Global music sensation Billie Eilish was photographed enjoying a low-key day out in Los Angeles this week, showcasing her signature casual style while visiting her brother and collaborator, Finneas.
A Relaxed Outing in Los Feliz
On Thursday, the 24-year-old 'Ocean Eyes' singer was seen beaming as she left her car in the Los Feliz neighbourhood. She opted for a comfortable, sporty ensemble consisting of a baggy black hoodie and knee-length shorts. Billie completed the look with trainers, a cross-body bag, and a sleek ponytail, expertly balancing two coffee cups in her arm during the sibling visit.
This laid-back attire follows a different style she shared on her Instagram just last week. In that post, she posed in a black and white polka-dot top, accessorised with a pendant necklace, silver rings, and glasses perched on her head. The playful snap, captioned simply 'hey', featured the star holding up a chocolate chip cookie.
Contrasting Styles and Personal Reflections
The singer's holiday style presented a striking contrast to her everyday look. Last month, she posted an Instagram Story in a dramatically low-cut top, posing with a baby bottle in her mouth and pairing it with dark-wash jeans for a 'Happy holidays' message. This departure from her typical baggy, streetwear-focused wardrobe highlighted her evolving fashion choices.
Beyond style, Billie has been remarkably open about her personal struggles. In a past interview with British Vogue, the Grammy winner confessed to longstanding battles with body image. "I’ve never really felt very beautiful or seen myself in that way," she revealed, explaining she has had to actively "convince myself that I am beautiful." She added, "Being a woman is hard."
The Vegan Journey: From Body Image to Ethics
This conversation about self-perception directly linked to her dietary choices. When discussing her decision to become vegan, Eilish admitted her initial motivation was not ethical. "I was mainly because I hated my body and I thought I would lose weight," she stated frankly.
However, her perspective transformed as she educated herself. "But then I learnt all about the dairy industry and the completely horrific and disturbing animal agriculture that we all just pretend is normal and OK," she continued, highlighting how her veganism is now firmly rooted in ethical concerns.
Reflecting on her career since bursting onto the scene as a teenager, Billie also touched on the pressures of fame. She recalled confusion at being labelled a 'rebel' at 16, stating she was simply "doing what I thought was cool." As her profile grew, so did the scrutiny. "There really have been many periods of doubt and fear and feeling so much pressure," she shared, noting that maintaining self-trust is "still a process." Despite the challenges, the strong-willed artist concluded, "I think I’m doing pretty good."
