Anatomy of a look: Melissa McCarthy, actress

Actress Melissa McCarthy looks blooming lovely at the Hollywood premiere of Chips. Let’s see how she does it.

CLASSIC 2.0

Style staples are often overlooked in favour of their trend-driven counterparts. The fact is, one can’t live without the other.

Our Melissa demonstrates this by perfectly pairing a quieter peplum top with a notice-me tropical skirt. Well played. Autograph top, M&S, €82

GARDEN PARTY

Not a floral fan? Go tropical with a graphic palm print skirt instead. Being anchored in black makes it an easy between-seasons segue. Done and done.

Palm print skirt, Warehouse, €47

MELLOW YELLOW

Accessories can make or break an outfit. These shoes are made for shutterbug frenzies, not least due to their sunny disposition. Céline and Roksanda nailed it on the spring/summer catwalks and so does Ms McCarthy.
