Melissa McCarthy Pops in Pastels and Tulle With Adam Shankman for Theater Benefit Gala
Melissa McCarthy attended the Center Theatre Group Hosts CTG the Gala on Monday in Los Angeles. The Oscar-nominated actress was joined by friend and director Adam Shankman.
For the occasion, McCarthy embraced springtime pastels and tulle, fashioning a look by Mac Duggal. The tiered, strapless A-line dress featured layers of tulle ruching in a soft seafoam green hue. McCarthy kept her look monochrome, wearing a similarly colored blazer over her dress.

She also wore a pair of platform heels in the same color. “The Little Mermaid” actress accessorized her look with a rainbow bag by Kurt Geiger, glittering bracelets and rings, and fastened a few brooches to the lapel of her blazer.
McCarthy previously wore a design by Mac Duggal for the PGA Awards in February, fashioning a metallic purple gown with a pleated floor-length skirt and long sleeves. She was styled by Katja Cahill for the event.
McCarthy’s latest look is a true color contrast to another recent ensemble. At the opening night of the new Broadway musical “Suffs” on April 18, McCarthy wore an all-black look with coordinated blazer and pants and a sheer mock-neck long-sleeve top. The subdued outfit was the ideal canvas for her statement accessory.
The actress wore a pair of Tender and Dangerous nude embroidered gloves adorned with the phrases “Can ladies kill?” along the front and “Kiss here” up the middle finger, as well as images of knives, cigarettes and diamonds. Along with these past two looks, McCarthy has also worn pieces by Christian Siriano, Valdrin Sahiti and more in 2024.
