Christian Siriano offers to dress Leslie Jones for ‘Ghostbusters’ premiere
Sorry, Paster. You can’t excuse the designers without excusing the bias.
Later, after securing what seemed like a sure thing, Jones warned that she wouldn’t forget being ignored by certain members of the style industry. As the website Jezebel.com stated about the drama, “The financial burden argument might be well and good if we’re talking about designers making racks of expensive gowns in a variety of sizes, waiting for regular people to stroll up and buy them”. You don’t have the option of creating things for premieres. “One dress has to serve for the runway show, for sales, and to get publicity”.
Khloe Kardashian recently confessed to Harper’s Bazaar that stylists hated dressing her before she lost weight because she was “too big”.
The curvy 48-year-old is hardly the only celebrity to be turned away by hard-to-please designers. “It can be the death of a line”. The world is right once more.
However, according to one stylist, it was Jones’ own fault that she did not have designers willing to dress her for her film’s premiere. I get all that.
“We do not always need to cover as much skin as you think we do”, she concluded. “You’re going to look fab!” Or the clothes that dictate the wearer?
When Saturday Night Live comedian and actress Leslie Jones has a problem, she knows who to call. But in this argument of Yang’s, designers are suddenly the victims of their models’ bodies. What comes first? The plus-size chicken?
Siriano replied to her tweet, later confirming he would be helping Jones with her fashion dilemma.
It’s not just actresses who suffer for these “economic” considerations. She’s 183cm tall, meaning she doesn’t fit a regular designer sample size.
Within the hour, Christian Siriano swooped in and saved the day. What is surprising, though, is that a celeb stylist is turning this whole deal around on Leslie and saying it’s her fault she couldn’t find a dress – she should have been skinnier or she should have started shopping sooner, the stylist said.
After people praised him for stepping up, Siriano, who has worked with Jennifer Hudson, Uzo Aduba, and Christina Hendricks in the past, explained that he didn’t deserve a pat on the back for simply doing his job.
Just last June, Beyoncé stood in front of fashion’s biggest stars at their annual gala to accept the CFDA’s Icon Award and very gently chastised the industry for its exclusionary practices.
“We would love to help you with jewelry!“.
Hmm what a difference a tweet makes.
