Billie Eilish Rocks A Very Different Look For Vogue Cover And Has A Message For Her Critics

Billie Eilish Rocks A Very Different Look For Vogue Cover And Has A Message For Her Critics

"Showing your body and showing your skin — or not — should not take any respect away from you.”

Billie Eilish has shocked social media with a very different look for her Vogue photoshoot.

The teenage singing sensation usually wears baggy, oversized clothing to avoid accentuating her body and drawing attention to her curves.

However, the multiple Grammy Award-winning artist has donned a corset and a range of body suits to look like a pinup girl.

Before you attack Vogue for making her wear something so different to her usual look, it was Billie's idea to rock this outfit.

"I've literally never done anything in this realm at all," she told the magazine. "Y'know, besides when I'm alone and s**t."

Billie knew she would be criticised by commentators for backflipping on her previous stance of not showing off her body.

"Suddenly you're a hypocrite if you want to show your skin, and you're easy and you're a slut and you're a whore," she said.

"If I am, then I'm proud. Me and all the girls are hoes, and f**k it, y'know? Let's turn it around and be empowered in that. Showing your body and showing your skin - or not - should not take any respect away from you."

She added that she's had a complicated relationship with her body for several reasons and she's trying to encourage others to do what they love to make themselves feel happy.

"'If you're about body positivity, why would you wear a corset? Why wouldn't you show your actual body?'" she told Vogue.

"My thing is that I can do whatever I want. It's all about what makes you feel good. If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. If you want to wear a dress that somebody thinks that you look too big wearing, f**k it - if you feel like you look good, you look good."

Billie explained in her lengthy interview with Vogue about some darker moments in her life.

The 19-year-old explained how she was abused as a child, but didn't want to give details other than to point out it 'wasn't a music industry figure'.

Off the back of her new single 'Your Power', Eilish said the song is an 'open letter to people who take advantage - mostly men' and contains the lyrics: "You said she thought she was your age/How dare you?"

Elish has chosen not to reveal further details of her own abuse as she thinks it would go against the points she is making about how commonplace abuse is.
