Comedian Leslie Jones showed up tothe Ghostbusters'premiere Saturdayin a red, off-the-shouldergown, after a tweetlast month sayingshe couldn't get designer help for a dress.

Jones, who stars in the much-talked-about rebootalongsideKristenWiig, Melissa McCarthy and KateMcKinnon, appeared at the Los Angeles screeningin aChristian Siriano creation. The 30-year-olddesigner, aProject Runway winner,had reached out to the actress on social media following Jones'post online.

The SNL cast member tweeted June 28:"It'sso funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie."

The message got a lot of traction, interpreted by manyas a call for more diversity in the fashion industry and bysome as an entitled and indulgent plea.

With a couple of waving handemojis, Siriano, whose celebrity clients include Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihannaand Victoria Beckham,invited Jones to meet for a collaboration.

The result? An opendiscussion about non-sample size figures in a slow-to-change industry.And a dress that singslouder than theGhostbusters' theme song: "If you're all alone, pick up the phone."
