Billy Porter’s stylist Sam Ratelle told Page Six last month he doesn’t want to just look fabulous on the red carpet, he wants to use the red carpet as a platform for his activism.
“Like when he [Billy Porter] started wearing dresses recently, that was very specific because of all the stuff that was going on in the White House regarding transgender rights. We started talking about it and we’re like, we have to start representing these people because you have to normalize that somehow publicly. There has to be visibility,” Ratelle said.
So there ya have it, Billy Porter wore a tuxedo-gown on the red carpet to “resist” Trump.
