At this point, it’s fair to say Billie Eilish has taken the world by storm. It was only about six years ago that she was stunning us all with great songs like “Ocean Eyes.” Fast-forward a few years and she now has seven Grammy awards and many other major accolades.
Of course, all this attention on her music has led to added scrutiny about her life. The 20-year-old singer has had to deal with a lot of online hate, especially centered around her body. But this doesn’t keep her from living her best life on vacations and celebrating body positivity with a series of swimsuit photos.
Where did Billie Eilish go on vacation? How are these swimsuit photos her victory over her haters, and how did she become a body positivity icon? Keep reading to find out!
The real reason Billie Eilish wears baggy clothing
One of the reasons that Billie Eilish in a bikini turns heads is simple: a bikini is pretty much the polar opposite of the clothing she normally wears. Both onstage and in her daily life, Eilish is mostly known for sporting very baggy clothing. And the reason why she does so is fairly sad.
As Teen Vogue reports, the singer opened up about her clothing in a Calvin Klein ad of all places. In the ad, she describes how the baggy clothing helps protect her. “That’s why I wear baggy clothes,” she says. “Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she’s got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know.”
Being an international superstar musician likely made Eilish more conscious of her own body. However, she has been struggling to love her body since long before she was famous.
