Melissa McCarthy Attends the 2025 Golden Globes in a Cape So Big, It Took Her 15 Minutes to Get in the Car

Melissa McCarthy made a splash on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet.

The year is just getting started, but the actress, 54, already rocked one of her most memorable looks yet — a custom hot pink Christian Siriano flared jumpsuit — on the carpet alongside her husband Ben Falcone, whom she's been married to since 2005.

While bold in color, McCarthy's bespoke ensemble was also bold in design as it was accessorized with a dramatic cape coated in various shades of pink and layers of ruffles. It was so dramatic, in fact, that it had it's own train.

Speaking with E! on the red carpet, Falcone said that getting to the carpet was a journey because of his wife's outfit. "Getting her in the car took about 15 minutes," he told reporter Zuri Hall.

Siriano posted further proof of how gigantic McCarthy's cape was on Instagram, sharing a photo of him being the grand cloak's escort. "Dressing this woman is soooo much fun we just have a blast creating fun fashion moments!!" he wrote.

The Project Runway winner and celeb-loved designer has a close relationship with McCarthy. For the 2023 Oscars, he dressed the star in a cardinal confection for that was designed just days before the show due to a pipe burst in Siriano's studio that required him to make the ball gown from scratch.

Another perk of McCarthy's look? the towering heels. "I've never had anyone be like, 'I can't see over you.' I'm like, oh, I feel tall," the Gilmore Girls alum joked.

Falcone, 51, chose a more subtle look consisting of a matte black suit adorned with a sparkly brooch and a satiny turtleneck.

McCarthy, who's been nominated for a Golden Globe for Can You Ever Forgive Me and Spy in 2019 and 2016 respectively, is attending this year's ceremony as a presenter. The hit show, Only Murders in the Building, in which she guest starred as Doreen, is also nominated for best television series musical or comedy.

On shooting the Hulu series with Meryl Streep, who joined the cast in season 3, McCarthy told E!: "Fever dream. I literally finished that day, and I was like, I can just go lay down and watch cooking shows for the rest of my life. If I never worked again, I'd be like, I'm okay with that."
