Billie Eilish's Natural Blond Hair Color Is Far From Her Typical Look

Billie Eilish is unlike other celebrities, which is why fans adore her so much. Between her oversized fashion ensembles, stiletto nails, and unnervingly angelic voice, Eilish is a unique entertainer that we like to follow. But one of the most common questions about her involves her natural hair color. Turns out, it's not neon green or jet-black with red roots (though she looks great in those different styles).

Fun facts about Eilish are aplenty on the internet (did you know dance was her first true passion before she suffered a severe injury?), but details about her real hair color are not as wildly shared. Even so, we found it — and it's a look we've seen her in before. Eilish's natural hair color is light blond. She returned to the look in 2021, shocking fans when she debuted a platinum hue on Instagram. However, she quickly went back to a bolder color shortly after. "I feel sexier when I dress masculine. I didn't feel sexy for one second of being blonde," she told High Snobiety in an interview. "When I was blonde, people treated me differently. People completely changed their demeanor [around me]."

Unless you're prepared to go down a dark hole of old YouTube videos of Eilish from back in the day, you have the singer's mom, Maggie, to thank for this throwback photo of her daughter. Turns out, Eilish's natural hair color is blond, which explains exactly how she's now able to transform her color into a spectrum of shades so easily (no in-salon lifting required).

Thanks to a surprise remix to her hit record "Bad Guy" — featuring Justin Bieber, duh — fans got a glimpse of what Eilish looked like when she was a fangirling tween. If you can pull your attention away from the impressive collection of Bieber posters, you'll notice that Eilish's hair is a cool shade of golden blond — presumably her natural color.
