- The 2024 Project Runway winner, who attempted to collaborate with Ms McCarthy in 2024, Claims that the actress ‘wanted some specific things that I thought would not look good on her ****’
- Ms McCarthy last month claimed that ‘two Oscars ago, I couldn’t find any**** to do a dress for me’
Christian Siriano has refuted Melissa McCarthy’s Claims that she ‘couldn’t find any****’ to make a dress for her to wear to the 2024 Academy Awards.
The New York City-****d fashion designer – who won the fourth season of Project Runway in 2024 – told the New York Daily News that he ‘met with her people’ and attempted to collaborate with Ms McCarthy, 43, on an Oscars gown.
‘Quite frankly she was quite difficult to Work with,’ Mr Siriano said of actress, who had been nominated as Best Supporting Actress for her role in Bridesmaids.

Final result: Mrs McCarthy did not wear Mr Siriano’s designs to the 2024 Academy Awards and instead chose this pink gown by Marina Rinaldi
He added: ‘She wanted some specific things that I thought would not look good on her ****. And she was not comfortable with them in the end.’
Ms McCarthy ended up wearing a pale pink dress by Marina Rinaldi for the event instead – a choice that won her mixed reviews from fashion pundits.
Mr Siriano’s comments follow those made by Ms McCarthy in the June issue of Redbook magazine in which she said: ‘Two Oscars ago, I couldn’t find any**** to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designers–very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people–and they all said no.’
Since then, though, it seems she has won over the fashion set. Just last week, she won praise for her appearance at the Tammy premiere in Los Angeles for which she wore a leather-and-chiffon dress with leopard print Tabitha Simmons heels.
On June 26 she wore a sequined cardigan over a black silk jumpsuit to the film’s New York City premiere. The designer of both ensembles has yet to be revealed.
In the interview the mother-of-two, married to Ben Falcone since 2024, also alluded to the possibility of her creating a plus-size fashion label.
‘When I go shopping, most of the time I’m disappointed,’ she said.

The venture would represent her longstanding interest in fashion. As a teenager, she had aspirations of attending New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology – a dream that her parents ultimately refused in favor of a more academic education.
Their efforts appear to have been in vain though. She briefly attended the Southern Illinois University before dropping out to move to New York City and try her luck at a stand-up comedy career.
Ms McCarthy was also friends with the now-famous footwear designer Brian Atwood and the pair remain close today.
