Oscars 2020 fashion: Spike Lee and Billy Porter
Oscars 2020: Director Spike Lee wears a suit to honor Kobe Bryant as actor Billy Porter's 24k gold ensemble turns heads.
Billy Porter made a golden statement at the 2020 Oscars.
The “Pose” star, 50, graced the red carpet at Sunday’s award show at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif. donning a custom top and gown combination that featured a shimmering sleeveless gold-feathered turtle-neck top and graphic print orange and amber-colored ball skirt depicting the interior of the Cupola Room at Kensington Palace.
Porter also coupled the look with matching lace-up heels by Jimmy Choo.
According to Page Six, the effervescent performer was heard teasing his carpet look at a party ahead of the awards, saying, “I have something cooking for the Oscars. It’s a surprise. I can’t tell any of you. Just you wait.”

Last year, Porter turned heads when he walked the red carpet in a custom-made Christian Siriano tuxedo gown. His unique style essentially "broke the Internet," becoming a top trend on Twitter and Google as the night carried on.
