Melissa McCarthy Stuns In A Floral Gown & Flaunts Her Weight Loss On The Red Carpet
It's hard to think about comedic and notable women in Hollywood without the Bridesmaids actress, who has been making audiences laugh during her performances for nearly three decades.
Therefore, it wasn't a surprise that she attended this year's Women In Hollywood event hosted by Elle magazine, which honors women in the entertainment industry who have made a significant cultural impact. Last week, she stepped out on the red carpet along with her husband and occasional co-star, Ben Falcone, wearing a long, flowy black gown with an orange and green floral pattern.
Melissa wore her long, dark hair in a stylish, voluminous ponytail and had on some colorful, orange high-heeled shoes. Although her gown was relatively modest, not showing a ton of skin, the way it hung on her proved that she's slimmed down even more over the last year, and fans couldn't get over how good she looked.
Fans React To Melissa's Weight Loss & Dress On Social Media
The 55-year-old was a standout at the event for her great look and her noteworthy speech, where she made jokes about her experiences on set while filming Bridesmaids. After seeing pictures and videos of her at the honorable event, fans of Melissa shared their excitement about how happy and glowy she looked.
"She looks so pretty!" wrote an Instagram user.
"So obsessed," added another.
"As long as she's happy, I'm good," commented a supportive fan.
Melissa has been openly working on getting fitter and healthier over the last decade, and recent reports note that she's accomplished a 95-pound weight loss.
A few years ago, she said that after decades of fluctuating and trying fad diets, she achieved most of her success when she gradually adapted healthier lifestyle habits and stopped "worrying."
"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.
