Although she is a household name with millions of fans, we have all seen the effect fame and fortune can have on young stars.
Billie has been able to do what very few celebrities her age have been able to do, which is maintaining a seemingly laidback and chilled lifestyle. She is not a wild child, she's keeping very much to herself and she's focusing on using her music to make headlines instead of her behaviour.

One thing that is very notable about Billie has been her iconic fashion style which included baggy, oversized clothes such as t-shirts, jackets, etc.
She previously said that she chooses to style herself this way because of body shaming, the hate comments she's received, and she prefers that people focus on her work as an artist rather than what she looked like.
The less she showed, the less the media and other people had to comment on.

However, she still has had to deal with her fair share of body-shaming trolls but she has never been afraid of giving them a piece of her mind.
Now with her latest British Vogue cover shoot, she is not only turning heads but she is once again sticking it to the haters!

While for many of her fans these pictures came as quite a shock, she goes on to explain her new look in the interview.
Billie was hailed as a body-positive icon because of her baggier style and this sometimes even led to her being called the 'good example' compared to artists, celebs and stars who chose to wore less.
If you’re about body positivity, why would you wear a corset? Why wouldn’t you show your actual body? My thing is that I can do whatever I want. It’s all about what makes you feel good. If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. If you want to wear a dress that somebody thinks that you look too big wearing, f**k it – if you feel like you look good, you look good.- Billie Eilish

Billie did anticipate some level of backlash for her Vogue shoot but there has been only an overwhelmingly positive response.
Some people are fangirling hard, others are showing their support and many have also mentioned that this interview and shoot has not only been a turning point for Billie but that it has even affected them on a personal level:
billie's been super vulnerable and honest recently with the doc, your power, and now this vogue photoshoot. like she's really putting it all out there and i think that's very meaningful and important and i know it's helped, and will help, so many people including myself
