Billy Porter's Motorized Fringed Hat Is the Best Thing to Grace the Grammys

Billie Eilish and her older brother, Finneas O'Connell, swept the biggest categories at the 2020 Grammys.

He's back at it again! 

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

Not only is she this year’s breakthrough star; she’s also our unexpected meme queen. Billie Eilish’s Oscars 2020 meme reaction to Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph was GIF-folder-fodder for even the best of us. The 18-year-old attended the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 9, and while seated in the audience of the Hollywood, California’s Dolby Theatre, she couldn’t hide a particularly hilarious face from the Oscars’ camera crew. We can already see ourselves copying it on the daily.

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.”

When stylist Sam Ratelle creates looks with Billy Porter, they “always look to blur the lines between masculinity and femininity.”

While the US decides on the impeachment of President Donald Trump, Emmy-winning actor Billy Porter returned to address the LGBTQ community. The 'Pose' actor took a moment to urge the people of America to vote this year but also brought everyone's attention to the hardships faced by the people of the community every single day. Just a few hours before Donald Trump could deliver his speech, Porter took to the stage and urged people to end 'one of the biggest crises' i.e. Trump's presidency. 

On Tuesday night (Feb. 4), President Donald Trump is scheduled to appear before a joint session of Congress to deliver his third State of the Union address to the nation, in the House chamber where he was impeached back in December.

Billy Porter, along with his iconic tuxedo gown from last year’s Oscars, will be making an appearance in season 51 of the classic children’s show Sesame Street.

It hasn’t even been a month yet and 2020 is already turning out to be a successful year for Billie Eilish. After owning the night at the Grammy Awards last week, the 18-year-old singer will is all set to take the stage at Oscars 2020. The news was announced on The Academy’s twitter handle. “Are you ready? @billieeilish will take to the #Oscars stage for a special performance! Watch live on @ABC,” the tweet read. The announcement was also posted by the songstress on her account.

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:

Billie Eilish had an historic night at the Grammys, winning five trophies and smashing a glass ceiling in the process. But was the “Bad Guy” singer also winning on social media? Duh.

The No. 1 LP on Billboard's 2019 year-end albums chart is also the Grammys' top full length.

While Billie Eilish may have made Grammy history with her wins in all Big Four categories on Sunday night, the internet took their hats off for Pose star Billy Porter. 

Billie Eilish is quickly making history. 

Billy Porter arrived to the 2020 Grammy Awards in a blue crystal Baja East jumpsuit and matching fringed hat by Sarah Sokol Millinery.The row of dangling crystals hanging from his hat brim was mechanically powered to part and reveal his face. Naturally, the Internet memed the impressive headpiece.
