Leslie Jones’s Twitter Makes Her the De Facto Olympics Fashion Critic (Again)

Laura Kumin was watching the Winter Olympics on Sunday night when the Italian figurer skater Matteo Rizzo appeared on the ice in a black jumpsuit with gold braiding across his chest. “I was thinking, ‘Oh my God. What about that outfit?’” she said. As she often does while watching television, she checked Twitter and saw that Leslie Jones, the “Saturday Night Live” star who is live tweeting the Olympics for NBC, had the same reaction.

Ms. Jones has emerged as the Olympics’ anti-announcer, funny and often salty, especially when it comes to the fashion, which, at its best, can be daring, and, its worst, well, she has her views.
