Ciara, Billy Porter & Laverne Cox Celebrate WorldPride NYC 2019 Opening Ceremony!

Ciara, Billy Porter and Laverne Cox strike a pose on the rainbow carpet while attending the WorldPride NYC 2019 Opening Ceremony held at Barclays Center on Wednesday (June 26) in New York City.

The three stars were joined at the event by Todrick Hall, The View‘s Whoopi Goldberg, Pose star Angelica Ross, Madam Secretary‘s Sara Ramirez, Chaka Khan, Daya and Cyndi Lauper.

Also in attendance were RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Alyssa Edwards, Shangela, Milk and Shuga Cain.

It’s the first time World Pride has been held in the U.S. and New York City was chosen for a very special reason – this year is 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn uprising – the event that became the foundation of the gay rights movement.

FYI: Billy is wearing a custom jumpsuit by The Blonds and his coat is from the Disney Villains x The Blonds collection. Laverne is wearing an Alexandre Vauthier dress and custom Ruthie Davis heels.
