This year's annual Met Gala (aka the Oscars of Fashion) is currently underway, and while Lady Gaga and her four outfit reveals turned heads at the beginning of the night, it was Pose star Billy Porter's royal, winged, all-gold look that REALLY stole the show.

And the Twittersphere seemed to agree.

We didn't think anything could top the stunning tuxedo gown he donned at the Academy Awards earlier this year, but it looks like we were wrong. Very, very wrong!
