How Billie Eilish Is Changing Beauty Standards For Women

Billie Eilish’s rise to fame has been an incredible journey, and we can’t wait to see what comes next for the queen of emo pop. Her hauntingly sweet, yet gruesome ballads have captured the attention of millions of fans worldwide. Eilish’s songs, which deals with themes of depression, insecurity and love loss, have topped the charts since her debut ep, and there’s no slowing down the singer/fashion icon. Since her first single, Ocean Eyes put Billie Eilish on the map, her fame has been on the rise. But being in the spotlight as a teen isn’t easy, something that becomes apparent in Eilish’s fashion choices.

The singer’s iconic baggy designer clothing set her apart from other teen stars, adding to her moody, anti-relatable persona. Eilish says her choice of dress is to avoid being sexualized. Choosing to wear baggy clothes so “no one can see what’s underneath” is something she’s always been vocal about. When Eilish trended on Twitter in 2019 for being spotted in a tank top, she was quick to fire back at her critics and inspire fans with her message about body image.

The singer also considers her style as opposite what everyone else may consider comfortable. Beyond being a body-image icon, Eilish’s songs, which feature themes including depression, self-identity, romance and the unappealing reality of drug usage resonate with her fans on a deeply personal level. From her fashion to her music, Eilish is a star that inspires others and has changed beauty standards for women.
