Christian Siriano, with his elegant evening wear and inclusive approach to casting, is a designer worth cheering for. And his gowns, whether they’re on the red carpet or on the runway, definitely possess all the characteristics of a swoon-worthy garment: luxe fabrics, bold colors, over-the-top silhouettes. And although most guests at a show of his might keep their excitement (barely) contained, Leslie Jones wasn’t about that at Siriano’s Spring 2018 show during New York Fashion Week. In fact, she provided excited live commentary to the entire catwalk—and it’s already the best Fashion Month dispatch you’ll see this season.
Jones first connected with Siriano last summer, when the designer famously made her a custom gown for the Ghostbusters premiere after she tweeted that she couldn’t find a brand that would dress her for the red carpet. She’s continued to wear his work since, and is clearly a fan—just watch how she reacted to the models walking down the runway.
If you follow her Game of Thrones recaps, you already knew the comedian had some solid commentating skills. But at Siriano’s show it became clear that Jones needs to be doing this at basically any and every Fashion Week event.
The fashion crowd was really feeling Jones’ energy.
The excitement really is contagious, and it’s not something we often see from the front-row crowd. But we have to say: Jones’ unfiltered reactions to what was really a spectacular sight—a diverse group of models, dressed in their Spring 2018 best, working it for the photographers at the end of the runway—reminds us of what makes these fashion shows feel special.
But also, designers: Can you please reserve a front-row seat for Jones at any and all NYFW events? Thanks in advance.
