Pose actor Billy Porter showed up to the Academy Awards in a jaw-dropping velvet tuxedo ballgown by Christian Siriano, and everyone is shook. I mean, just look his poise, his elegance, his amazingly frilly sleeves!!! And don't forget about the HUGE 20-carat yellow diamond ring on his finger. (FYI, it's by Oscar Heyman and valued at a casual £689,000.)
"[At the first fitting in the gown,] I felt alive. I felt free. And open, and radiant. And beautiful!" he said in an interview with Vogue. And the internet definitely agrees. Below, some of the best Twitter reactions to Porter's stunning look.
Billy is known for his extravagant red carpet looks, and I guess there's no better time to go all-out than at the Oscars, right?
Hoping for much more of this energy as the night goes on.
