That’s when Perez revealed that she was actually “p—– off at them.”
Turns out it had a little something to do with Perez’s head-turning red Christian Siriano gown.
“Because I just said to them, ‘I’ve got a train, just take it because they backed it off… fluff it, let it go and let me out.’ They said ‘Okay.’ And then I see on the reading that they were holding it cracking the whole time,” Perez said.
“And they were stoned,” Perez continued.

“I thought it was a joke, didn’t I?” Noah reacted.
“Nope!” the “Flight Attendant” actress insisted.
The photos show Harrelson and Snipes holding Perez’s dress during an onstage presentation. Despite the humorous moment, Perez was praised online for her glamorous look. But her ’90s co-stars weren’t the only ones who made a fashion faux pas at the awards show. Jason Mamoa accidentally stepped on the long train of Perez’s dress while on the red carpet.

“Not even to sit in the audience, not to present, nothing — and I’m a member,” Perez said. Variety discussing his absence from the show for nearly three decades in 2021. “I love the Oscars. I cheer on my peers, but it hurts. It’s like when your home team doesn’t ask you to come back in the stadium after you got up to bat and hit the home run.”
