Billy Porter’s Golden Globes Red Carpet Look Is All About the Feathers

Category is...Billy Porter fashion realness.

The Pose actor made his way down the red carpet in an all-white suit, made by Alex Vinash, along with a feathery train that only he can pull off. He paired the look with white satin Jimmy Choo boots, jewelry by Tiffany’s and a matching bag to complete the outfit. (Black Swan, but make it fashion.)

Porter pulled off the best red carpet looks at every award show last year. (Honestly, who can forget that tuxedo suit from the Oscars?) So, we’ve not surprised to hear that putting this look together was a three-month-long process—which he started even before he was nominated for the hit FX show.

Explaining the look to Ryan Seacrest, he mentioned the feathers were fragile, but that portion of the outfit's easy to zip off for a night of sitting and mingling with other celebs.

"This is for the red carpet, but then I'll zip it off to be comfortable because it is a dinner, and I do have to sit down," Porter explained before adding, "this isn't a sitting outfit; this is a standing outfit."  

He’s currently nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series for Pose, but he truly is a winner in our book for this all-white ensemble.
