Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone were joined by their youngest daughter Georgette, 13, for a rare public appearance on Monday – and she is the image of her famous parents.
The 52-year-old actress was supported by her family – minus her eldest daughter, Vivian, 16 – at the world premiere of Disney's The Little Mermaid in LA, and it wasn't just Melissa who dressed for the occasion, Georgette pulled out all the stops too.

Her mom, who plays Ursula in the live-action remake, opted for bold color and rocked a royal blue Taller Marmo gown that featured fringe detailing along the hem and sleeves which boasted exaggerated ruffles. Melissa added a pair of Lillian Shalom blue opera gloves and coordinating satin heels.
Her husband, Ben, looked dapper in a black suit with a shimmery shirt. He and Melissa met in 1998 in a comedy writing class in Los Angeles while attending the Groundlings comedy school. The pair went on to marry in 2005.

However, in October 2018, Melissa opened up about her youngest daughter on her The Ellen DeGeneres Show, revealing that she enjoys dressing up.
She said of her daughter: "She tries to go right down the stairs and out the door, and I'm like, 'Wait, what?' Full face of makeup, shirt in like a ponytail holder, and like a heeled boot." Melissa added that her oldest, Vivian, enjoys interior design – so much so, that she tells her parents a thing or two about their own taste.
She said: "Ben walked in and Viv and I were trying out a new bedspread I got, and Viv's like, 'I just think it might compete with the headboard.' And I literally got weird, I got goosebumps."

"I am connected to Australia in a way that I didn't anticipate," she told InStyle Magazine in March 2021. "I could very easily live here for the rest of my life. I'm in love with it."

The star expanded her property portfolio in 2020 after purchasing a $2.4 million home in the Valley Village area of LA, which features three guest bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a master suite with walk-in closets and a marble-sheathed bathroom.
