When Billie Eilish first became famous, she was very honest with her fans. The “Bad Guy” singer discussed her struggles with self-esteem and her recent “gym rat” phase, saying that she had ulterior motives beyond slimming down.
“I’ve been totally rethinking how fitness fits into my life,” the Grammy winner told Zane Lowe in a September 2022 interview for Apple Music.
I began my first regimen of daily exercise sessions. And I’m aware that’s a relatively common practice. “But that was absolutely not my doing, and it has grown into such a massive aspect of my life; it improves my self-esteem and my stage presence,” Billie went on to say.

During the iHeart Jingle Ball tour’s stop in Los Angeles, Billie absolutely destroyed the stage.
She gave an explanation for her affinity for loose clothing that year. According to the Grammy winner, “Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath,” which was part of Calvin Klein’s ‘I Speak My Truth In #MyCalvins’ campaign.
Nobody can say things like,’she’s slim-thick,”she’s not slim-thick,”she has a flat ass,’ or’she has a large ass.'” The reason why nobody can say anything like that is because nobody knows, Billie continued.

“I wasn’t trying to have people not sexualize me,” Billie said while on tour in a brightly colored, loose T-shirt and long shorts that matched her hair streak. She went on to discuss her early career. However, I expressed my reluctance to have anyone see any part of my body in an interview with Variety in the year 2023.
I didn’t feel confident enough or strong enough to display it. “I would have been absolutely crushed if anyone had said anything if I had shown it then,” she continued.

The artist wore a voluminous peach tulle gown at the Met Gala, which gave off a Marilyn Monroe impression.
I was really looking forward to the blond era—like, Blond Billie is going to be so awesome,” she remarked of her time as a platinum blonde. However, the outcome was not what I had hoped for, as said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that took place in November 2023.
“I felt totally lost and confused about my own identity,” she reflected. “I created this entire aesthetic, and I was completely absorbed by it.”
2022
When Billie took a selfie after her workout, her loose clothing was still visible.
To paraphrase the “Happier Than Ever” singer, “I saw comments like, ‘How dare she talk about not wanting to be sexualized and wear this?'” she said in an interview with Dazed magazine after sharing a bikini shot in 2020. It was all the rage. Comments such as “I no longer like her because she becomes a whore the moment she turns 18” were made. Excuse me, sir. Who am I to win? I should be able to do what makes me happy, like go ahead and show my tummy if I’m feeling confident about it.

A floor-length skirt and an oversized blazer with a plunging neckline made up Billie’s fitted two-piece striped outfit. Her tiny waist was flaunted as the ensemble slowly cinched into her waist.
“I thought that I would be the only one dealing with my hatred for my body, but I guess the internet also hates my body,” the Los Angeles native stated in a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, reflecting on the negative remarks made about her shape online. Okay, I see.

The 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards saw the Oscar winner in a figure-hugging black corset dress over a long-sleeved white shirt, continuing her gym routine and weight loss from 2023.

At the 2024 Academy Awards, Billie wore an outfit reminiscent of a schoolgirl: a black blazer, a black checkered skirt, thick white stockings, and black Mary Jane shoes. A red “Artists for Ceasefire” pin demanded an immediate end to the fighting in Gaza, and she showed her support for a worthy cause by donning it.
