Work it, girl! Melissa McCarthy showcased her even slimmer figure on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards 2016 at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater on Wednesday, January 6.

The Spy actress, 45, wowed in a blush tunic with bishop sleeves, sequined cigarette pants and pointed-toe pumps. Loose curls, lined eyes and a complementary hot-pink lip completed McCarthy’s feminine — and figure-flattering — ensemble.

The Mike & Molly actress — who shares two daughters, Vivian, 8, and Georgette, 5, with husband Ben Falcone — scored not only the Favorite Comedic Movie Actress award, but also the Favorite Comedy TV Actress award too.

Accepting the Movie Actress award from Kate Hudson and Jack Black, McCarthy told the audience, “This is so crazy to be up here. Every time you buy a ticket, every time you go to see a movie, every time you support it you allow me to live out a crazy dream.”

She added earnestly, “I always feel like I should pinch myself because I can’t believe that I can do it.”

Plus, she was in good company! Her The Heat costar Sandra Bullock picked up the statuette for Favorite Movie Actress, and the two snuggled for photos backstage.

Back out on the carpet with her awards, McCarthy was “all smiles” too. According to an onlooker, “She laughed when one of the photographers wooed her and gave an enthusiastic, ‘Thank you!'” The observer added, “She even made an effort to ask a photographer at the end of the line if she got the shot she needed before she left the carpet.”
