Melissa McCarthy has been looking pretty freaking incredible lately, but she’s mostly kept mum about her weight loss – until now.
While she’s been constantly working in films and designing a fashion line, the actress recently revealed her new dress size.
“I am a size 14,” she said during a press conference for her new movie The Boss.
The star reportedly lost 50 pounds, but remained somewhat coy by telling Extra there was really no “trick” to her transformation.
“No trick, nothing to tell, just super boring life,” she joked. “You bring it real down, you don’t do anything fun and you go to bed at 7:30 — that’s the trick.”
We suspect she hasn’t discussed her recent slim down because she wants to focus on more important things, like the launch of her new clothing line Melissa McCarthy Seven7, which she says is “going great.”
However, please don’t refer to it as “plus size,” a term McCarthy despises.
“Every time someone says, ‘You make a plus-size line,’ I just correct them: ‘I make clothes for women,"” she told E! News.
McCarthy also finds it tiresome and sad that women are constantly being “ranked” against one another when it comes to bodies and appearance.
“We’re always being ranked and when we come together, you know, women are amazing together,” she said.
“Women are friends. Women are not really competing with each other. I think everyone wants to make it seem that way with who wore it better, whose butt is better, whose glasses are crazier. I’ve never had any of those conversations in my life.”
Melissa McCarthy Seven7 features dresses, knits and separates in sizes 2-26W.
Regardless of what she’s wearing or what size she is, we adore Melissa all the same.
