Lucy from The Rookie is Stunning in Real Life

The Rookie’s Melissa O’Neil is beautiful, whether dressing casual or glamorous

When she’s not playing Lucy Chen on “The Rookie,” Canadian actor and singer Melissa O’Neil wears a style that’s all her own. She has worn dresses on red carpets that have flowing fabric up top and fall nicely on her waist with a simple skirt. A lot of her outfits give the illusion of movement with elements like big, puffy sleeves and then are more fitted toward the bottom. She often opts for neutral-colored heels to add some height. 

At times, O’Neil has dressed in less-feminine ensembles, looking stylish in a suit jacket or slacks. The petite actor has even proven that she knows how to rock wide-legged pants if you’re short. One of our favorite looks from O’Neil came during a 2023 appearance on “Celebrity Family Feud,” where she wore an outfit her character on “The Rookie” would love: a low-cut black crop top with a matching shawl and blood-orange capri pants. Her dark-brown hair was curly and had a touch of blond ombré on the tips, creating extra allure.

On Instagram, O’Neil has shown off her at-home wardrobe, which appears to be casual and sporty. A frequent hiker, she’ll wear sneakers and a warm puffer jacket along with her go-to accessory of perfectly styled oversized sunglasses. O’Neil even experiments with her hair in real life more than she does on “The Rookie,” trying different colors like varying shades of blond highlights and even dyeing her hair pink in 2024. Ultimately, the “Dark Matter” actor is gorgeous IRL, and that’s all there is to it.
