Pose actor Billy Porter has set the bar high for today's Oscars red carpet, stepping out in a tuxedo gown designed by Christian Siriano.

Dressed in what can only be described as 'luxe-velvet' Porter was clearly ready to take his moment, serving all kinds of fierce looks to the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Arriving with his husband, Adam Smith, Porter is not just there for fun. He'll be working the carpet as the fashion correspondent for US network ABC's coverage. Ahead of the show, he wrote on Instagram, "Just wait until you see what I'm wearing. See you at the Oscars, Children!"

Porter did not disappoint, with many on Twitter giving their stamp of approval.
As one Twitter user wrote, "Cinderella Who?"
