  • Billy Porter is an icon and a legend, but most important, he is showing up to the 2019 Emmys awards in this epic hat.

  • Last year at the Oscars, Billy made an equally thrilling splash in a black Christian Siriano gown.


The 2019 Emmy Awards are happening tonight, which is exciting for a few reasons, but none of those reasons matter right now because all that matters is the hat and outfit Pose actor Billy Porter is wearing at this very moment.

Yes, that’s right, the drama icon showed up to the red carpet in this asymmetrical cowboy-style hat with one dramatically long side and paired it with a sparkly Michael Kors pinstripe suit, as one does. FYI, the ’fit was embellished with more than 100,000 crystals, so there’s that too. Let’s take some real time to soak in the whole vibe.

In a Hollywood Reporter piece about the ensemble, Billy called it a “’70s disco throwback moment,” and wow, yeah. Definitely!

Because it’s such a straight-up mood, you know Twitter’s all over the outfit.

By the way, Billy is presenting at tonight’s show and is also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama for his FX series Pose, in which he plays Pray Tell.

But I don’t think we’ve all appreciated this whole vibe enough yet, so here is another snap.
