Why Billie Eilish Hid Her Body in Baggy Clothes for Years – 3 Pics That Show Her Figure

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell was born on December 18, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. She is an American singer and songwriter who first gained attention with her debut single “Ocean Eyes” in 2015

Eilish, who has been vocal about her body image issues, quickly became a prominent figure in the music industry. Her debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” topped charts worldwide, solidifying her as a major talent.

For years, the singer has been recognized for her signature baggy clothing and chains, sparking much speculation and curiosity. However, a few images, including three that are featured here, reveal Eilish’s figure.

In 2017, the “Ocean Eyes” singer effortlessly pulled off a style that’s both relaxed and fashion-forward. She attended an event with an oversized fishnet shirt adding to the casual vibe.

Eilish matched the yellow shirt with roomy multicolored pants and black boots. The boots had mismatched laces, one colored yellow, and the other white, giving a carefully curated ambiance.

At another event, the singer stood out in a stylish yellow overall paired with a yellow puff jacket, layered over a white turtleneck. Her white sneakers contrast playfully with mismatched socks, one black and one white, showcasing a quirky personality.

In yet another look, Eilish wore a vibrant yellow overall paired with a navy blue puff jacket that revealed a yellow lining. Underneath, she wore a navy blue shirt. Her sneakers, featuring navy blue, white, and black, completed her stylish and confident look.

Despite her popularity and impeccable style, photos of Eilish are rare because she actively avoids the spotlight. She avoids dining out and no longer shops at Trader Joe’s, a place she once hoped to work. The singer picked these habits to protect herself from paparazzi.

Once, a paparazzo captured a rare photo of Eilish wearing a tight tank top and shorts, revealing her cleavage. The image quickly circulated online, with comments suggesting that she had developed a body resembling that of a mid-30s woman.

The photo, captured in the brief moment she moved from her car to her brother’s house, sparked a wide range of reactions. Some comments were supportive citing body positivity while other people shared their negative and harmful opinions.

“I think that the people around me were more worried about it than I was, because the reason I used to cut myself was because of my body. To be quite honest with you, I only started wearing baggy clothes because of my body,” shared Eilish.

Eilish felt relieved that the paparazzi incident occurred at a time when she had a healthier relationship with her body. Reflecting on her past struggles, she recalled how years back, she had a very negative body image.

There was a time she had danced excessively and barely eaten, even resorting to a diet pill at just 12 years old. This experience seemed surreal to her now, especially since she initially believed her body insecurities were hers alone to handle.

It was disheartening for her to discover that the internet also harbored negative opinions about her body. “The internet hates women,” she declared.

In 2020, Eilish created a short film where she gradually removes a black hoodie to reveal a bra before sinking into a pool of thick black liquid. In the accompanying voiceover, she questions whether people truly understand her, noting that they form opinions about her views, music, clothing, and body.

In a Calvin Klein ad for the campaign “I Speak My Truth In #MyCalvins,” Billie Eilish shared why she preferred wearing baggy clothes. She explained that she uses fashion as a shield to maintain her privacy.

“That’s why I wear baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath,” she noted. This move ensures that people can’t make judgments about the singer’s body, such as commenting on her shape or size, because they don’t have all the details.

“No one can say any of that because they don’t know,” she emphasized. Eilish’s fans supported her decision, expressing that it increased their admiration for her both as a person and as an artist.

However, some individuals argued that no person should be forced to conceal their body in order to avoid harassment or negative comments.

They believe that it is unfair for the “Happier Than Ever” crooner to feel pressured to alter her appearance to escape unwanted scrutiny and derogatory remarks.

More fans of Eilish shared their opinions on X in support of the singer. “When billie eilish said ‘I wear baggy clothes so ppl don’t have to know what’s underneath, they can’t judge’ i felt that,” one admirer wrote.

“I always figured that’s what it was because I used to hide under big clothes and blankets. 🙁 I love you @billieeilish,” said another fan who related to Eilish’s experience.

“I will ALWAYS stan Billie and this breaks my heart that she feels the need to dress like this just to avoid you miserable people who like to body shame for NO REASON,” noted an admirer who empathized with Eilish.

Another fan pointed out how unfair the situation was by saying, “The fact that Billie Eilish wears baggy clothes so she won’t get sexualized really says something about our society.”
