Dame Helen Mirren, VB, and Lots of Pose-ing—Inside Billy Porter's VBSS20 Experience

Billy Porter knows how to make an entrance. At this year’s Met Gala red carpet he was carried by six strapping gents like a modern-day Cleopatra. And this past Sunday, Porter sashayed in grand fashion to take his seat in the front row at VB’s Spring Summer 2020 Collection. Dressed in the Victoria, Victoria Beckham pre-Spring Summer Map Print top and split-hem Victoria trouser, Porter was the picture of a runway regular. Gucci heeled boots, Alexis Bittar earrings, Mimi Prober jewelry, and Smith Society sunglasses punctuated the star’s ensemble with 1970s flair. "Victoria's designs have an eternal elegance," says Porter. "They immediately exude refinement and the pairing of colors is impeccable." Below, Porter shares his snaps from photographer Santiago Felipe capturing everything from posing with two queens—Dame Helen Mirren and VB—to getting ready for Sunday’s show.
