Melissa McCarthy made a case for pink dressing with an edgy twist at the U.K. premiere of “The Little Mermaid” in London on Monday.
McCarthy’s Valentino collared shirtdress featured matching pink ruffle adornments throughout, which mimicked pink octopus tentacles. Stylist Katja Cahill completed the star’s look with edgy accessories, including layered gold choker necklaces by Gismondi 1754 and platform glitter lace-up boots.
McCarthy portrays the Disney female villain Ursula in the upcoming film. While on the press tour for the movie, the star has outfitted ocean-inspired looks. To the premiere in Los Angeles on May 9, she wore an oceanic blue Taller Marmo gown with fringe and ruffle detail.
