Meh - he looks pissed that he didn't get the reaction that he wanted. Look, we've seen it before Billy - the oversized desire for attention is exhausting and, after awhile, is just offensive. Particularly when it's just a regular old dress.

Gaga did this (and stopped by the way) but she actually showed up in really creative avant garde outfits. Even she got tired of it - but she was on a different level.

This is just basic and an attempt to suck all the air out of the room. He's one of those people you'd want to hang out with one night, but to be friends with and deal with that on a daily basis would just be exhausting.

I feel like such an old fart, but I just don’t get it. Unlike biological sex, clothes are indeed a social construct, so go ahead and wear whatever the hell you want. It’s not shocking, but it is ugly. It just makes someone who could look somewhat attractive look instead like a clown in an ill-fitting costume. Strange to me.

The thing is he's already done this drag look and it's... boring.

Unless he's really trying to send the message to Ryan to put him in AHS.

Billy used to be charming and funny. He has a great voice. However, he is a former fatty and I think he's enamored of all the acclaim and attention his aesthetics are generating. His new high-glamour style and fashion model physique comes with a heavy price. He always looks sour and humorless because he is very, very hungry.

He's also had unnecessary plastic surgery. He looks stretched.

He's utterly ridiculous and unnecessary. A desperate try-hard. His schtick is irrelevant on the landscape of humanity. I expect Hollywood will reward him handsomely.

R32 they might be a social construct when it comes thi style or color, but there are biological factors when it comes to clothing, which is one reason it can look so fugly on the opposite sex. "Womens/Menswear" is usually cut to general body shape. If women bought men's clothing in the proper size (not baggy) most would have difficulty in the chest and hip area. Those same areas of fabric hang weird on a man.

On top of it, you have these gender benders not just picking out unisex or opposite sex clothing, they tend to pick the some of the ugliest shit you've ever seen -- over frilly, old fashioned dresses that feminine women don't even wear. Look at that HS magazine cover, where he looks like he walked off the set of "Little house on the Prairie" 😝

Ladies it’s a red carpet the whole point is to stand out idk why some of you get so worked up over this guys clothes?!

by Anonymousreply 41May 12, 2021 5:41 PM

For the record; I thought his tux with skirt was a clever play on gender styles. This is just too gaudy. You'd think he borrowed granny's church outfit (if it weren't black.)

To really work, in a way that changes perception, they'd have to be more subtle and pick "feminine" styles that are custom made for men. I know I'd start with say, layers of pearls over a suit, or unique man heels with a tux (accessories first), maybe a touch (not a damn pound) of makeup. I'd most definitely get a good designer that could make feminine clothes for male bodies.

by Anonymousreply 42May 12, 2021 5:42 PM

There's standing out in a dynamic way that works, r42, and standing out because you look like an idiot.

by Anonymousreply 43May 12, 2021 5:43 PM

R41 honestly I'm not bothered by it personally, just sharing opinions like I would on any other fashion on the red carpet.

I do think it goes beyond "standing out" though, when some stars are trying to by stapling on a progressive theme/ agenda -- which would be a positive for us all... IF it's done right. Going about it looking like a clown kind of defeats the point and doesn't deserve praise for being so brave.

R45 honestly that’s just a whole lot of projection and what sounds like a bit of paranoia - it’s just an outfit it’s not that deep. He’s not gonna reverse the course of gay rights because he wore a dress that you don’t like, but it sounds like you’re willing to entertain that idea.

Not really, r51. Billy Porter is just wearing a horrible and underwhelming outfit and it is the wrong tone of black for his skin.

Does anyone remember the episode of the Cosby Show where Denise “recreated” a designer shirt for Theo? BP’s outfit reminds me of that shirt crossed with Andi’s prom dress (from Pretty in Pink).

Forget Porter’s obvious attention whoring. The simple fact is that ensemble is just plain old fashioned fugly.

The tuxedo/dress worked because it was impeccably crafted and detailed. That piece IMHO truly showed what a talented designer Christian Siriano truly is.

This is a man that in a Sylvester documentary said that he has been trying to do what Sylvester did for decades. Son; my Nanna, dead thrirty three years could tell you that whatever Sylvester had going on, you have not one twentieth of it. That man's "femmness"was easy, non forced, natural and full of panache. It's like you don't know how hard it is to sing a whole song in the falsetto key. Also, Sylvester was a good looking , handsome man who was tall as fuck, yet he could parlay his femininity without scaring the horses, unlike you, small and bitterly countenanced.

I know that we would all like to secure the bag. I know that you are parched like The Sahara, Gobi and Kalahari combined. But you more time look like a bitter, closeted lesbian, mean, old christyun chuch lady that will be outed at her funeral after everybody talks about how much of a "difficult " woman she was. Sylvester had none of that about him.

Reading Billy's wiki entry, he is rather accomplished.

I don't see why he needs to do the silly off-stage antics, when really his work should speak for itself (and perhaps for himself).

I think he should go with a 'heads down' and get on with it approach. In time, he will have a good body of work and legacy to riff on, and would become an in-demand talking head and respected 'elder gay' down the line.

He's verging on Latter Day Madonna territory - silliness overshadowing some solid accomplishments.

R93 and the big difference is, Prince is smiling. He's having fun. Billy looks sour and doesn't look like he's having fun.

Maybe he should do an all out fun role in theatre or TV, without the politics or sob storylines.

Billy looks like he should just let loose a bit and not be so serious all the time.
