Billy Porter's Grammys Look Launched 2020's Best Memes So Far

Style icon Billy Porter did it again.


The Pose star took to the 2020 Grammy Awards red carpet in a look unlike anything we've seen from him before: decked out in a custom blue crystal jumpsuit courtesy of Baja East. The fit was definitely eye-catching, with crystal fringe, a gorgeous cropped jacket, and silver platform shoes, and yes it was some truly next-level style that we're still attempting to process.


Although the real show-stopper came in the form of Porter's massive bucket hat, adorned with a complete, mechanical fringe curtain that parted on its own to reveal Billy's face. A Sarah Sokol group effort, it featured over 70,000 hand-placed crystals that obscured the actor's face – up until he determined he'd show himself to the public. Honestly, it's the most genius hat @we could have ever seen. Built in paparazzo and hater protection? He's over here living in the year 3000, honestly.


The hat was more than just an astoundingly cool accessory, though. It also marked one of the funniest memes the Grammys ended up spawning. Just look at how several ways you could interpret that little hat "shade" starting up to show Billy's face to the public.


As you could visualize, there really are unlimited uses for the hat. You could use it if you're attempting to convey being nosy. You could use it if you're attempting to show others you don't wish to be bothered. You could even use it in the event you wish to let the world know you're attempting to speak to someone's manager. The opportunities are practically endless.


Whether it's a pale blue jumpsuit paired with hand-painted butterfly tattoos or a grandiose tuxedo gown, Porter has proven time and time again that he's more than capable of bringing some serious style and 'tude to the red carpet. The only question we have right now is, well, what is he going to bless us with next?
