Column: Billy Porter's Oscars ensemble was the most striking look on the red carpet, and the most political. “It’s the very thing I have run from my whole life.'
The only person who turned my head on the red carpet the other night was Billy Porter, the Broadway star whose black velvet tuxedo gown was as beautiful as it was transgressive.When I saw Porter, with that voluminous ball gown skirt trailing behind him, I felt as if I were seeing the contemporary equivalent of the mythical centaur — a proud man’s head and torso appended to an unexpected but perfect bottom half.
But every once in a while, someone refuses to play along. Or bends the rules.
