Melissa McCarthy made an appearance at the 7th Annual Daytime Beauty Awards on Sunday. While the actress looked as radiant and full of life as ever, her weight loss was certainly noticeable. Taking to the podium, the star looked slimmer as she donned a chic cropped blazer.
Melissa McCarthy paired the blazer with matching tight black pants
Melissa looked great at the awards show in Los Angeles at the weekend. She was wearing a studded twin-piece comprising a blazer and tight-fitting pants. It was obvious when she took to the stage that she has lost weight in recent months – some reports have estimated the star has shed around 75 pounds since starting her weight loss journey.
Her recent transformation hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans on social media. On an Instagram post from earlier this year, one commented: “OMG how did you lose the weight? You look marvelous.”
Another asked: “You look great!!!!!!!!!? ? How did you achieve it?”
A third implied the actress has been using weight loss aids: “She looks great. Ozempic or Wegovy?”
Speculation that the star may have used Ozempic and the like has persisted. Many celebs have admitted to taking the drugs, including Lizzo earlier this year.
While Melissa hasn’t talked about the specifics of her recent weight loss, she has previously opened up about giving up on quick fixes and harmful fad diets. Telling People about a time she went on a liquid-only diet, she said: “I’d never do that again. I felt starved and crazy half the time.”
She also told the publication how her husband Ben Falcone helped her feel comfortable in her own skin, “because he’s so constantly loving and kind. And funny and the weirdest human I know, to be honest. And somewhere in my 30s, I was like ‘I’m okay with who I am.’ And if someone wasn’t thrilled with that, that’s okay too.”
