Billy Porter Sparks Controversy With Outfit To Oscar Awards 2019

Broadway actor Billy Porter has just shut down the Oscars red carpet with a stunning 'Cinderella' velvet tuxedo dress.



The 49-year-old Kinky Boots star may not be be nominated at the 91st Annual Academy Awards but he has stolen the show in a Christian Siriano designed outfit.

The black velvet tuxedo ball gown has a full skirt and train and it all that everyone on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles can talk about.

The designer himself was loving Billy's entrance, tweeting: "Shutting the carpet down In a Siriano velvet tuxedo gown!”

He later added how he felt about seeing Billy on the red carpet, tweeting: “What an honor it was to create this moment!” You like?
