Melissa, 53, rocked the standout ensemble to a RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 watch party, where she celebrated her latest appearance.
Makeup artist Afton Williams shared photos of the Life of the Party star at the event to showcase her memorable look.
Melissa’s makeup look was taken to the next level with dramatic eyelashes, and she opted to keep her brunette hair styled down in loose curls.
The actress has undergone a dramatic weight loss transformation, which was highlighted by her champagne-colored catsuit.
The figure-hugging garment was fully composed of sequins and was paired with a hot pink sequin cape.
Melissa finished off her look with a thin studded belt around her waist and a pair of iridescent purple heels.
While the star showed off her full body in a few solo shots, she also made sure to pose with her husband of 19 years, Ben Falcone, 50.
Ben opted for a pair of black plaid pants with a black sequin top of his own, which he paired with a black bomber overtop.
SHOCKING CAMEO
The watch party was for Melissa’s latest cameo on RuPaul, as the actress blindsided the contestants on the reality show’s newest episode during the acting challenge.
During her cameo, she revealed she began her career in drag, wearing a red wig because she was reluctant to show the world her true self.
She’s since shed that facade and serious pounds as evidenced by the glamorous photos.
Melissa also commemorated the appearance on her own Instagram, where she shared a photo with her husband from the party.
“Coco Chanel once said ‘Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off,'” she wrote in the caption.
“I am not Coco Chanel. I say PILE ON! Last night’s look for @rupaulsdragrace viewing party with @adamshankman and @benjyfalcone!!” she added.
Fans flooded the comments section wowed by the star’s new look, with one writing, “You look fabulous!!! Both of you are fire.”
“Wow you have lost a lot of weight! You look amazing,” a second noted.
“You both look so happy and healthy,” another commented.
MELISSA’S TRANSFORMATION
McCarthy has faced decades of scrutiny over her figure being in the spotlight.
She previously told People that after she landed her role on Gilmore Girls, she attempted a doctor-supervised all-liquid diet, which led her to lose 70 pounds in four months, per Women’s Health Magazine.
“I’d never do that again. I felt starved and crazy half the time,” she said.
Over the next decade, McCarthy’s weight tended to fluctuate, but she has since reportedly lost more than 75 pounds.
She says her weight loss secret has nothing to do with insane diets, calorie restriction, or intense workout regimens.
While upping her protein and getting more exercise have played a role in the past, a shift in her mindset has played the biggest role.
She shared on CBS This Morning: “I finally said [to myself], ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it, and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done.”
“I truly stopped worrying about [my weight].
“I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything…I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”
