This ‘SNL’ Actress Put The Fashion World On Blast And Got The Best Response
We’re all so excited to see the reboot of “Ghostbusters”” starring female comedy champions, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones.
As the cast gears up for the premiere on July 9, Leslie Jones tweeted about her struggle to find designers who were willing to make her a dress for the big night.
It’s no secret that Jones isn’t your stereotypical movie star. Aside from being straight-up hilarious, the “SNL” actress is known for her unapologetically real rants on Twitter. She’s quick to call people out, and that’s exactly what she did when no one offered to design a dress for her to wear to this big event, a concern that has been expressed by several stars over Hollywood beauty and body standards.
Apparently, she had reached out to some designers only to be turned down.
It's so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie. Hmmm that will change and I remember everything

Jones even wanted to expose the designers who didn’t want to help her.
Hmm what a difference a tweet makes. Should I name the designers that didn't look out?Put y'all ass on blast. You will not get my love later

Of course, her fans responded with a flood of supportive replies.
Nah, sis…you're dope. Don't give them any shine. @Lesdoggg

Nah. You're better than that. But never forget how they wouldn't give you the time of day. #shitlist https://t.co/NxMregZDVb

Some retail stores and designers reached out on Twitter after she called the fashion industry out.
@missbeaux @Lesdoggg Hi Leslie, We can definitely help find you the perfect dress! Can you please DM us your contact info so we may assist?

And then, out of the Twitterverse, designer Christian Siriano appeared.
@Lesdoggg Check your replies – amazing designer @CSiriano is waving at you – he can make you a real goddess on the red carpet! DM him!!!!

Of course, she was super into the idea.
@CSiriano YAAAAAASSSSSS
— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) June 28, 2016
It’s too bad other designers limit themselves to creating looks for only one type of body. Obviously, Siriano’s creativity and expertise know no bounds. Siriano has designed dresses for Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, to name a few.
We can’t wait to see what he comes up with for Jones’ red carpet look at the “Ghostbusters” premiere.
