All The Queer Talent on the Golden Globes Red Carpet

We knew it would be an excitingly queer red carpet at the 76th Golden Globe Awards from the list of nominees alone, which included Pose's Billy Porter (Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama), A Very English Scandal's Ben Whishaw (Best supporting actor, TV series, limited series or television movie), Boy Erased's Troye Sivan (Best Original Song -- Motion Picture) and Dumplin's Linda Perry (Best Original Song -- Motion Picture).

But when Porter arrived in an ornately embroidered cape on the carpet, we knew we were in for a real serve. And when a glowing Janelle Monae showed up in Chanel? All bets were officially off. Indya Moore kept up the energy, sashaying in purse first. At that point, we knew the night was officially for us.

Below, we take a look at some of the night's best and brightest from within our radiant community, who represented in spades -- and in sequins.

MJ Rodriguez:

The category was flowing gowns for Pose star MJ Rodriguez. So, she turned up looking like a woman on the verge of domination in a Prabal Gurung gown.

Dominique Jackson:

Looking every bit the radiant force she plays on television, Pose star Dominique Jackson turned it into a gorgeous white floor-length gown.

Our Lady J:

Serving up curves and swerves, Our Lady J, whose credits include writing and producing on Transparent, looked like royalty.

Janet Mock:

Rocking a perfectly tailored Off-White gown, Janet Mock, as reliable a red carpet best-dressed figure as any, beamed with radiant joy.

Nico Santos:

A white blazer with accent colors as the details -- the perfect choice for the Crazy Rich Asian's star and Superstore scene-stealer.

Ricky Martin:

It doesn't get much more "daddy" than Ricky (who just became a dad once again less than two weeks ago), who looked oh-so-fine (as always) in perhaps the best fitting tux of the night.

Indya Moore:

Serving hair, body, and face, Pose star Indya Moore tore up the carpet, purse-first and served up an A Star Is Born reference with a twist (our new favorite GIF).

Lena Waithe:

Lena Waithe, wearing an all black suit over a black turtleneck, took a moment to comment on the Kevin Hart Oscars controversy on the carpet, saying: "I don't think he even understood the ramifications of what he said. I do think it has to be a teachable moment for all of us."

Billy Porter:

Billy Porter, who just days ago told the New York Times "One of the things I've realized is that I've always had a genderfluid sensibility with clothes, and it was so squashed by homophobia," proved the past is in the past, with a stunning look akin to, as R. Eric Thomas described it, a "queer superhero."

Janelle Monae:

Never not one to slay on the red carpet, Janelle Monae did what she came to do in a Nefertiti-esque Chanel stunner.

Troye Sivan:

A newly brunette Troye Sivan went classic-yet-refined with an oversized Calvin Klein suit, a look that will hopefully be paired with a trophy by the end of the night.

Linda Perry and Sara Gilbert:

Lesbian power couple Linda Perry (who wrote Christina Aguilera's iconic anthem "Beautiful") and The Conner's star Sara Gilbert turned it out all the way out in accenting looks.
