Melissa McCarthy Shows Off Her Weight Loss In Lacy Black Top

For what looks like an intimate dinner (from what we can tell from photos!) Melissa and Ben celebrated their relationship milestone with a few friends of theirs, including Adam Shankman, who posted a snap of him and Melissa on his Instagram.

In the photo, Melissa has a huge smile on her face, dressed in a tight black sweater with a structured wavy pattern down the arms. It also featured a lacy neckline and gold buttons. She finished the look with a simple yet flattering fitted skirt and a shiny, wavy hairstyle.

Melissa has been very open about her weight loss journey, explaining that taking it slow and focusing on confidence is how she's found success. Speaking to People, she said, "I feel sexiest when I feel comfortable, when I feel most myself, when I'm not trying to be anything other than who I am. [I love] all of it: my flaws, my shortcomings, my body parts that you're like, 'Well, couldn't that be better?' I think, especially after having kids, I go, 'Well, the alternative is pretty bad. I'll take me as I am."
