Leslie Jones is a cast member on Saturday Night Live and stars in the upcoming remake of the 80s hit Ghostbusters, but she’s having trouble finding a dress for the film’s premiere red carpet.
Jones took to Twitter Tuesday to express express her frustration. “It’s so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for move,” she said. “Hmmm that will change and I remember everything.”

Designer Christian Siriano soon replied to the tweet.

Any designer who turned her down missed an opportunity for an incredible showing on the statuesque comedian. Jones and her Ghostbusters co-stars cover the July issue of Elle Magazine. On the cover she wears Sophie Theallet and Triumph and in the issue she’s sporting a floral Dolce & Gabbana dress. She looked incredible.
The upside to all of this is the prospect that Christian Siriano might dress her. The Project Runway alum has an incredible track record of dressing Women of Color who aren’t stick thin.
