“So happy to stand by @melissamccarthy’s side as she was honored last night at @variety’s Power of Women, ♥️” Lauren Graham shared on Instagram.
The 59-year-old attended the event wearing a gorgeous one-shoulder scarlet gown. McCarthy also looked quite lovely in a sparkly black ensemble, which included a cape.
GettyFans went wild for the sweet reunion photo. Even after all these years, Lauren Graham and Melissa McCarthy act as if no time at all has passed.

The Actress Shares an Update on the ‘Gilmore Girls’ Doc
“Gilmore Girls” fans certainly felt excited to see Lauren Graham and Melissa McCarthy reunite. But there’s more exciting updates looming on the horizon.
HBO Max is developing a “Gilmore Girls” documentary, in which Graham and many of her co-stars are participating.
“We’re still in the middle of it, but I have filmed a little bit, and it was pretty emotional,” the actress told E! News at the Power of Women event. “And new information for me. Like, these are questions I had never asked Amy [Sherman Palladino], conversations we had never had.”
“My fear was, ‘Gosh, we’ve had all these years of being interviewed. Is there anything new to say?’” Graham continued. “And actually being placed in that environment kind of makes for a different dynamic. So, I think there’ll be a lot for fans to enjoy.”
“Oh hey, hi… we’re making a documentary,” Lauren Graham shared on Instagram back in August, attaching several photos from the “Gilmore Girls” set.
Fans from all walks of life excitedly chimed in, including many celebrities.
“SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP LOSING MY MIND,” “Booksmart” star Beanie Feldstein wrote.
“Tell us EVERYTHINGGGGGG” “Cheetah Girls” star Adrienne Balon added.
More updates on the “Gilmore Girls” documentary will emerge over the upcoming weeks and months.
