Melissa McCarthy is believed to be 5ft 2 (157.5 cm), which makes her shorter than the average American woman. Her husband, Ben Falcone, is taller than her, measuring 5′ 6″ (168 cm).

Melissa McCarthy’s Shoe Size and Style Choices
Despite her 5’2″ stature, McCarthy approaches her roles with the boldness of someone much larger.
“I always think I’m a 6-foot-4 guy who can do everything — and then I realize I’m 5-2 and I can’t. I still run at it with the gusto of a 6-4 man,” she said about her height in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment.
Melissa McCarthy’s US shoe size of 7 converts to a UK size 4.5, an EU size 37.5, and an Australian size 5.5.

Elegance at the Palm Springs International Film Festival: McCarthy’s Stylish Appearance
In January 2014, Melissa McCarthy attended Variety’s Creative Impact Awards and 10 Directors to Watch Brunch during the 25th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival.

The ‘Bridesmaids’ actress looked stunning in a flattering floral-patterned wrap dress by ASOS. We’d ditch the black-and-orange snakeskin clutch, though, as it seemed out of place.
A simple black or white clutch would have been perfect since her dress was already busy enough.

The Right Fit: McCarthy’s Experiment With Jimmy Choo “Hammer” Sandals
Melissa’s strappy shoes added an edge to her look. Unfortunately, they did not complement her outfit. We think she should have worn a pair of leg-lengthening platform pumps instead.

Her Jimmy Choo “Hammer” sandals are soft suede and have a lace-up front that guarantees proper fitting.
Another feature we love is the 4.7-inch stacked heels, which come in black-and-white horizontal stripes. Completing these sandals are the 0.8-inch platforms and the zip fastening at the back.
