Billy Porter lived up to his fashion icon reputation once again at the 2020 Critics Choice Awards Sunday, turning heads in a strapless, floor-length jumpsuit in dueling shades of green.
The Pose and Like a Boss star accessorized the ensemble , custom-designed by Hogan McLaughlin , with temporary tattoos that depicted a colorful swarm of butterflies covering his bare arms and shoulders.
Porter said the hand-painted body art was a representation of being released from the bondage of masculinity, with regard to himself as a gay man as well as members of the transgender community.
Just like the beautiful ladies from [Pose], we are often born into one stage of life and then cocoon into an incubation of self-discovery, transformation, and acceptance, ultimately being released into freedom as beautiful creatures, the Emmy-, Grammy-, and Tony-winning actor wrote on Instagram.
