The Bridesmaid actress has been taking on a bunch of fun projects, from new roles to a booming SNL episode. Now, she's taking things to the next level with a glamorous Super Bowl advertisement.

The famous football game is notorious for its advertisements, which are getting more elaborate by the year. For the upcoming game, which airs this Sunday, Melissa partnered with e.l.f, the cosmetics brand, to promote some of their latest lip products. The premise of the commercial, which was lengthy and high-quality, was to recreate a telenovela, following the theme of learning Spanish before Bad Bunny's highly anticipated halftime performance.

In the dramatic, comedic commercial, Melissa gets into a car crash, and needs the help of a handsome Spanish doctor to get her confidently back to her old self and able to speak his language before the big game. While wearing the Glow Reviver Lip Oil, she goes from a hospital into a luxurious golden gown, which cinched her waist and showed off her slimmed-down figure. You can watch the ad here!
