Melissa McCarthy Is Making Culottes Happen
If you were a little unsure how to feel about the culotte trend (I feel ya) — you thought it was too adventurous, or maybe you thought it would die out soon — I can assure you that culottes are definitely still happening. People reported that Melissa McCarthy wore printed culottes while posing for a recent Instagram post, so they are totally still a thing and it's time to just embrace them if you haven't already. It's cool, you can do this.
Jumping on board the whole culotte bandwagon might have felt like a bit too much to handle, but they are happening and you can't ignore them any longer. Especially after you see the pair Melissa McCarthy just wore. The actor posted a picture promoting her new movie, Ghostbusters, and wore the most perfect spring/summer outfit. Seriously — she's nailing silhouettes, prints, and colors all in one, and she looks fab.
McCarthy wore a white blouse with an orange blazer and some strappy, boho sandals, but the best part of her outfit is hands down her printed culottes. The knee-length, wide-legged pants were a splatter print, with pops of orange, pink, and yellow. So it's basically, like, the most springful an outfit could look.
