We didn’t think anyone could top Lady Gaga’s Met Gala outfits yes, there were multiple but Billy Porter came pretty darn close. 

The performer and “Pose” star made a grand entrance with the help of a group of shirtless men who carried him inside. For fashion’s biggest night, he channeled the Egyptian goddess Isis, one of the “most important goddesses of ancient Egypt ,” according to Encyclopedia Brittanica.
