Melissa McCarthy certainly had a dramatic start to the week following a hilarious interaction with icon Barbra Streisand online, but it seems none of it is getting to her as she stunned in a statement dress.
As the star comedian attended the premiere for Unfrosted, she opted for a maximalist floral gown with long flowing sleeves and a matching headband. The gown, with striking red and pink flowers over a bed of green leaves, had cascading sleeves, a matching bow around her neck for a bold floral look.

As the comedian held a copy of a magazine with Barbra on the cover, Melissa said: "The takeaway is Barbra Streisand knows I exist, she reached out to me and she thought I looked good. I win the day!"
The Funny Girl star received questions after commenting under a photo of the actress and choreographer Matthew Bourne: "Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?" The bluntness of the comment sent the internet into a frenzy.

She continued: "Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album," referring to the 2016 Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, and added: "She looked fantastic!"
"I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!"
While many netizens may have taken the 82-year-old legend's comments in ill faith, Melissa maintained: "I think Barbra is a treasure," adding to E! News: "I love her."
