Billy Porter's Best Red Carpet Looks Honestly Belong in a Museum

To say that Billy Porter knows how to turn heads on the red carpet would be an understatement. The EGOT-chasing singer and actor [1] is a pioneer in gender-defying fashion, and his award show looks are truly high-couture custom-made works of art. On last year's Oscars red carpet, Porter stole the show in a custom tuxedo gown [2] by Christian Siriano, and for the 2020 Oscars [3], Porter brought his A-game yet again in a Giles Deacon gown [4] boasting a gilded bodice made with 24-karat gold feathers. (And we would expect nothing less.) Let's take a moment to appreciate some of Porter's best red carpet looks of all time, shall we?
