Leslie Jones taking note of the designers who won’t dress her for the Ghostbusters premiere

Comedienne Leslie Jones is upset no top designers want to dress her for the upcoming Ghostbusters premiere.
The larger-than-life Saturday Night Live regular has taken to Twitter to let followers know she is currently dress-less for the big 9 July (16) screening of the blockbuster, in which she stars.
“It’s so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie,” she wrote on Tuesday (28Jun16). “Hmmm that will change and I remember everything.”
Her tweet did the trick – minutes after it was posted designer Christian Siriano offered to help, retweeting Jones’ message and adding a raised hand emoji to indicate he may be interested in styling her.
Ironically, Leslie’s Ghostbusters co-star Melissa McCarthy struggled to find a designer to dress her for the Oscars in 2012.
In a 2014 Redbook interview she said, “Two Oscars ago, I couldn’t find anybody to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designers – very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people – and they all said no.”
The snub inspired Melissa to start her own plus-size, Seven7, which she launched last year (15).
