Hello and Happy Wednesday!
I hope you all are having a good week so far!
This week for my Fashion Inspo I chose Billy Porter!
I feel like I cannot in good conscious, write a fashion blog without including him! Billy Porter is a fashion icon! His looks never disappoint! And they are always head-turning and show stopping!

You may know Billy as an actor, singer, or writer -all of which he is very accomplished. He began in the theater, starring in Broadway musicals like Kinky Boots. I knew him best in his role in the FX show, Pose. for which he was nominated for three Golden Globes and won an Emmy. He made history by winning that Emmy by being the first gay, black man ever nominated/winning for a lead acting category.
The first time I really started to follow him style wise, was when he wore the fitted tuxedo gown made by Christian Siriano to the 91st Academy Awards! I remember the E! News reporters fawning over it. I happened to miss seeing him, so of course, I began furiously googling to see what all of the fuss was about. They were right to fawn about it! It was such a dynamic look! And he wore it so elegantly!
After people were surprised at some of his previous fashion choices, Billy was inspired to ask Christian Siriano to make him a ball gown because he 'wanted to wear one' and 'wanted to challenge people's ideas about masculinity.'

Since then, Billy's styles have continued to make waves. Who can forget the turquoise jumpsuit with the motorized hat?! Or the white tuxedo jacket with the feathered train? Or the royal purple cape with the matching wide brimmed hat and gloves (pictured down below)? In fact, does Billy have off duty looks!? The closest I could find all still looked on point!
As a gay, black man Billy is a huge inspiration for many others out there. He is a voice of courage to those who also wish to wear ball gowns but have not had the courage to do it yet. Artistically, he is a huge inspiration to me. He makes me want to take more chances, put out more that can really get people talking and thinking. Of course, style-wise I LOVE him! I always look forward to seeing what he comes up with next!
Thank you, Billy Porter! You are a force to be reckoned with! Keep on being you!
Thanks for reading! See you guys on Friday! =D
