When Billy Porter arrived at the 2019 Emmy Awards [1], you may have been immediately struck by his crystal-embroidered Michael Kors pantsuit [2] and the giant, western-like hat that he wore with it. But if you looked a little bit closer, you may have also noticed that the Pose [3] actor added even more drama to his look by finishing it off with a crystal manicure — because there's no such thing as too much bling.
Porter pulled off the look with a little help from celebrity nail artist, Vanessa Sanchez McCullough [4], who used CND nail polish in Silver Chrome [5] ($11) on the actor's nails before decking his fingertips out in Swarovski crystals. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Porter was wearing 130,000 crystals and $50,000 worth of diamonds [6] on Sunday night. For someone who just made history as the first openly gay, black actor to win the Emmy for outstanding actor in a drama [7], it was only fitting that he hit the red carpet with a look that's just as scene-stealing as his character is on Pose. Read ahead to see a few close-up photos of Porter's manicure.
