Last month, Leslie Jones tweeted that many designers were unwilling to make her a dress for the premiere of Ghostbusters. But the honor of designing the 48-year-old actress’ gown went to Christian Siriano, and oh how he came through. Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy were also in attendance at thepremiere and representing the beauty of diverse body types.
“Siriano got the job done in just over a week, torpedoing the flimsy excuses offered by Hollywood’s ateliers and proving that size is no obstacle to beauty.”
Oh look, your flimsy body shaming excuses didn’t hold up.
Also, thumbs up to Siriano being like “PICK ME PICK ME!” over Twitter. XD
