Thanks to Billy Porter, the words "tuxedo gown" have now entered the pop culture lexicon.

The Pose star arrived at the 2019 Oscars looking like he was born and raised on a red carpet in a show-stopping custom Christian Siriano dress and bolero jacket. The look is a statement from afar and it's even more gorgeous up close, with silk lapels, ruffled cuffs, and a velvet jacket and ballroom skirt. As fans on Twitter pointed out, the outfit was modeled after ballroom dance icon, the Legendary Grandfather Hector Xtravaganza of the House of Xtravaganza. Porter managed to serve a look, topple gender expectations, and promote his TV show all at once.

"I wanted to create a space where we can have a dialogue about the masculine and the feminine and everything in between,” Porter explained to E! News. If Porter's goal was to start a conversation, mission accomplished. He absolutely slayed the red carpet and everyone on the Internet showed up to celebrate him. Porter (or a savvy member of his social media team) has been retweeting the best comments and compliments about his look. Here's what the fans had to say:

For now, Porter's gender-bending ensemble may still make headlines, but his ultimate goal is to change that. As he told The Hollywood Reporter, "It's infuriating that a man in a dress still garners this much attention. Women wear pants every day and nobody bats an eye. But you put a man in a dress and it's like the sky is falling,” he says. “Are you saying that women in pants equals masculine and that’s good? But a man in a dress equals feminine and that’s bad? Well, I’m done with that."
