Throughout his career, Perez has been inspired by Bette Midler, and his working relationship with the actor contributed to the success of her new and improved costumes. "I'm a costume designer because of watching Bette Midler films. We really bonded, and she trusted me, while giving a lot of input. When I made the buckle on her dress, I did a pair of buckles so there were opposing stars. We put them on her, and she said, 'Sal, I think it's too much. Let's just do one.' Now that I see the costume, it's much more visually pleasing to have just one single buckle as opposed to two."
