Showing your body and showing your skin – or not – should not take any respect away from you.” Me and all the girls are hoes, and f**k it, y’know? Let’s turn it around and be empowered in that. “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. You created that person.” If those are the terms, Eilish is out. Everybody’s like, ‘You can’t make a wife out of a hoe’ – and it’s like, you’re attracted to that person, though. “She’s this completely different character of wifey,” Eilish says, baffled.

“But that’s really my whole life, though, so I don’t know if it’s anything to do with fame.” She’s noticed a TV trope where as soon as a “classic hot girl” enters a relationship, she undergoes a personality transplant. “Because of the way that I feel that the world sees me, I haven’t felt really desired,” she says, then sighs. It also hurt Eilish, negotiating her own dawning womanhood. The celebration of her in opposition to more scantily dressed pop girls concealed a nasty, misogynist (sometimes racist) subtext. 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.” If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. She clears it up: “It’s all about what makes you feel good. “My thing is that I can do whatever I want.” Confidence is her only gospel, she says, yet that intent has been spun into “a lot of weird miscommunications”.
She is extremely meticulous in the way she reinvents herself.” Eilish predicts one side of the response to the shoot: “‘If you’re about body positivity, why would you wear a corset? Why wouldn’t you show your actual body?’” She raises her eyebrows. Michele says that the visual references Eilish sent for the shoot chimed with the ideas that he had been working on for his own collections, “referencing Hollywood, a world that fascinates me a lot. “If you feel like you look good, you look good,” says Billie, seen wearing a custom Alexander McQueen corset dress and sandals with latex stockings and gloves by Atsuko Kudo. “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.” “Jesus Christ?! Good for me? F**k off!” She splutters with frustration.
“It made me really offended when people were like, ‘Good for her for feeling comfortable in her bigger skin,’” she says, curling her lips in mockery. In October, a paparazzi picture of her in a form-fitting vest sparked a media cycle rife with negativity and misjudged sympathy. She never claimed to stand for any of it. That’s why working with her is so stimulating – she forces me to think differently.” More simplistic interpretations of Eilish’s aesthetic saw her hailed as an icon of body positivity and a good example compared with female pop stars who wore less. Billie is exactly where she means to be without prejudice. “She is a continuously evolving artist with a new vision and interpretation of herself in terms of femininity. “Billie represents something completely new,” says Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, who has regularly collaborated with Eilish. More lastingly, her mysterious, broken sound rewired pop. Her debut is Spotify’s eighth most-streamed album ever. Eilish’s career is a parade of achievements, mostly concerning her age: she’s the youngest winner of the Grammy for Album of the Year (an accolade formerly held by Taylor Swift) and to helm a Bond theme (“No Time To Die”, written for Daniel Craig’s final 007 gig), and is the first artist born in the 21st century to have an American number one. She and Finneas recorded her debut album there, 2019’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, without label interference.
The colourful family bungalow in north-east LA, where they were homeschooled by their parents, working actors Maggie May Baird and Patrick O’Connell, turned into an anchor and a hive of “good people” as this gothy teenager became an era-redefining pop star. We’ve watched her get here, ever since her viral breakout at 13 with the delicate synth-pop song “Ocean Eyes”, recorded with her older brother, Finneas O’Connell, in their bedrooms.
