BILLIE EILISH Unisex Kid's Classic Costumes

Product Information

I just made a magnificent breakfast,” Eilish tells me as she props her phone against a mirror in the little blue bathroom. This, too, seems normal. Eilish has few if any pretenses. Her hands smell like garlic and onions, she says. “I have to wash them now.” She makes a show of it, finishing with a little ta-da! move, as though she should be wearing a top hat. I half expect her to start singing. Alas, she does not. You are now 19, and you've been in the public eye for a while. Tell me about the song " OverHeated ." She debuted the new look on a British Vogue cover that showed her dressed as an Old Hollywood pinup, but assured everyone that she hasn’t lost her capacity for taking risks. “It’s not a new style, it’s one thing I wore,” she tells V.F., “and then I’m going to wear this another day.” Her new motto is “Anything goes. Period.”—but she pointed out that the underlying motivations aren’t too far from her old look. “Literally the thing that I’ve been preaching about since I first started is to wear what you want. Dress how you want. Act how you want. Talk how you want. Be how you want. It’s all I’ve ever said.” It's like the main place that I should go. The first fan account I ever had was Billie Eilish Brazil. For real.

Ever since 2017, Billie Eilish has taken one day each year to sit down with Vanity Fair for a Time Capsule interview, where she talks about her career, her personality, and the changes she has seen over the previous 12 months. When she arrived on set on October 18, 2021, one transformation was obvious. Earlier this year, the 19-year-old pop star swapped out her signature multihued neon hairstyles for a stark platinum blonde. Now that she can perform again, she understands why. “I was really just falling apart not being able to do shows because they are the thing that makes me feel like the best that I am,” she says. “I can be in a bad mood before a show and then come offstage and I’m completely rejuvenated.” For this one, I wanted the theme of old Hollywood and beautiful and classy. It's just funny that people see new photo shoots and immediately think that you're a different person. I see people call me Blonde Billie — like, "Blonde Billie said this, but Green Billie didn't say this." And I'm like, what the hell? I'm not a category of a person. I'm the same person, for my whole life. I like this thing this time, and I like this thing that time.Yeah, for sure. And that goes for so many different things. It goes for all women who wear what they want and a man says, "Oh, don't expect me to not harass you if you're wearing that." It's like, no — that's your responsibility to not harass me. It's nobody's responsibility to cover themself or restrict or restrain themself for somebody else's, like, weak willpower. It's not our job. The fundamental theme of Billie’s story,” says Cutler, is “empathy, connection.” When Eilish finally watched a cut of the documentary, she had a hard time getting through it. “It’s really about my life, me, in such a way that I was not expecting, and was pretty brutal to relive.” But that experience has been ultimately rewarding—and it gave her something equally unexpected. “I was going through hell in certain parts of my life, and I had no idea anyone was seeing it,” she says. “The fact that they have footage of it and you can see my emotions…. It’s like, I can’t help but think about the last episode of The Office when Erin was like,” she paraphrases, “How did you do it? How did you really get how we felt and what we were doing? How did you do it? I used to watch that episode and be like, That would be amazing if somebody did that and you could rewatch those parts of your life from a different perspective. And I did it!”

We should say, there are also happy songs here — about love, the good part of connecting, the sort of empowering part of being with someone. I want to actually go to Billie Bossa Nova because I used to live in Brazil, so I was real happy to hear this. Have you been to Brazil? There's a lot about womanhood in this album and exactly what you're talking about, the ways in which it can be twisted, the ways it can be taken advantage of. When the song " Your Power " was released, I sent it to a bunch of my female friends and relatives, because I think it speaks to something that a lot of girls and women have dealt with. When did you start to realize that every girl, every woman, has a story where they were sort of taken advantage of? I honestly don't know. I think that there's not much you can do. ... It's like, if you're at the dentist getting your wisdom teeth done, and they give you anesthesia and then you say to yourself, 'I'm not going to fall asleep, I'm not going to fall asleep,' you can't not fall asleep. ... I think that you just have to keep going and not not be scared of living, I guess. And I wish I would take my own advice in that realm of just like, it doesn't matter. You can change, and you can change your mind, which I think the internet forgets. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. It often indicates a user profile.As one of my ELLE.com colleagues once remarked, every teenager these days either dresses like YouTuber Emma Chamberlain or Bille Eilish. The androgynous outfits paired with feminine accessories have become a staple for the singer. Hell, I want to dress like Eilish this Halloween. Here, one way to approach the look. You should wear this costume if...
