Timeless Red Carpet Dresses: Unforgettable Gowns That Have Stood the Test of Time
Billy Porter
In 2019, Broadway star Billy Porter took red carpet fashion to new heights at the Met Gala, making an unforgettable statement with his extravagant look. The Blonds, a celebrated New York City design duo, crafted an iconic gold ensemble for Porter, featuring a glittering catsuit with massive 10-foot wings, a 24-karat gold headpiece, and custom gold-leaf shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti. The outfit exuded luxury, drama, and high-fashion theatrics, perfectly suited for the gala’s theme, “Camp: Notes on Fashion.”
But it wasn’t just Porter’s outfit that stole the spotlight—it was his grand entrance. Carried on a black velvet litter by six shirtless, gold-clad men, he turned his arrival into a performance, fully embracing the “Camp” theme. Channeling an Egyptian god, his regal look captivated the audience, blending drama and spectacle. This bold, theatrical display solidified Porter as a fashion icon. His fearless self-expression at the 2019 Met Gala remains one of the event’s most unforgettable moments.
