Billie Eilish dons lingerie in photo shoot for British Vogue
It’s a usually baggy-dressed Billie Eilish as you’ve never seen her – posing in lingerie for a sexy photo shoot. And it’s already broken an Instagram record.
It’s Billie Eilish as you’ve never seen her — and she says she loves her sexy feminine look.
British Vogue magazine’s latest edition features a cover shot of the typically tomboy Bad Guy singer in blonde hair a la Marilyn Monroe and busting out of a pink and beige lingerie get-up.
“It’s all about what makes you feel good,” the 19-year-old singer toldVogue— which described Eilish as a longtime fan of 1940s and ’50s pin-up sexpots and said the idea for the cover was hers.
Eilish posted the photo of the cover on her own Instagram page - which has 83 million followers. It surpassed one million likes in just six minutes, a record-breaking time for the platform.

“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,” said Eilish, famous for dressing head to toe in baggy clothing.
As for her recently dyed blonde locks, the singer said she was ready for them “to suck” but now, “I feel more like a woman somehow.”

But she also added, “Don’t make me not a role model because you’re turned on by me.”
The US sensation, whose second album Happier Than Ever is set to drop July 30, posted photos from the article to Instagram, writing, “i love these pictures and i loved doing this shoot.
“do whatever you want whenever you want. f-**k everything else.”
Eilish has been very open in the past about body image issues, which she has said is partly why she chooses to dress in more relaxed clothing.
She says the “classic hot girl” stereotype “really f**ked me up.”
“Suddenly you’re a hypocrite if you want to show your skin, and you’re easy and you’re a sl*t and you’re a wh*re,” she says to Vogue.
“If I am, then I’m proud. Me and all the girls are h*es, and f*ck 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.”
The seven-time Grammy award winner said that keeping true to herself — including through her physical public persona — “is about taking that power back, showing it off and not taking advantage with it.
“I’m not letting myself be owned anymore,” said the singer, who released a single, Your Power, from her upcoming album last week.
“People always say, ‘How would your younger self feel about you now?’ And that’s a good thing to think about in some cases,” Eilish said.
“But I also think you shouldn’t try to be a person that your old self would like, and you shouldn’t try to be a person that your future self is going to be. You should be exactly who you feel like you are and want to be in that moment.
“Otherwise, you’re going to go insane.”

Eilish also said that her voice has matured — with plenty of spare time to hone her craft during the pandemic.
“I’ve grown so much and gotten so much better in my voice — it’s crazy to think about,” she told Vogue. “I think change is one of the best gifts in the world.”
