Erica Gonzales of Harper's Bazaar wrote that it "looked worthy of its own Academy Award." Vanity Fair placed Porter on its "best dressed" list for 2019. People called the dress "one of the biggest style moments of the Oscars red carpet". Choire Sicha of The New York Times called his arrival "an exciting start" to the night, and expressed disappointment that few other guests dressed to subvert gender roles in the same way. The Philadelphia Inquirer called Porter "the belle of the gender-bending red carpet season". The New Yorker described it as "a sumptuous collision of butch-femme aesthetics". Several outlets felt that Porter's look had stolen the show. Some critics joked that he had "won" the red carpet completely. Several critics noted that the dress generated a significant response on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. Year-end data from the Google search engine showed that Porter's gown was the most-searched-for red carpet outfit of 2019. Porter did attract some criticism for wearing a dress on the red carpet. American conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren called the look an "assault on masculinity". Users on social media accused him of contributing to the emasculation of black men. Porter dismissed these criticisms, saying, "I don't understand why my putting on a dress causes this much strife in your life." In February 2020, the Twitter account of long-running children's show Sesame Street posted photos of Porter wearing the dress while filming an appearance on the show, prompting criticism from conservative commentators.

According to Porter, his public profile took off after the Oscars, which he attributed directly to the impact of the tuxedo gown. Porter expressed surprise at the reaction to the gown, saying "I didn't know it was going to be a thiiinnng." In contrast, Siriano expected the dress to be a hit, saying "I don't think any man has ever worn a gown on the Oscars red carpet before." Fashion critics writing in retrospect have described the tuxedo gown as an iconic Oscars dress. Writing for Allure in 2020, Ashley C. Ford called the look "the picture of poise and regality." CNN Style writer Marianna Cerini remembered Porter's outfit as "the only look everyone wanted to talk about". Los Angeles Times columnist Robin Abcarian, in a 2022 column about Oscars fashion, called the tuxedo gown a "tasteful way to challenge fashion orthodoxies." Refer to caption Blue Gucci dress worn by Styles on the cover of Vogue, displayed with a khaki jacket in the Victoria and Albert Museum, 2022 Academics have also considered the legacy of the dress.

Porter wanted to wear a custom gown, and selected designer Christian Siriano based on his reputation for dressing celebrities whose bodies and style do not fit into conventional norms of beauty and fashion. Porter and his stylist Sam Ratelle approached Siriano after his February 9 show at New York Fashion Week. Despite the short notice b custom red carpet gowns typically take months to complete b Siriano accepted immediately. Working from Porter's desire to play with gender norms, Siriano came up with the combined ball gown and tuxedo concept. He also designed a secondary outfit for Porter after discovering that the gown would be impractical for the stage where Porter was set to conduct interviews. The entire design was created over a single week. Siriano, Ratelle, and their teams worked up to 18 hours a day to complete the outfits. The final ensemble comprised a full-length strapless black velvet ball gown over a white tuxedo shirt with ruffled cuffs, topped by a black velvet tuxedo jacket with silk lapels and black bow tie. Porter wore jewellery by Oscar Heyman and six-inch heeled boots by Rick Owens with the outfit. After his arrival, Porter changed into a tuxedo with black velvet palazzo pants to conduct pre-show interviews. A painting of a woman, two children, and a dog.

In British English, the dress code is often referred to synecdochically by its principal element for men, the dinner suit or dinner jacket. In American English the equivalent term tuxedo (or tux) is common. The dinner suit is a black, midnight blue or white two- or three-piece suit, distinguished by satin or grosgrain jacket lapels and similar stripes along the outseam of the trousers. It is worn with a white dress shirt with standing or turndown collar and link cuffs, a black bow tie, typically an evening waistcoat or a cummerbund, and black patent leather dress shoes or court pumps. Accessories may include a semi-formal homburg, bowler, or boater hat. For women, an evening gown or other fashionable evening attire may be worn. The first dinner jacket is traditionally traced to 1865 on the then Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII (1841b1910). The late 19th century saw gradual introduction of the lounge jacket without tails as a less formal and more comfortable leisure alternative to the frock coat. Similarly, the shorter dinner jacket evolved as a less formal alternative to the dress coat out of the informal smoking jacket, itself derived from out of the banyan.[citation needed] Thus in many non-English languages, a dinner jacket is still known as the false friend "smoking". In American English, its synonym "tuxedo" was derived from the village of Tuxedo Park in New York State, where it was introduced in 1886 following the example of Europeans. Following the counterculture of the 1960s, black tie has increasingly replaced white tie for more formal settings in the United States, along with ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2022 04:29:18 -0400 From: "Johnson & Johnson Shopper Feedback" Subject: BONUS: $90 JOHNSON & JOHNSON Gift Card Opportunity BONUS: $90 JOHNSON & JOHNSON Gift Card Opportunity http://johnsonsurvey.sa.com/DMSTSqekQybsvmNNUFFIMmYIM48Ep34kmbtKd0Sz6u0645iJVA http://johnsonsurvey.sa.com/zAw0QnTGvz8mY_OPIviLpH80bICfg-PhiOi6y9EuL8CKByxeWA Actor Billy Porter wore a black velvet tuxedo dress designed by Christian Siriano on the red carpet of the 91st Academy Awards on February 24, 2019. At the time, Porter had recently come into public view for his breakout role in the FX television series Pose and had been receiving attention for his boundary-pushing red carpet attire during the 2018b19 film awards season. Following his appearance at the 76th Golden Globe Awards in a custom silver suit with fuchsia-lined cape, he was invited to host red carpet interviews at the upcoming Oscars pre-show. Porter approached Siriano and together they conceived the tuxedo gown. The gown was well received by fashion journalists, who highlighted its elegant design. It cemented Porter's status as a celebrity and as a fashion icon. Critics have described it as a favorite Oscars dress and one of Porter's most fashionable red carpet looks. Porter considers the outfit a piece of political art intended to drive a conversation about men's fashion and masculinity, for which it has received praise from fashion writers, academics, and the general public, as well as criticism from conservative commentator ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2022 10:49:47 -0400 From: "Fortnite Shopper Gift Opportunity" Subject: BONUS: $90 Fortnite Gift Card Opportunity BONUS: $90 Fortnite Gift Card Opportunity http://herpaxgreens.sa.com/ImrPBWMW4kfCFRVCZxNgzR8CQIWomNvaYIZ2DWFjvDQPvw4Y http://herpaxgreens.sa.com/jO1k9ETAMmFjyk19p62IbAWG2kNpSRm2xLMVN1hZo7ShuakFlQ ty's painting is a Bacchanalian scene, centred on a group of six scantily-clad women dancing, while a group of men watch.
