Style Star on the Rise: Broadway Legend Billy Porter

If we had to pick a single male celebrity who’s constantly breaking new grounds and wowing the world with their fashion choices, it would definitely be Billy Porter.

His style has always been pretty remarkable, but he caught the eye of the entire world in the last few months after a series of his red carpet looks made the headlines.

Porter has been one of the most celebrated Broadway stars for years but only broke into the mainstream after being cast in Ryan Murphy’s series Pose. He became a household name thanks to this breakthrough performance and attended all the major award ceremonies this year – looking mind-blowing each time.

What impressed us about Porter’s style is his courage to constantly break away from the boring black tie dress code that most male celebrities follow. Whether it’s wearing a black tuxedo gown at the Oscars or being literally carried into the Met Gala dressed like an Egyptian Good, Porter is constantly turning heads, serving looks and pushing boundaries.
