Melissa McCarthy turned heads in a colorful ensemble as she brushed off the Barbra Streisand Ozempic drama at the Unfrosted premiere in Hollywood on Tuesday.

Melissa was radiant and flashed a cheerful smile at the event while donning a long-sleeved, floral-print dress that contained hues of pink, red and also green. 

She additionally wore a pair of closed-toed, nude heels that were partially concealed by the long hem of the flowy outfit.

She added a matching headband on top of her head, and allowed her locks to flow down in light waves past her shoulders. 

McCarthy accessorized her look with a pair of floral-shaped earrings, as well as flashy rings and chunky bracelets on her right wrist. 

The Gilmore Girls alum easily carried an cream-colored, hexagon purse in her hand to hold a few items she needed during the evening. 

Her makeup was glammed up, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a shimmering, gold shadow around her eyes. 

A light pink blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a glossy, darker nude tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch. 

Melissa was seen striking a variety of poses on the red carpet upon arriving to the venue, and also was accompanied by husband, Ben Falcone. 

He sported an olive green suit which was paired with a coral-colored dress shirt that was left partially unfastened around the collar. For a final touch, he also wore a pair of tan loafers.  

She also crossed paths with some of her Unfrosted co-stars, including Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan.

During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Jerry opened up about the film which follows the creation of the Pop-Tart and talked about working alongside McCarthy. 

‘Oh, she is the greatest. And she’s so experienced. She comes on the set and she helped me with cameras and blocking, because she knows so much about making films.’ 

He explained, ‘Me coming from TV, you don’t really move the cameras that much. But with film, you can do anything – even though it’s, of course, technically video. So she was so helpful and brilliantly funny.’ 

Melissa’s red carpet appearance comes amidst the recent drama that sparked up when Streisand questioned if the actress used Ozempic. However, McCarthy has continued to positively brush aside the drama.
