Comedian and actress Melissa McCarthy made an impression with her new look on the red carpet. The 55-year-old star wowed the crowd with her noticeably slimmer figure and confident demeanor.
The Elle Women In Hollywood 2025 event in Beverly Hills brought together many celebrities, and McCarthy was one of the most talked-about guests. She chose a black dress with a large floral print and bright orange ankle boots.
Although her outfit was loose-fitting, attentive fans immediately noticed that the actress had lost a significant amount of weight. According to Melissa herself, she managed to lose about 43 kilograms.
The actress said that her transformation was the result of a calm, gradual change in lifestyle. She refused to resort to drastic methods and strict diets. “I got tired of rushing all the time. When I started to take things calmly, without pressure, everything became much easier,” she said.
After having children, McCarthy decided to take a realistic view of the process and stop expecting quick results. This approach, she said, restored her harmony.
Barbra Streisand recently asked Melissa a direct question about the possible use of weight loss drugs. McCarthy did not respond publicly, but admitted to her friends that she was surprised by the legend’s attention.
The two-time Emmy winner confessed that she often went on extreme diets in her youth. At that time, she constantly felt hungry and nervous, and later vowed never to repeat the experience.
Now the actress prefers natural foods, cooks light soups at home, and tries to avoid processed foods. The star has also found pleasure in Pilates, tennis, and weight training. “I love my body with all its features. The main thing is to be yourself,” Melissa said.
McCarthy has been married to actor Ben Falcone for 20 years. The couple is raising two teenage daughters, Vivian and Georgette.
