Melissa McCarthy made her fashionable mark at the 2026 Golden Globes.
On Sunday, Jan. 11, the actress, 55, appeared at the star-studded event in a black long-sleeve Christian Siriano gown with metallic details down the front and along the sleeves.
McCarthy upped the glamour with a long, sleek pony that fell down her back as well as sparkling jewelry by Marco Bicego.
She walked the carpet with her husband Ben Falcone.
McCarthy recently hosted Saturday Night Live for the sixth time on Dec. 6. During her monologue, she wore a black velvet jumpsuit and long wavy hairstyle.

In 2023, the actress covered PEOPLE's World's Most Beautiful Issue and said she credits her husban for helping her feel comfortable and confident in her own skin.
"Because he's so constantly loving and kind. And funny and the weirdest human I know, to be honest," she said at the time. "And somewhere in my 30s, I was like 'I'm okay with who I am.' And if someone wasn't thrilled with that, that's okay too. At some point I was like, 'They're not all going to like you.' You have to learn that the hard way, but it's a good [lesson]."
She said she also tries to foster that sentiment in others.
"When someone's being their authentic self and it hurts no one else in the world ... the simplest rule is: Just be kind," she said. "Nobody has to think the same things. It's okay to be curious and be like, 'I don't understand what someone else is doing.' "
"I mean, isn't that what love is? Loving who you love just puts more love in the world," McCarthy added. "And that has never, ever been a bad thing."
McCarthy and Falcone share two teen daughters together, Vivian, 18, and Georgette, 16.
Helping their daughters navigate social media is something the parents have prioritized. "We keep track of it. I think it is still something to be really, really watched," she told PEOPLE in 2023. "I'm sure I don't do half as good a job as I should because I'm so bad with it."

McCarthy has also opened up about her health and weight loss journey over the years.
During a May 2018 interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, McCarthy opened up about losing "a lot" of weight. The actress explained that she shed pounds gradually, over the course of five years.
"I think everybody's always kind of working on something,” she said. “And I was like, 'If I can de-stress and just do it slower and stop constantly trying to be on something.' And then it actually worked better instead of being like, 'I'm gonna not do this and do this and only drink this.’ ”
McCarthy added, “I was like, 'I'm just gonna mellow out, give myself a break.’ ”
