After enchanting people in a gender non-conforming Christian Siriano designed tuxedo gown last year, Porter turned heads by going with a two-piece royal gown for this year's Oscars.
The glint from the gilded feathers adorning his turtleneck bodice caught every eye and the elegant songbird appeared as if he had just made contact on terra firma.
He has safely descended from the heavens.

Billy Porter at the 2020 #Oscars 🧡 https://t.co/H4uLz4aa5G— MEFeater Magazine (@MEFeater Magazine) 1581287090.0
The sartorial event was designed by British style icon Giles Deacon and the Baroque-inspired pouffed skirt was reportedly inspired by the interior of the Cupola Room at Kensington Palace—where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reside.
There is no denying Porter's fabulousness, but a photo of him getting a load off was the pose everyone is talking about. This is how the fashion icon bundled up after taking refuge in a tent following a brief downpour on the red carpet.
And he gave us comfort realness.

Once again, Porter made a fashion statement—and where is his trophy for cozy elegance?
