As a blonde, Billie Eilish did not enjoy herself anymore. The Grammy Award-winning 20-year-old explained in a recent interview with Highsnobiety that when she went blonde, “people completely changed their demeanor” around her.
“I feel sexier when I dress masculinely. I didn’t feel sexy for one second of being blonde,” Eilish explained. “When I was blonde, people treated me differently.”
She also discussed the reasons behind the change in her aesthetic after establishing a distinctive appearance that included darker clothing, occasionally colorful hair, and a masculine style.
“People saw me as this 15-year-old, a kid, who wore this kind of stuff, looked this kind of way, acted this kind of way, and said this kind of way. I felt like I couldn’t change. That’s why I went so far to the other side. I was trying to prove, ‘Hey, f— you guys, I can do whatever I want,’ ” Eilish said.
“Now I can look really masculine if I want, and really feminine if I want, and it’s not gonna be a f—ing headline,” she continued. “It’s not that you wear one thing, and that’s your new style — you f—ing keep wearing a bunch of s—.”
Eilish debuted her blonde hair on social media in March of last year. She asked her followers to predict what her next hair color would be on Instagram at the time, asking, “Did you guess correctly? ”
The “Bad Guy” singer celebrated her new hairstyle with a pin-up-style cover shoot for British Vogue and new album artwork for Happier than Ever.
In December, Eilish resumed her silence while teasing her brown bangs on her Instagram Story with the caption “Guess what.” She posted a photo of herself with a full do and the comment, “Miss me?”
