Melissa McCarthy is on top of the world, and now that she's won an Emmy and won over SNL viewers, what's next? The Bridesmaids star, who wanted to be a fashion designer before she ended up in comedy, is launching her own plus-size fashion line. "Trying to find stuff that's still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible," McCarthy, who designed her own dress for the Emmys, tells the Hollywood Reporter. "It's either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle."
She won't be the first celeb-turned-fashion-designer, or even the first this fall. Time offers up a list of the top 10, including another recent transplant:
- Kanye West: The hip-hop artist launched his women's wear line at Paris Fashion Week on Saturday, becoming the first male musician to tackle the women's fashion market.
- Jessica Simpson: Surprisingly, fashion may be a better fit for her than acting or singing—her line could top $1 billion in sales this year.
- Victoria Beckham: Hers is one of the few celeb lines to garner positive reviews from fashion editors, and is worn by Kate Winslet and Gisele Bundchen, among others.
- Jay-Z: The rapper's Rocawear is a very popular urban-lifestyle brand, bringing in annual sales of more than $700 million.
