Melissa McCarthy has a unique brand of confidence and charisma on the red carpet. As an ambassador of sorts for plus-size women, she never shies away from bright colors, intricate prints, or daring leather. This black leather stunner that she wore to the motion picture premier of Tammy in Los Angeles shows us all that fashion genius is not restricted by size.


Here are some sewing patterns for you to try, inspired by Melissa McCarthy. Remember that accessories will add extra pizazz to your look — go for bold-colored or animal print shoes or leather boots!
