The third and final season of
Pose, which concludes this Sunday, began with a loss. Jumping ahead several years to 1994, the show s colorful protagonists are in various states of highs and lows: Angel (Indya Moore) is having trouble landing gigs; Pray Tell (Billy Porter) is dealing with alcoholism and depression; Blanca (MJ Rodriguez) has a new man and is volunteering at the AIDS clinic; Elektra (Dominique Jackson) has found success launching her own phone sex operator business.
Lisa Bonet, Toni Braxton, and Other 90s Icons Who Inspired Pose s Best Beauty Looks
Pose may have jumped ahead to the early 90s for its third and final season on FX, but the hair and makeup featured on the show is still as extravagant as it has always been. The show s lead characters Blanca (Mj Rodriguez), Pray Tell (Billy Porter), Damon (Ryan Jamaal Swain), Elektra (Dominique Jackson), Angel (Indya Moore), Papi (Angel B. Curiel), Ricky (Dyllón Burnside), Candy (Angelica Ross), and Lulu (Hailie Sahar) have had their own signature looks since the beginning, and as it turns out, each one drew inspiration from icons and television shows from the late 80s and 90s.

Time is the Big Bad on FX s
Pose, the indefatigable antagonist that never fails to make its leaden presence or its villainous indifference known to the series trans and/or queer characters of color. The Manhattan, New York–set drama debuted in 2018 by handing an HIV-positive diagnosis to its protagonist, Blanca (Mj Rodriguez), who was hardly the first among her late- 80s ball-culture milieu to be given an impending death sentence by a doctor. But for Blanca, time was also a spur, propelling her to found her own chosen family by establishing the House of Evangelista and taking in several street kids in need of a home and some maternal support. Time was determined to take everything from Blanca, but she was just as resolved to leave behind a legacy.
