BILLIE EILISH DRESSES LIKE A PIN-UP ON THE COVER OF BRITISH VOGUE – (05/03/2021)

Billlie Eilish appears in the June issue of British Vogue dressed like a “classic, old-timey pin-up” and she’s already prepared to deal with the backlash. 

The 19-year-old star graces the cover of the magazine in in a pink custom Gucci corset and skirt over lacy Agent Provocateur lingerie, accessorized with elbow-length latex gloves.

The singer predicted the response to the shoot in her interview with the outlet, saying, “‘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.”

She continued, “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.”

Elsewhere in the magazine, Eilish can be seen in a variety of revealing bodysuits – even one that shows off the hip tattoo she previously told Vanity Fair that fans “won’t ever see.”
