Pose star and Tony Award winner Billy Porter shut down the 91st Academy Awards red carpet—and the internet—with a showstopping tuxedo gown.
"When you come to the Oscars, you must dress up," Porter said on Instagram. "Thanks @csiriano for creating this custom couture masterpiece. @oscarheyman you have outdone yourselves once again with your iconic jewels."
Twitter went bananas over the outfit:
