Daytime Beauty Awards

Earlier this week, the 7th annual Daytime Beauty Awards were held in Los Angeles, California. The event celebrates excellence in hairstyling, makeup, photography, and more within the television and film industry. It's a ceremony that happens just in time, right after the Emmys, and honors various hair and makeup artists who work hard to ensure today's stars look great.

 

One of this year's presenters was Melissa, who got all dolled up for the occasion. According to the Beauty Awards' Instagram, she presented the "Outstanding Achievement in Color & Styling to her longtime friend, colorist & hairstylist Robert Ramos." Ramos has been consistently working with the Little Mermaid star, as well as other notable celebrities like Kelly Clarkson.

 

For the awards ceremony, Melissa's styling team dressed her in a dark, bedazzled power suit with a matching jacket and pants, both of which had silver embellishments. Her long, brunette locks were worn down and curled, and, fitting for the event, she had her face in full glam makeup. Her outfit and look for the event were shared in a viral Instagram reel, where fans got to get a good look at her slender figure.

Fans React To Melissa's Award Show Look On Instagram

In honor of the special beauty-related awards ceremony, the Identity Thief performer posed in her suit for pictures and videos taken by her styling team, who later uploaded them to Instagram, where fans couldn't help themselves from commenting on how she looks.

 

"Stunning!" wrote a fan, as another said they "love this glam on her."

 

"This glam is iconic!" commented a fan. "So stunning."

 

Other Instagram users couldn't get over how great she looks overall, likely due to her latest 75-pound weight loss.

 

"I wanna look this hot at 55," wrote an Instagram user. "She's unreal."

 

One Instagram user called her "gorgeous and healthy," as another wrote, "good for her."

 

Melissa has been progressively getting fit and losing weight over the last decade, openly admitting to living a more balanced lifestyle with healthy eating and exercise instead of doing any fad diets. In interviews, she confessed that one of the biggest keys to her success was that she stopped "worrying" so much about how she looked and how quickly she needed to drop pounds.

 

"I finally said [to myself], 'Oh, for God's sake, stop worrying about it,' and it may be the best thing I've ever done," she told CBS.

 

Now, whatever she's doing is clearly working, as fans think she looks thinner than ever. We're excited to hear about any other progress reports that may have happened in her weight loss journey.
