Deacon, who also designed a silk polka-dot smock dress forPorter at the Vanity Fair / FX Networks Emmy Celebration in September 2019, shared several photos of the actor arriving at the 2020 Oscars on his Instagram feed as well.
“And he’s off!!!!!” he captioned one snap that showed off the back of his custom ensemble.
He paired the bold ensemble with Alexis Bittar jewelry, metallic silver nail polish, a diamond choker necklace and matching silver platform boots.
“Well, remember it really originated from the moment Billy had with Billie Eilish at the VMAs. She wore this beautiful Burberry hat, designer tissue and a bonnet with a beekeepers net,” Ratelle said. “[Porter] said, ‘I love that hat’ but he was like ‘there’s no way I’m covering my face’.”
Last year, Porter gave us one of the biggest style moments of the 2019 Oscars where hebucked black tux tradition(as did stars like Chadwick Boseman, Nicholas Hoult and Pharrell Williams).

“When you come tothe Oscars, you must dress up,” Porter tweeted at the time of his custom ensemble, comprised of a velvet and satin tuxedo jacket and strapless ball gown. “ThanksChristian Sirianofor your custom couture masterpiece.” He accented his look with dazzling jewelry and ruffled cuffs. And though the look was both intricate and impeccable, Siriano revealed on the E! preshow that they had less than a week to pull the whole thing together.
“Listen, we had no time. One week,” Siriano revealed. “I fit his stylist’s assistant in this dress because we had no time.” Fortunately, it didn’t need any alterations before Porter debuted it on the carpet. And Siriano wasn’t surprised at all to see what a major impact it made.
Several months after the now-iconic Oscars fashion moment,Porter told PEOPLEthat “the whole fashion thing” came as a surprise because he doesn’t go out of his way to make a statement on the red carpet.
“I’m not trying to top myself and I don’t feel any pressure about that,” thePosestar said. “It’s interesting to me that that’s always the question and that we’re always in this space of who’s the best [dressed] and who’s the worst [dressed]. There is room and space for everything and everybody.”
