Melissa McCarthy appears more confident than ever following her recent weight loss.
The 53-year-old displayed her staggering transformation in a sheer black top that revealed her lacy bra for the opening night of the new musical Suffs at The Music Box Theatre in New York City.
Melissa looked incredible for the event and highlighted her slimmed-down physique in her chic ensemble.
She teamed her daring see-through top with a pair of wide-legged black pants and a matching jacket, leaving her chest and slim waist exposed.
To complement her look, Melissa wore her hair down in face-framing curls and added a pop of red lipstick and rosy blush.
The Bridesmaids star has reportedly lost a whopping 75lbs after trying several fad diets over the years.

"I finally said [to myself], 'Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it', and it may be the best thing I've ever done," she shared on CBS Mornings.
"I truly stopped worrying about [my weight]. I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything."

It wasn't easy for Melissa to change her mindset as she has been critical about her weight since she was a teenager.
She told Rolling Stone in 2017: "I thought I battled weight throughout high school, but I look back at pictures of me as a cheerleader, doing sprints, lifting weights, doing gymnastics, playing tennis, and while I wasn't reed-thin like some girls... I was a size six the entire time.
"So, what on earth was I freaking out about? Like, I would kill, absolutely kill, to look like that now."

The actress noticed her weight begin to change when she moved to Los Angeles and gained 25lbs because she "stopped walking and ate [expletive] food".
"I was in good shape, then suddenly I gained 25lbs. And then after my second kid, I haven’t lost any, because I’ve been working every day of my life," she added to Rolling Stone.

"I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'"
However, when she landed her role on Gilmore Girls, she turned to an extreme diet in order to slim down.

"I'd never do that again. I felt starved and crazy half the time," she previously said.
