Billy Porter's latest red carpet look has been given the royal meme treatment, with hilarious - and fabulous - results.

The Pose star has earned a reputation for slaying the red carpet, so expectations were already high when he stepped out at yesterday's GRAMMY Awards.

And he didn't disappoint.

Wearing a glittery turquoise suite with tasseled pants and silver boots, it was Porter's incredible hat that had social media users excited. Designed by Scott Studenberg and produced by Sarah Sokol Millinery, the hat was mechanically engineered to move silver tassels around the hat's brim.

Needless to say, the dramatic entrance look was immediately inducted into the meme hall of fame. Here are some of our favourites:
Sharing his outfit on Instagram, Porter joked "get on my nerves, and the curtain closes!"

We'd believe it!
