20 REBEL ROUSER
BILLIE EILISH
IN 2021, BILLIE EILISH did something many thought she’d never do — she put her body on display, appearing in pink and nude-toned lingerie for the cover of British Vogue. Gasp! After years of being camouflaged in oversize attire, Eilish made the mundane act of showing a little skin feel revolutionary. “It’s all about what makes you feel good,” she said, addressing the haters. All year long, Billie wore what she wanted, and looked good doing it. At the LACMA
Gala in November, she arrived headto-toe in Gucci nightwear, a blend of her traditional loose-fitting duds with a nod to her early logo-mania days. At the EMA awards a month earlier, she did the same, opting for an oversize sleepwear set that was light-years from the polished get-ups one should present on the red carpet. It was another gutsy move that felt just right.
