Billy Porter has done it again!

While attending the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday, the Pose alum wowed with yet another incredible outfit. He turned to designer and friend Christian Siriano who created a custom tuxedo gown in a vibrant fuchsia hue for the star to present in at this year's ceremony. The look was reminiscent of Porter's game-changing velvet tuxedo dress her wore to the 2019 Oscars.

"THE KING @theebillyporter in this custom Siriano tuxedo overlay gown tonight at the #goldenglobes! Bammm 💕💕💕💕 #billyporter," Siriano wrote on Instagram of the look.

He also wore rings from Stefere, Shine Like Me and House of Emmanuele.

Porter, 53, is known for his head-turning fashion looks at Hollywood's biggest events. But he previously told PEOPLE it took time for him to reach his full potential as a fashion icon.

"I'm not a drag queen, but it never occurred to me that Billy could play with the masculine and the feminine in my fashion silhouette," he said in October 2021.

One thing that encouraged Porter to begin experimenting with fashion was his involvement in Pose. The former '80s and '90s-set FX series, which ran from 2018 to 2021 for three seasons, followed a group of LGBTQ+ identifying people connected to New York City's ballroom community.

"Pose happened and I was like, 'Well, if there's any space where the character that I'm playing supported the choices of being gender fluid on the red carpet, it would be the show," he explained. "I have to do this now. And that's how it evolved."

Porter's best looks have proved to be both daring and extraordinary, including his Egyptian-inspired Met Gala outfit and his Oscars tuxedo gown. But for Porter, he said it's "not about me wearing a dress on the red carpet."

"It's actually not a dress. Balance is what I'm going for," he added. "The conversation is in the balance."

The 80th annual Golden Globe Awards are being broadcast live on NBC and Peacock.
