So what were Porter’s best fashion moments?
And just who is lucky enough to dress this incredible canvas of a man?
Read on to see all of Billy Porter’s best dressed moments.
That night at the Shubert Theater, Porter stayed warm with a black knit sweater designed by Mr. Turk.
On his feet were black sustainableveganshoes designed by Jean Michael Cazabat, co-founder and creative director of Aera.
“I love working with emerging designers,” he wrote in the caption.
To round out the ensemble, Porter wore pointed black ankle boots designed by Jeffrey West.
Porter’s outfit consisted of an exquisitely embroidered and hand-beaded jacket with an attached, fuchsia-lined cape.
Underneath, Porter wore a form-fitting embroidered and beaded tulle shirt with a silk collar.
Additionally, the outfit was designed to do more than just look good.
“I immediately knew this look would be a very important statement for Billy,” Rahm continued.
We are 100 percent here for this!
“This look was interesting because it’s not drag,” Porter explained in an interview withVogue.
“I’m not a drag queen, I’m a man in a dress.
Porter added that he completed the outfit with shoes designed by Rick Owens.
When Porter first tried the tuxedo gown on, it was a game-changer for him.
“I felt alive.
And open, and radiant.
Which has not always been the case for me,” he continued.
He really did look stunning!
Porter’s aware that his fashion challenges people, but that doesn’t bother him.
Especially that is, if you’re Billy Porter.
He accented the look witha bold, dark lip, which finished off the dazzling ensemble.
And his black lace-up ankle boots were designed by Rick Owens.
Take it all the way to the bank, Billy!
Phillipe Blond opened up about the outfit in an interview withVogue.
As for the wings Porter raised?
“The wing cape is an archival piece,” Blond continued.
“Each wing was made to look three dimensional by using tube beads as stilts to raise certain areas.
In all, Billy will be wearing well over a million crystals, beads, and chains!”
Nowthatis how you do it!
“And I thought it was awesome because women’s rights are under attack right now.
I’m an advocate for all who are disenfranchised.
None of us are free until we’re all free!”
Porter accessorized with an Oscar Heyman 25-carat ring and diamond bracelet and Medusa-themed shoes designed by Orel Brodt.
Porter toppedthe lookoff with a bold blue lip.
That wasn’t the only outfit that Porter had custom made for World Pride.
Over that he wore a beaded and embroidered white and silver coat, accented with sculpted fabric flowers.
Those were just some of Porter’s incredible looks.
“We’re excited.
It is a classic silhouette yet heightened.”
All in all, it was the perfect get-up for a history-making evening.
