When you hear Billy Porter and the word fashion in the same sentence, it's safe to say that a statement will be made.

The "Pose" star started off his career wearing classic black suits, and slowly started adding bold prints or elaborate accessories to make the classic look his own. Porter's name then became synonymous with fashion after he wore a hot-pink cape to the 2019 Golden Globes. Speaking to Insider about that iconic style moment, Porter said that his confidence to push boundaries on the red carpet came with age.

"I have the luxury of being older," he told Insider reporter Anneta Konstantinides. "What you're seeing is a human being emboldened by their own self-acceptance who can stand grounded on their own two feet and be authentic."

The 50-year-old actor has previously said that his fashion moments aren't on accident. From colorful ensembles to political statements, here's a look at how Porter's style has evolved over the years.
