Melissa McCarthy’s Sheer Red Carpet Look Highlights Her Weight Loss Transformation
Melissa McCarthy is showing off her weight loss transformation on the red carpet in a sheer top.
The actress and comedy queen, 56, first came to fame in the role of Sookie on Gilmore Girls. Later, she hit it big with laugh-heavy roles in Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy, and St. Vincent. She earned critical praise for her role on the CBS sitcom Mike & Molly, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention her hilarious spots on Saturday Night Live. But the star hit the red carpet to promote her role in a major new Netflix limited series, and she’s looking better than ever. Working the red carpet to promote her role as Patsy Ramsey in The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey, McCarthy stepped out at an FYC Event at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Los Angeles, California. Wearing a silk suit in a bold navy color, McCarthy wore a sheer, shimmering top underneath.
