Billy Porter

Porter's Christian Siriano tuxedo gown at the 2019 Oscars gives familiar black-tie ingredients a completely different outline. The tailored jacket and expansive velvet skirt work together, making the change legible before any explanation is supplied. He is worth following for the way a formal dress code can become a creative brief. Credit Siriano's construction and watch how the garment moves, rather than reducing the look to a single still image.
