The “Pose” actor, who tops the Academy Awards best-dressed list without a doubt showed up in a velvet tuxedo dress by Christian Siriano.

The stage performer, singer and Oscars red carpet commentator paired his fierce look with a velvet bow tie, ruffled white sleeves and a massive rock on his right hand. 

Porter prepared fans for his over-the-top look, posting on his Instagram  account, “The Category Is: OSCARS RUNWAY COUTURE,” and “Just wait until you see what I’m wearing! See you at the Oscars, Children!”
