last updated 16 July 2020

Oscars night is just beginning, but one of the early arrivals already set the bar pretty high. Billy Porter wore a custom Christian Siriano tuxedo gown that quickly went viral, and we're here for the head-turning statement. The Pose actor is an ABC red carpet correspondent for the Oscars this year, alongside Ashley Graham and Elaine Welteroth, so expect his velvet gown to get plenty of airtime.

"What an honor it was to create this moment," Siriano tweeted alongside a video of Porter twirling on the red carpet. Of course, Siriano is no stranger to the red carpet and has created custom looks for the likes of Lady Gaga, Amy Adams, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Jones, and scores of other celebrities. Scroll down to see Porter's epic tuxedo dress at the 2019 Oscars, and stay tuned for more coverage of Hollywood's biggest night.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
