Read our privacy policy Billie Eilish has spoken candidly about the reactions from fans to her changing style, with the singer revealing that she lost thousands of social media followers “just because of the boobs”. The 19-year-old, who recently attended the 2021 Met Gala in a Oscar de la Renta ball gown, and who revealed that she used to wear dresses every day before body image struggles “tore that s*** down,” discussed her new aesthetic during an interview with Elle for the magazine’s October cover story. During the cover interview, the singer, who recently debuted a new blonde hairstyle after years of sporting a fluorescent green colour, also explained her decision to change her hair, revealing that she “wanted anonymity” but that she is still the same person. “The other day, I posted a video from when I had green hair, and I saw people go: ‘I miss this Billie, the green-haired Billie,’” Eilish said.
