He will be feted during the 27th annual Costume Designers Guild Awards on February 6 at The Ebell of Los Angeles.

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes individuals whose exceptional skills and contributions have significantly advanced the art of costume design and highlights the invaluable behind-the-scenes professionals who are essential to the storytelling process through costume design.

A former three-term CDG president, Perez is a two-time Emmy nominee for Hocus Pocus 2 in 2023 and The Mindy Project eight years earlier.

His credits since 1997 also include the Pitch Perfect films, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Never Have I Ever, Party Down and Veronica Mars.

“Being a member of the Costume Designers Guild has always been a great source of pride for me, Perez said. “I am constantly inspired by my colleagues. Having served on the executive board of the CDG for 25 years, including nine years as president, I am so proud of the legacy we as a community have built for ourselves. To be honored for my work for the guild is very humbling.”

CDG said last month that Emilia Pérez co-star and Lioness lead Zoe Saldaña is set for its 2025 Spotlight Award.
