She's half the woman she was! Melissa McCarthy reveals her slimmed down figure as she hosts red carpet event in LA

She's the third highest paid actress in the world. 

And as Melissa McCarthy's bank balance grows it seems her weight is shrinking in equal proportion. 

The Bridesmaids star looked a shadow of her former self as she hosted a celeb packed event for shoe designer Brian Atwood in Los Angeles on Friday night.

She was reported to have lost around 50 pounds in June but looks to have continued slimming down as she showed off her slimmer frame on the red carpet. 

The 45-year-old actress chose a floaty black dress with nude heels for the Celebration of Pumped party which was also attended by Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble. 

She outlined her infectious smile with a glossy scarlet lip and showed off her radiant skin in picture-perfect make-up with a peach blush and bronze eye.

Her glossy chestnut tresses were styled in sleek waves, to complete her A-List look. 

The star earned $23 million in 2015, according to Forbes, beaten only by Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson.  

The Groundlings alumna has been spotted out walking over the past few months, and is noticeably less curvy than she was last August at the Emmy Awards.

She's due to star in the all-female remake of Ghostbusters, due out in 2016. 

And is also shooting The Boss, which is directed by Melissa's husband Ben Falcone, who is also one of the comedy's writers.

The film, which also stars Peter Dinklage, is slated for an April 2016 release.

The couple have two daughters, Vivian, 8, and 5-year-old Georgette.

Put yourself in Kris's Manolo Blahnik shoes

Everyone's favourite momager was dressed to impress to attend Brian Atwood's Celebration of PUMPED in Los Angeles.

Her daughters may be gracing the cover of magazines, sitting FROW and even walking the runways for top designers, but Kris Jenner has proved here that good style runs in the genes.

She's head of the family, and one step ahead of the trend game, if you ask us. Just check out her chic collarless military jacket (a huge look for this autumn/winter) layered over a rather daring body stocking, finished off with some fabulous Manolo Blahnik heels.

Famously the go-to choice for fashionistas everywhere thanks to Carrie Bradshaw, Manolos make a classic addition to any shoe collection.

Unfortunately Kris's exact pair has sold out, but click right to discover a very similar style. Alternatively, get the look for less with our high-street options below.
