At the2019 Footwear News Achievement Awardsin December,Porter gave PEOPLEa preview into his 2020 awards season style line-up.
“I’m not trying to top myself and I don’t feel any pressure about that,” he explained. “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.”
From his heavenly gold wings at the2019 Met Galato his embellished western-inspired2019 Emmys ensemble, Porter has had his fair share of iconic looks. But, the one outfit he knows he cannot top: his 2019 Oscars tuxedo ballgown.

“I can’t top theOscars dress,” he told PEOPLE. “That was its own thing. Now we’re going onto something else that’s going to be its own thing. That’s what I’m trying to do because life is hard enough and there’s already enough pressure. My job is actually being an actor and a writer and that’s pressure you know what I mean? It’s like I’m trying to actually get that next gig.”
