Billy Porter opted for a wintry look at the 2020 Golden Globes, rocking the red carpet in a striking all-white ensemble.

The “Pose” star turned up at Sunday’s ceremony on the arm of his husband, Adam Smith, wearing a custom-designed Alex Vinash tuxedo adorned with a massive feather train. He completed the look with Jimmy Choo shoes and Tiffany’s jewelry.

The outfit, which Porter said took three months to create, drew comparisons to Natalie Portman’s ballerina character in the 2010 thriller “Black Swan.”
