Billie Eilish opens up about her love life, of sorts, in a new interview with High Snobity. The typically private singer recently confirmed in a vanity lounge interview that she is dating The Neighborhood singer Jesse Rutherford and is “really excited…really happy about it”, noting that she is now snuggling up with a man she considers the “fuckin’ hottest in the world”.
Talk to Snobbery, Eilish, 20, was a little more circumspect about her love life, avoiding mentioning her 31-year-old partner while speaking in more general terms about the dizzying concept of love. “Falling in love is hard for me,” she said. “It’s a scary thing, my love. It’s really scary.
For the most part, the piece focuses on Eilish’s fashion evolution over her past 7 years in the public eye, with the singer best known for her baggy, unisex looks noting that “when I meet people who don’t care about clothes – what they wear and how they wear it – that’s beyond me.In recent years, Oscar-winning actress Eilish has started to delve into high fashion – turning heads at the 2022 Met Gala this year with her upcycled Gucci dress — though she definitely has conflicting feelings about how much importance some in the industry place on outward appearance.
“There’s a performative nature to fashion week that really pisses me off, because I’m like, ‘Please be careful with the clothes,'” she said, noting that fashion is a “driving force” for her, as well as a way to connect with people. “People saw me as this 15-year-old, kid, who wore this kind of stuff, had this kind of look, acted this kind of way, said this kind of way. I felt like I couldn’t change. That’s why I went so far to the other side,” she said of her first look. “I was trying to prove, ‘Hey, fuck you, I can do whatever I want.’ Now I can look really masculine if I want to, and really feminine if I want to, and it won’t make the headlines.
This whole test of different clothing attitudes was a fun game, but that was all it was for Eilish, duh. “It’s not that you wear one thing, and it’s your new style — you keep wearing a bunch of bullshit,” she said. For the record, the currently raven-haired Eilish said she felt sexier when she dressed as a man, although her side going blonde last year didn’t turn out the way she expected.
“When I was blonde, people treated me differently. People completely changed their behavior [around me],” she said. With a new fragrance, Eilish No. 2, the singer said she feels she’s earned the trust of the public and can expand her empire to include more non-music businesses. “I think people took me more seriously because I had this more masculine attitude. [way of dressing] throughout my career,” she said. “If I had been more feminine and girly, people would have been much less respectful of me.”
