Leslie Jones Shines at SNL 50th Anniversary Celebrations
Leslie Jones, a former cast member of “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), made a notable appearance at the “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special” and its prelude event, “The Homecoming Concert.” The special, which aired on February 16, 2025, celebrated 50 years of the iconic sketch comedy show. Jones, who left the show in 2019, was among the many alumni and guest stars who returned for the milestone event, including Alec Baldwin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Tina Fey.
At “The Homecoming Concert,” Jones turned heads with her fashion choice, wearing a sculptural denim corset top by Jean Paul Gaultier. She paired the corset with a cropped jacket, wide-leg trousers, and pointed-toe heels, accessorizing with diamond hoop earrings, Cartier’s Love bracelet, and a crystal-covered clutch. Her look, curated by stylist Tanja Caldwell, embraced the corset trend that has been popular on red carpets in recent years.
The “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special” featured a star-studded lineup of past and present cast members, hosts, and musical guests, marking a celebration of the show’s enduring legacy. Jones, along with Willie Geist, co-hosted the three-hour event, which aired on NBC and Peacock. The special was part of a series of programming commemorating SNL’s 50th season, including documentaries and holiday specials.
