| Billy Porter arrives at the Met Gala 2019 |
Billy Porter (Kinky Boots, Pose) stopped traffic on the red carpet this evening with his over-the-top fabulosity.
Lady Gaga may have thought she made an entrance, but Porter said, “Hold my cocktail.”
We asked Billy Porter to describe his #MetGala look in 3 words.
His response: “Diana Ross, ‘Mahogany.’” https://t.co/kgX4uqGtTO pic.twitter.com/tbRrPchevk— Variety (@Variety) May 6, 2019

The Twitterverse could not contain themselves.
Best captions so far: “Because walking is for straight people,” and “Billy Porter just told everyone to go home and try again.”

Sarah Jessica Parker & Anna Wintour critique the men of the Met Gala
Normally, it’s the women’s attire which gets the critique at big gala events.
But Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, stop by Late Night with Seth Meyers to discuss which male celebrities did and did not adhere to the “White Tie” dress code of this year’s Met Gala.
A few of the comments:
• Tom Brady: “He obviously did not look at the invitation.”
• Jake Gyllenhaal: “Brooklyn White Tie.”
• Hugh Jackman: “My understanding is this is called ‘White Tropical Dinner Jacket.’”
• Bradley Cooper: “If you read your Emily Post — which I know you do, Seth — his studs are onyx and they should’ve been mother of pearl.”
