Billie Eilish is about to drop some truth bombs about fashion, feeling sexy, and why being blonde is basically a social experiment gone wrong. In an interview with Highsnobiety, the 22-year-old pop queen spilled the tea on everything from clothes to crying (yes, apparently even Billie gets in her feels). So buckle up, it’s gonna be a wild, stylish ride.
On Fashion (AKA: How To Confuse Billie Eilish in One Easy Step):
“When I meet people who don’t care about what they wear — like, ‘Oh, this old thing?’ — my brain just short-circuits. It’s like watching someone go to a gourmet buffet and ask for plain toast. There’s a reason fashion week exists, people! It’s not so you can scroll through Instagram while models strut in million-dollar outfits. PAY ATTENTION TO THE CLOTHES! They didn’t bedazzle those blazers for nothing!”
On Feeling Sexy (And Why Blonde Was a Plot Twist):
“I’m just gonna say it: I feel sexiest when I’m rocking a look that says, ‘I could steal your girlfriend or your skateboard.’ But blonde? Oh boy, that was a plot twist no one saw coming. The minute I went blonde, it was like people forgot how to function around me. Like, ‘Oh, you’re blonde now? Should I address you as “Your Majesty” or just bow?’ Spoiler: neither worked.”
On Dressing to Prove a Point (Because Sometimes You Gotta Scream, ‘Look at Me!’):
“When I was 15, everyone was like, ‘Aww, look at Billie in her baggy clothes, being all cool and rebellious!’ And I was like, ‘Sure, fine, whatever.’ But then they wouldn’t let me evolve! It’s like I was stuck in some eternal teenage time warp. So I decided to flip the script. One day I’m serving masculine realness, the next I’m draped in something so feminine it’ll knock your socks off. And guess what? It’s not breaking news anymore. I do what I want, when I want. Welcome to 2024!”
On Wrapping Up Her Global Tour (AKA, ‘Billie’s Emotions: The Sequel’):
“Listen, I’m not the crying type. I’m more the ‘stare-at-you-deadpan-and-make-you-uncomfortable’ type. But my last show? It was like someone hit me with an emotional water balloon. I looked at my fans, and suddenly I was a human sprinkler system. I mean, who knew people were this emotional about me?”
On Her New Scent, Eilish No. 2 (Smells Like… Wet Kisses?):
“My new fragrance? Oh, it smells like passionately making out in a torrential downpour. Picture The Notebook, but instead of Ryan Gosling, it’s just you and this fragrance. You’re welcome.”
On Representing a Generation (Or… Uh, Trying?):
“People keep asking me, ‘Billie, what’s the secret to representing an entire generation?’ And honestly, my answer is… ‘I have no idea what I’m doing. Good luck out there!’”
Billie Eilish: breaking fashion rules, feeling sexy in oversized pants, and crying at her own shows, while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to wear socks that match.
