Pose star Billy Porter is stunned to be “an Oscar away” from EGOT status.
The 50-year-old won his Tony and Grammy awards in 2013 and 2014, respectively, for his role in Broadway musical Kinky Boots and his work on its soundtrack album, and last year (19), he scored his first Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Pose.
Now Porter is in reaching distance of the prestigious EGOT, a title bestowed upon those who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award.

Billy Porter is no stranger to making bold statements on the red carpet, and the 2020 Grammy Awards were absolutely no exception.
Last night, Billy Porter arrived—no wait I'm sorry, lemme start over. Last night, wearing a magnificently fringed sparkling blue outfit designed Baja East. And of course the most instantly iconic part of said outfit was a motorized fringe hat that opened to reveal Billy's face. Stylist Sam Ratelle told E! News that he was actually carrying a remote control that opened the hat whenever Billy gave a signal, allowing moments like this to happen:

We expect nothing but sheer perfection from Billy Porter (See: being carried into the Met Gala by six shirtless men and his tuxedo gown at 2019 Oscars). He's literally playing the Fairy Godmother in the upcoming Cinderella live-action film.
Billy Porter didn’t think his 2019 Oscars tuxedo dress would become the “defining moment” of his career.
"It was the end of the evening, that pot roast was fierce -- you know that kind of food that makes you want to throw your shoe at somebody? That," Porter said on "Late Night With Seth Meyers", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Billy Porter stepped out at the 2020 Critics' Choice Awards in head-to-toe glam, but his red carpet look also had a touching meaning behind it. The Pose star headed out to the show on Sunday night (January 12) rocking a custom Hogan McLaughlin seafood green strapless jumpsuit with custom nails, silver armor jewelry from Lynn Ban, and custom white Coach boots. But the centerpiece of his look were the beautiful hand-painted, multicolored butterflies strewn across his arms and
It's become clear that Billy Porter is a master of owning every single red carpet he steps on, whether it's the Met Gala or the Golden Globes. Now, with his latest appearance on the runway, Porter is letting fans know exactly how he's thinking about his fashion for 2020.
By now, you should all be aware that if there's a red carpet to be walked, Billy Porter will very much shut it down.
