Billy Porter
Billy Porter is an American actor, singer, and fashion icon known for Broadway performances, his Emmy-winning role in *Pose*, and red-carpet appearances in gender-defying gowns and ensembles.
His visibility as an openly gay Black man in elaborate feminine attire has made him a symbol of boundary-pushing self-expression: Billy Porter showed up in a tuxedo gown and broke the internet.
