Billie Eilish’s decision to wear baggy clothes wasn’t just about fashion. She has talked about why she chose to dress in oversized outfits and how her style has changed over time to include more form-fitting looks.
Here are three key moments where fans got a peek at her figure, showing how her fashion has evolved.
Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell was born on December 18, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. She is an American singer and songwriter who became famous with her first single, “Ocean Eyes,” in 2015.
Billie Eilish, who has openly discussed her struggles with body image, quickly rose to fame in the music industry. Her debut album, *”When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”* topped charts around the world, proving she was a major talent to watch. Despite her success, Eilish continued to keep her body hidden, choosing baggy clothes as a way to feel more comfortable in the spotlight.
For years, Billie Eilish became known for her signature oversized clothes and layered chains, which sparked curiosity and speculation about her appearance. However, there are a few moments where Eilish’s figure is visible, offering a glimpse into her evolving style. These three featured images highlight how the singer’s look has shifted, showing a more confident side of her while still staying true to her individuality.

In 2017, Billie Eilish rocked a look that was both laid-back and stylish. She attended an event wearing an oversized fishnet shirt, which added to her signature casual, edgy vibe. This outfit showcased her ability to mix comfort with fashion-forward choices, staying true to her unique style.
At one point, a paparazzo snapped a rare photo of Billie Eilish in a tight tank top and shorts, revealing more of her figure than usual. The image spread quickly online, with people commenting on her appearance, some even suggesting she looked older than her age. This moment fueled more discussion about her body and her choice to typically wear baggy clothes.
The photo, taken when Billie Eilish was quickly walking from her car to her brother’s house, caused many different reactions. Some people supported her, praising body positivity, while others shared negative and hurtful comments.
Billie explained, “I think the people around me were more worried about it than I was. The reason I used to hurt myself was because of my body. To be honest, I only started wearing baggy clothes because of my body.”
Eilish was actually relieved that the paparazzi photo happened when she had a better relationship with her body. Looking back, she remembered struggling with how she viewed her body for many years.
There was a time when Billie Eilish danced excessively and ate very little. At just 12 years old, she even tried a diet pill. Now, looking back, this felt unreal to her, especially since she once thought her body insecurities were only her problem.
It was upsetting for Billie to realize that the internet also had negative opinions about her body. “The internet hates women,” she said.
In 2020, Billie made a short film where she slowly takes off a black hoodie, showing a bra underneath, before sinking into a pool of thick black liquid. In a voiceover, she wonders if people truly understand her, pointing out that they judge her thoughts, music, clothes, and body.

In a Calvin Klein ad for the campaign “I Speak My Truth In #MyCalvins,” Billie Eilish explained why she likes wearing baggy clothes. She said that fashion helps her keep her privacy. By wearing oversized outfits, she feels she can avoid people’s judgments and keep a part of herself hidden from the world.
“No one can say any of that because they don’t know,” Billie Eilish emphasized, referring to the way people form opinions without understanding her. Her fans stood by her decision to wear baggy clothes, saying it made them admire her even more, both as a person and an artist. They appreciated her honesty and the way she stayed true to herself despite outside pressure.
Many fans of Billie Eilish shared their support for her on X.
One fan wrote, “When Billie Eilish said she wears baggy clothes so people can’t judge her body, I really felt that.”
Another fan said, “I always thought that’s why she wore big clothes because I used to do the same. I love you, @billieeilish.”
Another admirer expressed their frustration, saying, “I will always support Billie. It’s sad she feels she has to dress like this to avoid body shaming from people who do it for no reason.”
One fan highlighted the unfairness of the situation, saying, “The fact that Billie Eilish wears baggy clothes to avoid being sexualized shows something is wrong with our society.”
Billie Eilish in 2021
During the pandemic, Billie Eilish spent a lot of time alone and realized she had lost touch with how she saw herself. She started to understand that she didn’t really know who she was anymore, so she decided to go on a journey of self-discovery.
In 2021, Billie Eilish embraced her complexity and individuality by posing for British Vogue in three photos showcasing her figure. She shared that she had embraced her multifaceted nature and recognized that she isn’t limited to just one identity.
Looking back, Billie Eilish shared that she spent much of her life presenting herself in a masculine and boyish way. Over the years, she realized that she had the freedom to express herself in different ways.
Billie Eilish said, “I don’t need to always prove to everyone that I’m a tomboy. That’s part of who I am, but I’m also feminine, sexy, and cute. I can be all these things.”
Billie Eilish, who wore a corset for a photo shoot, said she liked its style but also acknowledged its history of confinement. She admitted, “If I’m honest with you, I hate my stomach, and that’s why.”
Eilish used her new look to send a strong message. She addressed those who exploit underage girls, saying, “Don’t make me not a role model because you’re turned on by me.”
She also spoke out against people who praise her for feeling comfortable in her body, pointing out that it can make things worse. “The more the internet and the world care about somebody doing something different, they put it on such a high pedestal that then it’s even worse,” she explained.
With her new look, including changes to her signature black and green hair, Eilish said, “I feel more like a woman, somehow.”
In 2023, Billie Eilish adopted a more sophisticated and feminine style. She often appeared in elegant and elaborate outfits at high-profile events, highlighting her evolving fashion sense.
For instance, at the 2023 Academy Museum Gala, Eilish put on a busty display in a striking pinstriped suit. The tailored set featured a fitted blazer with a plunging neckline, accentuating her curves. Eilish completed the look with a matching skirt.

At the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards, Billie Eilish wore a stunning Thom Browne outfit. She opted for a black, form-fitting corset-style dress layered over a floor-length white collared shirt. To complete her look, she added round glasses and styled her vibrant red and black hair in a sleek, tied-back fashion.
Billie Eilish’s changing fashion style, from edgy tomboy outfits to sophisticated and elegant looks, reflects her growth as both an artist and a person. Her fashion choices show off her unique style and also help her address important issues like body image and body shaming.
By expressing herself through her style and speaking up about these issues, the 22-year-old continues to be a prominent figure in both fashion and music.
I Got a Call from an Unknown Number and Overheard My Husband Say, ‘My Wife’s Cooking and Cleaning Toilets While I’m Here with You, My Love’
When my husband told me he had a work party to go to, I never suspected anything untoward until I received a call that made me stop in my tracks! What I heard on the other line had me grabbing my car keys to confront him and packing his things the next day!
You’d think after ten years of marriage, I’d know my husband, Brian, inside out. But last week, I learned that even a decade together can’t shield you from betrayal—or the satisfaction of watching karma deliver a perfect punch!

It started innocently enough. On a Thursday evening, Brian walked through the door humming a tune, a rare spring in his step. “Big news!” he announced. “The company’s throwing a work party tomorrow night, a team bonding thing. Strictly employees.”
He kissed my forehead and dropped his briefcase on the floor.
“It’s going to be boring, so don’t worry about coming. Just numbers talk and small talk.”
I raised an eyebrow.

Brian wasn’t exactly the party type. His idea of fun was watching golf on TV, but I shrugged it off.
“Fine by me,” I said, my mind already spinning through tomorrow’s tasks.
The next morning, Brian was sweeter than usual. Too sweet, if I’m honest. While I cooked breakfast, he came up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist, and murmured, “You know you’re amazing, right?”
“What’s all this?” I asked with a laugh. “Trying to earn brownie points?”
“Maybe.” He handed me his favorite white shirt, the one with the annoying button that always came loose.

“Can you iron this for me? And, oh, while I’m gone, could you make lasagna? The one with the extra cheese? You know how much I love it.”
“Anything else, Your Highness?” I teased.
“Actually, yes.” He winked while looking smug. “Could you clean and tidy up the bathrooms? You know I like the place spotless. And it wouldn’t hurt to get them spick and span just in case… guests, you know?”
I rolled my eyes but laughed along. My husband had his quirks, and for all his little diva requests, I thought he was harmless. If only I’d known…

That day, I threw myself into my chores. The vacuum buzzed, the washing machine churned, and the smell of baking lasagna filled the house. My cleaning playlist kept me company, and for a while, life felt… normal.
I was so deep into my work that I didn’t even notice the day had gone by until my phone rang.
The number was unfamiliar, and for a split second, I toyed with ignoring it, not wanting to be disturbed. But I picked it up anyway. “Hello?”
At first, all I could hear was music, noise, and muffled laughter. I frowned, thinking it might be a prank. But then I heard Brian’s voice. Clear as day…

“My wife?” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “She’s probably cooking and scrubbing toilets or something. She’s so predictable! Meanwhile, I’m here with you, my love.”
I then heard a woman giggling, and my stomach sank.
I froze, the phone pressed to my ear as my world tilted on its axis. Then, the line went dead. A second later, a text came through with a single address. No words, just a location. The address wasn’t familiar, but something deep inside me knew. This wasn’t a work party. This wasn’t harmless.

My pulse pounded as I stared at the screen. I had a moment of questioning things like was this real? Could Brian, my Brian, really be this cruel?
I didn’t cry. Not yet. Instead, I threw on a coat, furiously grabbed my keys, and drove straight to the address without thinking twice. The lasagna, which I switched off, could wait. If Brian thought I’d stay home like a clueless fool, he had another thing coming!
I knew that this could all be a prank or something else innocent, but I couldn’t risk not knowing if my husband was really cheating on me. So I had to go see for myself. The GPS led me to a sleek Airbnb on the other side of town.

The place screamed “luxury,” with its grand entrance, sparkling windows, and pristine landscaping. A collection of fancy cars was parked in the driveway, and inside, I could see a crowd of people laughing and drinking.
My stomach churned as I scanned the faces. Either Brian was about to get the surprise of his life, or maybe I was. We’d see in a minute. As I walked to the door, a doorman blocked my path, asking, “Can I help you, ma’am?”

Fake smiling, I replied, “Hi, yes, I just came to drop something off for my husband quickly,” I said, gesturing to the toilet brush and cleaner in the bucket I held. Confused, the doorman stared at me and then my bucket.
“Look, he’s the tall guy in the white T-shirt,” I explained.
The doorman didn’t seem convinced but figured I wasn’t harmful, so he stepped aside to let me in. Everyone turned around and stared at me, looking all disheveled from cleaning and cooking, with a bucket in hand.
And then I saw him…

My husband stood in the middle of the room, his arm casually draped around a young woman in a tight red dress. He looked more alive than I’d seen him in years, laughing and sipping champagne like he didn’t have a care in the world!
Every part of me wanted to rush over to him and let loose, but another part whispered, “Be smart. Don’t just react. Make it count.” Brian spotted me almost instantly. His face drained of color, and he took a step back, nearly spilling his drink!

“Emily?” he stammered, pulling away from the woman at his side. “What… what are you doing here?”
“Hi, sweetheart,” I said, my voice loud enough for the room to hear. “You left something at home.”
Brian blinked, confused. I reached into the bucket and pulled out rubber gloves, a toilet brush, and a bottle of toilet cleaner I’d brought with me.
“Since you like talking about my cleaning skills, I figured you might need these to clean up this mess you’ve made of our marriage.”
Gasps rippled through the crowd. The woman in red took a step away from Brian, looking mortified. But I wasn’t done.

“You know,” I said, turning to the room, “Brian loves to play the doting husband at home. But as you can see, he’s more interested in playing house with whoever strokes his ego.”
“Emily,” Brian said, his voice low and desperate. “Can we go outside and talk?”
“Oh no,” I said sharply. “You didn’t care about privacy when you were mocking me behind my back. Why start now?”

I turned to the crowd, addressing them like an audience at a theater.
“Enjoy the party, everyone. Just remember: if he cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you!”
And with that, I dropped the bucket near his feet and walked out, my heels clicking against the marble floor. But as I reached my car, my phone buzzed again. The same unknown number.

“You deserve to know the truth,” the message read. “I’m sorry it had to be this way.”
My hands trembled as I called the number. I realized I never bothered to find out who had given me the tip and why. Was it a woman Brian cheated with who now felt spiteful? Or perhaps someone who wanted him for themselves?
Heck! For all I knew, it could’ve been the woman Brian was with, trying to put a spanner in the works so she could get him for herself.
The phone didn’t ring long before a woman answered. “Hello?”

“Who is this?” I demanded.
“My name’s Valerie,” she said after a pause. “I… used to work with Brian.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Because someone had to,” she said, her voice tinged with frustration. “I’ve been watching him lie and cheat for months. Bragging about you, laughing about how ‘easy’ it is to fool you. It made me sick.”
I swallowed hard. “How did you even get my number?”

“I left the company a month ago for greener pastures after working to secure the venue for the office party,” she admitted. “But before I quit, I saw what kind of man he is. I found your number in the emergency contact database. I know it was wrong, but you needed to know. My husband, Ted, was the same way. I left him two years ago and vowed never to stand by and see the same thing happen to another woman.”
Her words hit me like a freight train.

“I got another female colleague to attend the party and shadow Brian, at the opportune moment, she called you and let you hear him berate you before giving me back my phone. I’ve been hiding outside the venue in my car, waiting for you to arrive and confront him once and for all. You deserved the truth, Emily.”
I should’ve been angry—should’ve felt violated—but all I felt was gratitude.
“Thank you,” I whispered before hanging up. I was ready to go home and lick my wounds and felt it pointless to meet Valerie. She’d played her part, and now it was time for me to play mine.

The next morning, I woke up with a clarity I hadn’t felt in years! Brian’s belongings were packed and waiting outside the door. When he came home last night, his key wouldn’t fit the lock because I put a keyhole cover we had in the house.
I don’t know and don’t care where he slept last night. His phone buzzed with a single text from me that morning: “Enjoy.”

And for the first time in a long time, I smiled. Not because of revenge, but because I finally took back control of my life. Divorce was the next thing on my to-do list that day, and I couldn’t wait to take him for all he’s worth!
