Which isn’t to say that she abandoned the world of fashion. In a move just as powerful and body-positive as stripping down, Eilish layered up. She proactively refused to let the media discuss her figure. She knew that covering her curves completely was the only way to remove them from the conversation, giving the world nothing to focus on but her sound. She made the active choice to take her appearance off the table.
What we soon learned was that Eilish wasn’t shopping in big brother Finneas’ closet, nor was she too busy to find a stylist to hook her up with those custom gowns. Billie had the voice of an angel and the wardrobe of a very rich teenage boy. For a young woman to be so covered up confused a society used to connecting an artist’s look with their sound. It was more common for a pop star of the time to sport embellished bodysuits or custom designer gowns maybe a Fashion Nova ‘fit or two if they were still finishing up some smaller pre-fame brand deals. When “Bad Guy” became the only song any of us wanted to listen to in 2019, fans were mixed on their new favorite singer’s wardrobe. It felt lightyears away from her previous aesthetic, but she was still (scapula aside) covered up. On the album art, she gave fans the cold shoulder in a slouchy white knit, a single tear streaming down her face. Little did they know how Marilyn-inspired Eilish’s new look would be. When she debuted platinum blonde strands back in March, fans thought the transformation was complete. After the success of Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? era-accented by black strands, lime green roots and oversized designer duds-the artist is giving us a whole new look for Happier Than Ever, her second studio album. Madonna was the OG queen of changing up her look and everyone from Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga has followed suit in an attempt to stay on top as years pass and new, fresh faces hit the scene. Not even the fashion! Just her boobs.Īll good pop icons know that with reinvention comes relevance. And yet, for some reason, all the Internet could talk about was Billie Eilish’s boobs. Just yesterday, Billie Eilish revealed her British Vogue cover sporting a fresh look that implied a brand-new era for not only her style, but her career. Contradictory, I know, but stay with me while we unpack this. No, really, let’s talk about them-and why we shouldn’t be talking about them.
