Leslie Jones didn’t have anyone to call.
The “Saturday Night Live” actress, who stars in Paul Feig’s upcoming all-female “Ghostbusters” reboot, couldn’t find a fashion designer who would dress her for the film’s premiere.
Naturally, she called out the injustice on Twitter.
It’s so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie. Hmmm that will change and I remember everything

Some people replied with unkind words.

@Lesdoggg It’s not their fault you’re built like an NFL player and look like a dude. Usually they dress petite or beautiful women only.

Jones replied to the latter tweet with a few choice words and blocked the user.
But Jones’ problem was solved when designer and former “Project Runway” contestant Christian Siriano replied with an encouraging wave.
@CSiriano YAAAAAASSSSSS

Siriano is a red-carpet favorite and has dressed Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift, Emily Blunt, and more.
Luckily for Jones, she even has her jewelry figured out now.
@HeartsOnFire hell yeah
