Melissa McCarthy Appears at Netflix Event in Navy Satin Suit

At the Tudum Theater event for Netflix’s “The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey,” McCarthy wore a structured blazer and wide-leg trousers over a semi-sheer, embellished turtleneck. A burgundy belt and pink floral brooch completed the outfit. She posed for photographs alongside screenwriter Richard LaGravenese, producer David Glasser and Stacey Wilson Hunt.

McCarthy has spoken about changes in her approach to weight. While working on “Gilmore Girls,” she reportedly followed a doctor-supervised liquid diet and lost 70 pounds in four months. She later described the experience as difficult. In a 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club, she said easing the pressure and avoiding restrictive plans had worked better for her. “I’m just gonna mellow out (and) give myself a break,” she said.

Online speculation about whether McCarthy used Ozempic followed her appearance at the Fashion Trust US Awards in April 2026. Some social media users suggested she had taken the medication; others argued that her weight loss had happened gradually. McCarthy has said in interviews that lifestyle changes and exercise were behind her transformation, but she has neither confirmed nor directly denied using weight-loss medication.

A 2025 report by Hello! said her routine included piloxing, cardio and strength training, with workouts treated as “non-negotiable.” The outlet also reported that she was eating healthier without cutting calories far below her maintenance level. McCarthy’s changing appearance drew praise from viewers during her December 2025 hosting appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”
