Hey, everybody, this is Billy Porter, and this is my third and final fitting for the Met Gala with the blondes.

And, uh, we're doing an Egyptian look, as you can see, you know, I just gave them the way we just gave them the idea of Egyptian, and they came up with this way had gone to the Blond Show for Fashion Week.

For me, their work truly is the personification of modern day camp in the most highly elevated way.

I think you know, when it's executed properly, it's sort of the highest form, fashion and the furthest place that one Congar go in one's imagination.

I think this is a factor.

Here we go.

You know, I thought I could win that Oscar dress, but this is even further.

This moment requires wings because the bitch needs to take off and fly.

It's Sunday night before the Met gala, and we are rehearsing my entrance.

I have several shirtless, gorgeous man carrying me in like Cleopatra.

We're gonna do this way, gonna set it off the stand in her way.

No, it's fine.

I just have to see if I could do it with a night with the weight.

Yeah.

You know, if I presented this way first, then I opened the wings.

I'll see what?

The stairs.

I can't tell.

You know what I could then?

You know, do some sort of this is gonna be fierce, Gaul, you know that I'm getting carried in my bunch of hunky man.

What better?

What better in the world I'd never imagined I'd be able to play my Cleopatra dreams out.

It's gonna be amazing.

I think you guys are gonna have fun for days, at least afterwards.

Talking about it.

The bug people here say hello to the bug people.

There's a shot.

I feel good.

I'm excited, you know.

Took a white lady pill last night.

You got some sleep.

Inspiration is Egypt a deity like Isis Godlike that I'm God, like darling and, uh, Oscar Wilde's quote and I want to get it right One should be a work of art Well, where work of art work.

And when I thought of Billy Abbott, he's both all of it.

So I was like, Yeah, let's do that.

All of you, all of that.

It never even crossed my mind that I was the first man to wear a dress toe like it.

Never It wasn't.

I wasn't doing it for that.

I wasn't trying to do it to sort of like cause controversy.

I was doing it because it's actually authentically who I am and what I wanted to do.

Complicated news is that it's 2019 and a man putting on a dress, still causing so much controversy.

The good news for me is that it caused so much controversy.

You, you know, because no press is bad breath.

It's like the greatest.

It's the greatest.

It's just beyond my wildest dreams.

Well, I'm sitting here getting drunk.

I'm sitting here getting these Rhinestones put on my face.

I've been here since nine.

In the morning.

Diana Ross.

Diana Ross is mahogany montage, but I've watched the montage and the thing that stuck out to me the most I was, uh, was the Egyptian look, So it was sort of Diana Ross Egyptian moment.

That kind of launched it, and then we just expanded from there.

This was like a massage machine that way.

You know what?

It's okay because I know we don't see each other, so I know you look, It doesn't hurt.

Keep my wedding ring.
