Billy Porter has made his peace with the 2026 Met Gala not being on his calendar this year. "I'm not going. I have not been invited," Porter, 56, claimed on SiriusXM's Bevelations on Wednesday, April 22. "I haven't been invited back since 2019. That's the only time I've ever gone, and the only time I've ever been invited. I was invited by Ryan Murphy that year." Porter attended Fashion's Biggest Night in May 2019 in celebration of the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" exhibit, where the Pose actor entered New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art on a cushioned chariot and dressed as a golden phoenix.
