Everybody wants a hype lady like Leslie Jones.
Sitting entrance row at Christian Siriano, the SNL alum confirmed her appreciation for his theatrical clothes. She shook her head in shock and amazement, pretended to be lifeless, made a biting movement, flashed the ‘perfection’ hand signal, clutched her chest, gasped, oohed, aahed and shouted the whole lot from “Sh-t! Goddamn!” to “Will you marry me?” Her loudest reward was reserved for Coco Rocha, who opened the present in black pants and a wide-shouldered jacket and closed it in an unlimited iridescent peacock-colored pouf robe.
“Yesss! Beat your individual drum, your individual drum, Coco!” yelled Jones as she held up her cellphone to movie the look.
The stoked star entertained the group and her superstar seatmates, who included singer and actor Monica, “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, Actual Housewife Bronwyn Newport, tv persona Paige DeSorbo, actor Uzo Aduba, singer Taylor Momsen and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan of “By no means Have I Ever.”
An animated Natasha Lyonne chatted and giggled with fellow actor Julia Fox, who wore a graphic black-and-white swimsuit with matching hat and polka dot stockings that she described as “very basic, very vampy.

There have been types that wouldn’t slot in a taxi – a sweeping plum tulle mermaid gown that wrapped and tied across the torso requires a limo – and narrower items, like a white fluttering leaf bolero jacket paired with an extended, slim skirt. In a launch, he described his assortment as “the borderline between dream and actuality, aware and unconscious.”
“It was lovely,” Jones advised Alexa as she rushed backstage to congratulate the designer after the present. “Recent, attractive, attractive, vampire-y.”
She’s the final word confidence booster.
