I just caught this outfit on Twitter, and I had to check to make sure it was real, because it could easily be a spoof on our idiotic culture.
Nope. It’s real. Billy Porter decided to wear a tuxedo GOWN (by Christian Siriano) to the Oscars. He’s apparently trying to represent the LGBT community and break gender stereotypes and blah blah blah.

We live in 2019 but Billy Porter lives in 3019! A man far ahead of his time. New icon amidst the prevailing masculine fashion pic.twitter.com/Hzn7bUtsHo

No. Just no. This is wack for so many reasons, and it’s straight up assaulting my eyeballs. THAT IS NOT FASHION. It’s ugly. Don’t @ me.
I’m just amazed by the number of people praising Porter for doing something “revolutionary.”
A dude wore a dress. If that makes a man a hero, then we’re doomed, folks.
