Attending the Spy movie premiere in New York, Melissa showed off her slim physique in a pale long-sleeved patterned dress that came in at the waist.
Posing confidently with her hand on her hip, the 44-year-old teamed her look with lashings of pink lipstick, wearing her brunette locks sleek and straight.
The premiere was held at AMC Loews Lincoln Square, with Melissa's Spy co-stars Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham, Jude Law and director Paul Feig also attending.
Despite being pictured looking slimmer recently, the actress previously told Rolling Stone magazine that she had no interest in shedding the pounds.

She explained: “I could eat healthier, I could drink less."
Melissa also added at the time: "I should be learning another language and working out more, but I’m just always saying, ‘Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'”
The funnywoman plays desk-based CIA analyst Susan Cooper in her latest movie Spy, who volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a dangerous arms dealer and save the world.
"I love the spy genre and I'm a big fan of that type of movie," she explained to reporters at the London premiere last week.

The star continued: "When Paul and I first spoke about it, we said if Susan stays smart and the action scenes stay dangerous, we'll get something special. I think we did it."
Melissa threw herself into the action scenes, which include fighting with weapons, riding a scooter around Rome and more.
She said she was already keen for a sequel, adding: "The action scenes were sore and tiring but really fun.
"I would love to do it again, I thoroughly enjoyed it."
