The actress paired her ensemble with long pointer-toe boots, and finished the look with large pearl earrings that perfectly matched the adornments on the dress. She also rocked a soft glam makeup look, which featured white eyeliner dots around the eyes.

Melissa also shared her thoughts on scary movies. “I was obsessed with horror movies when I was like 10, 11, 12,” she said. “And I wasn’t allowed to watch horror movies, so I would either lock myself in my room, or at sleepovers with friends, watch Scream and Final Destination and I Know What You Did Last Summer and all those obsessively.”

She continued, “I’m kind of a masochist that way because I love watching horror movies and I cannot sleep at night. But I kind of love that, weirdly.“

Melissa revealed that she was terrified of Chucky growing up. “I specifically remember this scene where he’s in the back of like a big moving truck or something. And the little doll is holding someone hostage — however that happens. And someone’s following in a car or running or something and the little doll just flips him off. And it’s actually hilarious, but it was so scary to me at the time.”
