Billy Porter is set to play the Fairy Godmother in an upcoming remake of , due out in 2021. Porter is perhaps the first man to hold the role in a mainstream adaptation of the tale, and he calls it  «a classic fairytale for a new generation.» Aside from being uber-talented (Porter has won an Emmy, Grammy and Tony award), the star also expresses gender fluidity in statement-making gowns on almost every red carpet he steps onto. 

Billy Porter is currently in the midst of filming the new “Cinderella” reboot starring Camila Cabello, and in a recent interview the “Pose” star revealed some details about how his character, the iconic fairy godmother, is definitely going to shake things up.

Dreams do come true, and it doesn't matter who brings them to life because "magic has no gender." That's Billy Porter's main takeaway from his Fairy Godmother role in the 2021 live-action remake of Cinderella, starring Camila Cabello as the titular princess.

Billy Porter says the upcoming remake of “Cinderella,” in which he stars alongside Camila Cabello, is “for a new generation.”

Billy Porter responded to conservative backlash to his upcoming Sesame Street episode with a classy Instagram post.

Billie Eilish says her new Bond track had to be approved by 007 himself – Daniel Craig.

He's back at it again! 

Billy Porter’s show-stopping look for the 2020 Oscars was “all about royalty”.

The Academy Awards are a chance for many stars to pull out all the stops.

The Oscars haven’t even begun yet and it already looks like  Billy Porter plans to snatch the awards season totem of ‘Best Dressed’ much like last year.

It may be the most glamorous night of the year, but the weather conditions in Los Angeles aren't exactly prime for the 2020 Academy Awards. 

Well, the day has officially arrived, people! The 92nd Academy Awards are tonight (February 9), and soon, the brightest stars of today's cinema will gather at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to find out whose work has earned them a shiny, sought-after golden statue. For many viewers, however, there is one thing more exciting than the handing out of awards, and that's the red carpet.

Billy Porter has been killing it on the red carpet this —turning out after and becoming a style icon in the process. Of course, this isn't anything new if you've followed the star's career.

Billy Porter, whose gender-defiant fashion choices continue to trigger conservatives every time he makes a public appearance, has found himself at the center of yet another controversy – and predictably, it springs from the knee-jerk reaction of a Republican politician to news that the Tony- and Emmy-winning “Pose” star made a stop on “Sesame Street.”
