Billie Eilish, the sensational young artist who has taken the music world by storm, recently opened up about how her style has been evolving, and her insights are nothing short of inspiring. The singer shed light on the journey she has undertaken in embracing new facets of fashion while staying true to herself.
It's no secret that Billie Eilish has always been a trendsetter, captivating audiences not only with her fascinating melodies but also with her unique sense of style. From her iconic oversized outfits to her bold and vibrant hair choices, she has consistently pushed boundaries and defied norms.
#1. Billie Eilish has never been afraid of challenging problematic body image standards.
Billie shared her candid thoughts on the importance of embracing one's body without conforming to unrealistic ideals. She emphasized that self-worth extends far beyond physical appearance and that true confidence comes from within.
"We should never feel compelled to mold ourselves into someone else's notion of beauty," Billie expressed. "Our worth is defined by who we are, not by how closely we resemble an arbitrary standard."
The 21-year-old singer/songwriter opened up to Vogue about her own body image and accepting femininity while talking about their latest fragrance, Billie No. 2.
Billie opened up about her ongoing struggle with body image and how she has navigated the complexities of embracing her own femininity. With unreserved honesty, she shared the personal growth she's experienced and the hurdles she's overcome.
The conversation delved into Billie's latest fragrance, Billie No. 2, which serves as a testament to her evolving identity and her unwavering commitment to authenticity. The fragrance, much like her music, encapsulates the essence of her journey and encourages others to embrace their uniqueness.
“I spent most of my life being very masculine and boyish, and I kind of recently, in the last couple of years, was kind of like, ‘You know what, I’m allowed to be whatever I want to be when I want to be it,’” she told.
"I don’t need to always prove to everyone that I’m a tomboy. Like, that is what I am, but I also am this kind of girl. I’m also feminine, and I’m also sexy, and I’m also cute, and I’m also just like, none of the above, and I’m just me.”
#2. Her hyper-femininity on her own terms.
The "Happier Than Ever" singer revealed that she is doing her best to embrace her hyper-femininity on her own terms.
“I’m trying to be more comfortable wearing makeup, like a lot of makeup,” she continued. “Obviously, I wear a little makeup all the time, but it’s just like, big faces of makeup…it’s something that I look up to, and I admire, and for me, I’m just like so scared of it.”
When talking about the time she wore a black, sheer Simone Rocha gown to the 2023 Met Gala, Billie further showed her multifaceted persona.
And the versatility in her appearance has regrettably led to unwarranted criticism of her appearance.
#3. She also feels lucky due to her maturity.
But Billie acknowledged that the criticism still bothers her even though she has accepted her changing identity.
“I like myself more than I used to, and I’m more interested in how I feel than how they feel. But then also that might be a load of bullshit because it still hurts my feelings like a sonofabitch.”
