  • Billy Porter attends the Grammy Awards in a bright blue crystal jumpsuit by Baja East.

  • The Pose star also donned a matching hat with silver fringe that opened and closed mechanically.


Billy Porter may not be nominated for any Grammy Awards, but that isn't stopping him from making an entrance. Since his career-defining role on Pose, the 50-year-old has made dressing for the red carpet a makeshift Broadway spectacle. He's worn a tuxedo top with a sweeping skirt, feathered cape, and shoulderless, two-tone jumpsuits. And these were for formal affairs like the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Critics' Choice Awards.

The Grammys, however, allows attendees to be a lot more adventurous—and that's putting it lightly. So, best believe that Porter made sure he came out doing what he does best: put on a show.

With the help of Baja East's designer Scott Studenberg, Porter stepped onto the red carpet in a bright blue crystal jumpsuit adorned with silver fringe on the hem. And he didn't stop there. The look also featured a matching cropped jacket, and wide-brim hat with even more diamanté fringe.

The attention-grabbing accessory was made in collaboration milliner Sarah Sokol, and, according to a statement Porter's stylist made on the red carpet, was inspired by a Burberry chapeau that Billie Eilish once wore. The best part? The long tassels opens and closes mechanically. Ok, technology!

Against a red backdrop and among a sea of black suits, Porter really showed why he is the star of Pose.
