The artist also revealed who is the person she considers “the sexiest that has existed in the history of the world”
At the beginning of her career, Billie Eilish was characterized by going on stage and in front of the cameras with oversized clothes as colorful as her hair; a look that became part of her personal stamp. However, Eilish decided to leave that stage behind and be more sensual and feminine, as she herself described in a recent interview with British Vogue.
Eilish began the interview by assuring that she had no problem with her old image, in fact, it represented very well how she felt about herself, but it was also part of one of the many facets that both she and the rest of the people have.
“ I spent most of my life being very masculine and girlish , and a couple of years ago I was like, ‘You know what? I can be what I want when I want. I don’t need to always prove to everyone that I’m a tomboy. That’s who I am, but I’m also this type of girl. I’m also feminine, and I’m also sexy, and I’m also pretty, and I’m also like, none of the above, and I’m just me .”
This transition to “hyperfemininity” has not been easy. Eilish recalled the most recent Met Gala where she appeared in a transparent dress in black tones by Simone Rocha and strong eye makeup that gave her an extraordinary feline appearance that she highlighted even more thanks to her green eyes. Eilish was a favorite of the photographers that night, but as soon as she got to her hotel room, she slipped back into baggy pants from The North Face, an oversized jacket, cap and Jordan sneakers. “This is how best I feel. I feel so powerful like that,” declared the singer of songs like Happier Than Ever and everything i wanted .
The singer-songwriter continues to strive to feel comfortable with makeup and more “girly” outfits, but with or without them, it’s no secret to anyone that Billie is considered one of the most beautiful artists in the music industry. Despite this, Eilish confessed to British Vogue that criticism of her body continues to wreak havoc on her, assuring that if the comments she now receives she would have seen younger, the consequences would have been fatal.
“Honestly, no one can say anything about my body that I don’t have a stronger opinion about (…) I also think that if I were younger, as if the Internet talked about me the way they do now when I was like 11 years old, I don’t think I would be able to exist , to be honest,” declared the singer-songwriter, implying that her perception of her own body is not the best.
“I like myself more than before, and I’m more interested in how I feel than how they feel. But maybe that’s just stupid too, because it keeps hurting my feelings like f*ck .”
In this context, Eilish also revealed who is the person she considers “the sexiest that has ever existed in the history of the world”, and it is none other than Rihanna .
How does Eilish deal with criticism? Taking long showers, playing on her phone, being around big dogs (they relax her), and spending time with her family have helped her cope with life as a celebrity. However, the artist confesses that she has had a hard time, defining as ” a strange life ” the experience of her being a global phenomenon at such a young age, and until now, she has not managed to get used to it.
