The actor got a boost from his footwear. He wore black patent leather boots from Jimmy Choo. The shoes featured a rounded toe and a thick block heel that reached at least 5 inches with the platform base.

When it comes to the “POSE” star’s style, it’s nothing short of breathtaking and full of statement-making pieces. Whether it’s a bright pink Christian Siriano tuxedo suit dress amalgamation or a pair of larger-than-life gold wings, you can depend on this Pittsburg native to bring it every time. Porter gravitates towards the camp aesthetic as he usually pushes gender-dressing boundaries.
