Now, in an interview with Pharrell Williams for V Magazine’s 21st anniversary issue, Eilish has spoken out the positive responses she has received because of her decision to dress in baggy clothes, explaining how, even though people have praised her for “saying no to be seeing sexualised” and refusing to dress in a stereotypically “female” way, that’s not how she sees it.

“I wear baggy shit and I wear what I want… But of course, everyone sees it as, ‘She’s saying no to being sexualized,’ and, ‘She’s saying no to being the stereotypical female’,” she said. “It’s a weird thing because I know a lot of what I hear is a positive or people trying to be positive about how I dress; how I am never really out there wearing nothing, or wearing dresses. I’ve heard that.

Billie Eilish isn’t here for the “slut-shaming” undertones of that baggy clothes commentary
