After testing a bleached countenance last year, the American singer-songwriter ascribed during her interview with Highsnobiety that “people completely changed their demeanour” when she was blonde. “I feel sexier when I dress masculinely. I didn’t feel sexy for one second of being blonde,” She clarified. “When I was blonde, people treated me differently.”
Billie further talked about what instigated the change in her aesthetic after she developed a signature countenance that comprised inky clothes, sometimes multicoloured hair, and a macho style. “People saw me as this 15-year-old, a kid, who wore this kind of stuff, looked this kind of way, acted this kind of way, said this kind of way. I felt like I couldn’t change. That’s why I went so far to the other side. I was trying to prove, ‘Hey, f— you guys, I can do whatever I want,” She expressed.
“Now I can look masculine if I want, and feminine if I want, and it’s not gonna be a f—ing headline,” she remarked further. “It’s not that you wear one thing, and that’s your new style — you f—ing keep wearing a bunch of s—.” Billie was first seen in her blonde locks last March on social media. “Did you guess correctly?” she penned on Instagram after contesting her fans to speculate what her next hair colour is going to be.
By December, Billie went dusky again while she teased her brunette bangs on her Insta Story, penning, “Guess what.” Eilish continued it with the entire ‘do, captioning the post: “Miss me?”
