Billy Porter

Porter's black velvet tuxedo gown by Christian Siriano at the 2019 Oscars, styled by Sam Ratelle, is the single most discussed men's red-carpet outfit of the decade. He followed it with a series of planned looks, including being carried into the 2019 Met Gala on a litter in a winged gold outfit by The Blonds, and has been open in interviews about choosing gowns to challenge expectations of how Black gay men can appear in public.
