Melissa McCarthy wants to ''empower'' women with her clothing collection and hopes it will make them feel confident in their appearance at any size.
Melissa McCarthy wants to ''empower'' women with her clothing collection.
The 'Spy' star - who is launching her own plus size apparel line Melissa McCarthy Seven7 with Sunrise Brands - wants to encourage those who buy her garments to feel confident in their appearance no matter what.
She said: ''I want women to get dressed every day and feel good about themselves. I don't care what it is, if it's dyeing your hair blue, if it's a sweater, whatever you want to do, if it makes you feel good and empowered, I stand behind it 100 percent.
''And if I can be a little tiny block on that wall, I'd be proud of that.''
When it comes to her own style, the 44-year-old star likes to adapt her look to her mood and hopes the line will allow other women to do the same.
She explained to PEOPLE: ''I just don't believe in a uniform.
''I think if people have it and they love it, great, but I think people get into a rut and I've always been someone who gets a kick out of dressing.
''I like vintage, I can never pick one style. I like a little blouse that looks great with a pencil skirt but then the next day I can wear it with ripped jeans and boots.
''I'm trying to give women a closet that gives them some variety.''
Melissa - who has two young daughters, Vivian and Georgette, with her husband Ben Falcone - was happy to share her favourite piece from the line and chose a cute cat print sweater which was designed by one of her girls.
She said: ''There's a sweater with a cat drawn on it that's saying 'Meow,' and my daughter drew it and it just kind of breaks my heart.
''I'm such a dorky mom, I get choked up about the dumbest things. Not that that's dumb. It's just that she's very creative, she loves to draw.''
