Billie Eilish has recently made shocking confession about her body image struggles in early childhood.
In a new interview with Complex, the Lovely singer said, “What’s really interesting is that when I was a little girl, I loved big dresses.”
“All I wore was fairy dresses and skirts. I never wore pants or shorts when I was a little kid,” remarked the 22-year-old.
However, Billie recalled, “When I was 11, I got obsessed with this brand called Brandy Melville. And they only sold clothes in one size.”
“I was chubbier and I was obsessed with these clothes, but I’d buy a shirt and it wouldn’t fit me,” mentioned the Ocean Eyes crooner.
Billie pointed out that she “wasn’t slim,” and she “was in ballet,” and this is when her “body problems” started.
“I didn’t want my body to be part of my outfit,” she continued.
Billie stated, “I wanted my outfit to be my outfit, and my body happens to be inside it.”
In recent times, the singer revealed that she released her 2021 album Happier Than Ever to clap back at critics’ claims that she “doesn’t look like a girl”.
“So of course, classic me, I had to go with the completely extreme version of it,” noted the Grammy winner.
Billie explained, “I couldn’t just, like, wear a skirt once. I had to completely reverse everything and be this girly girl for a second and have these pink nails, blonde hair, skirts, dresses.”
“I was like, ‘I can do whatever I want. And then I can go back to what I was doing before, and you guys can eat it,’” added the songstress.
