In keeping with his eccentric red carpet appearances, Billy Porter turned up in a Rick Owens ensemble from the designer’s Fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection. It consisted of an oversized grey sweatshirt with dramatically lifted shoulders styled with a matching skirt with a long train. The look was teamed with matching platform boots.
