Teen music sensation Billie Eilish, who has been vocal about how her fame and body image struggles have influenced the way she dresses, is taking a sharp turn from the clothing you’re used to seeing her in. She wants to make it clear that no matter what she’s wearing, she deserves respect. Speaking to British Vogue in an interview published Sunday, Eilish,19, opened up about facing a deluge of comments on her looks as an underage teenager and why she has now decided to ditch her signature baggy clothes. “It made me really offended when people were like, ‘Good for her for feeling comfortable in her bigger skin,’ ” Eilish said. “Jesus Christ?! Good for me?… The more the internet and the world care about somebody that’s doing something they’re not used to, they put it on such a high pedestal that then it’s even worse.” Eilish was previously known for sporting clothes that hid her form – a fashion choice she said was intended to prevent others from body shaming her.
