Melissa McCarthy, 56, looked sensational as she posed for the cameras in a stunning satin suit following her 95lb weight loss.
The actress has been open about her weight fluctuations over the years and previously said she tried extreme diets — including a liquid diet that helped her lose 70 pounds — before adopting a more relaxed approach.
Bridesmaids actress Melissa McCarthy made an appearance in Los Angeles on Sunday to attend Netflix’s The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey FYC event at the Tudum Theater in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood star, 56, oozed class as she wore a sleek navy satin pantsuit.
Melissa, who reportedly lost around 95 pounds over the years, looked stunning as she posed for photos in a tailored ensemble consisting of a structured blazer and matching wide-leg pants. This comes after fellow actress Barbra Streisand made a “crude” joke about Melissa’s massive weight loss.
She wore the suit over a shimmering semi-sheer navy turtleneck and added a pop of color with a thin burgundy belt and a sparkling pink floral brooch pinned to her lapel.
The Identity Thief star wore her brunette tresses in loose, sleek waves that flowed around her shoulders. She also added a glamorous look with defined eyes, fluffy eyelashes, rosy cheeks and a soft pink lip.

The actress has been open about how her relationship with her body has evolved over the years, having previously revealed she tried extreme diets before adopting a more relaxed approach.
During her Gilmore Girls years, Melissa followed a doctor-supervised liquid diet that helped her lose 70 pounds in just four months.

However, the experience discouraged her and she later admitted that it was something she would never repeat.
In a 2015 interview with CBS This Morning, Melissa explained that her attitude toward her weight changed dramatically when she stopped putting so much pressure on herself.
It comes as Melissa faced backlash for playing a Disney character based on a drag queen.

“I really stopped worrying about it,” she shared, before adding that she no longer constantly analyzed everything she did.
The actress also revealed during an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2018 that taking a slower, less restrictive approach helped her manage her weight for several years.
Rather than following a strict diet, Melissa revealed she learned to give herself a break and focus on a more realistic lifestyle.
