It looks like this holiday season is a bright one for Melissa McCarthy! Not only has she just scored a Golden Globe nomination for Spy, she's also making her way into our wardrobes with the second installment of her clothing collection MelissaMcCarthy Seven7 just in time for Christmas.
And of course the popular star made sure the ad campaign for her fashion line is funny as wellas stylish. In one snap, the Bridesmaids star is wrapped up in holiday lights, in another she plays around with a holiday wreath.

The fun collection features several festive party items – two of our faves are the pleated black metallic skirt and the model mix black jumpsuit, both found on her website, melissamccarthy.com.
Thiscollection follows up Melissa’s very successful debut line which launched in the fall. The clothing line, which includes sizes 4-28, was a hit and quickly sold out in all of its sizes. The success thrilled 45-year-old actress, who champions the idea of mainstreaming sizes in stores.
Speaking to People magazine, the mom-of-two said: “I know what it’s like not being able togo shopping with my friends because 'women like me' have been hidden away on adifferent floor next to the tire section.”

Melissa, whose latest film Ghostbusters is slated to be released in July 2016,hopes that one day her clothing will be featured on one of the “regular” floorsin department stores. “There’s no reason for those divisions to be there. It’sshaming, it’s categorizing and it’s just unnecessary,” she said.
Althoughher collection is for all, Melissa admits that she did keep plus-sizewomen in mind when she was designing the pieces. “People don’t stop at size 12,”she told More, adding: “I feel like there’s a big thing missing whereyou can’t dress to your mood above a certain number.”
