Billie Eilish’s style and diet
Billie Eilish Pirate Bars O’Connell, known professionally as Billie Eilish,
is an American singer and songwriter. She was born in California; she
began singing at a young age. But Billie isn’t your common pop star.
Everything about this girl is unique, from her voice and lyrics to her
5 young genius ability, her smart choice of diet and her different taste in
fashion.

When asked about her daily wardrobe, Billie says: “I dress like I’m on
stage all the time. I mix cheap items of clothes with designer clothes.
I always dress really insane with a lot of different loud colours. I always
10
try to be creative with what I’m wearing. I’ll wear trousers on my arms,
or I’ll wear a different shoe on each foot. And I’ll wear lots of necklaces
and rings, too.” Her style is full of baggy clothes, logos and track suits, and people love it. But she’s
not just doing it to look cool. Billie said that the reason she wears oversized clothes is because she
doesn’t want people to comment on what her body looks like. She wants to be judged on the sound
15
of her voice. “That’s why I wear baggy clothes,” she said. “Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim’, ‘she’s not
slim’, ‘she’s fat’. No one can say any of that because they just don’t know. Some people say that I do
it because I want to be recognised. But it’s not that, I’m just walking around dressed like I’ve always
wanted.”

20 At the age of thirteen, Billie changed to a vegan diet and the main reason she went vegan was to
reduce her impact on the environment and be kinder to animals. She admitted in the interview that,
when she is too stressed from being on the road, she likes to have her favourite dessert: peanut-
butter chocolate chip cookies.
