Billie Eilish [1] posted the ultimate '90s-grunge throwback outfit on Instagram [2], hoisting herself up onto the arms of her chair to show off her look in full. The 21-year-old musician, who's in the press for her recent split from singer-songwriter Jesse Rutherford [3], has always curated a wardrobe that can be considered a mixed bag, consisting of baggy cargos and sweat sets [4], romantic dresses and sneakers [5], and logo tights and platforms [6]. But no outfit is quite as reflective of her penchant for throwback styles as this one.
Hanging out in what appears to be an on-set closet, Eilish sported a cropped angel-graphic tee with black cap sleeves that came right to her belly-button ring. Eilish played up the hardware with a diamond choker necklace peeking out from her loose, dark waves that fell to her shoulders. She coordinated the top with low-slung denim woven with a rainbow-striped fabric belt reminiscent of the ones from the early aughts — all the better to draw attention to the top of her dragon tattoo [7], which climbs from her thigh to her hip and is said to symbolize power, wisdom, and strength. Makeup-wise, Eilish opted for a soft pink lip and smudgy liner under her eyes. Finally, a blue, orange, and black windbreaker hung over the chair behind her, likely making for the finishing touch to her look.
Eilish attended the 2023 Met Gala with her brother, Finneas [8], earlier this month, opting for a black lace "naked" dress by Simone Rocha [9] layered over an Agent Provocateur corset. She dressed up the ensemble with glittering barrettes and bows in her hair, explaining to Emma Chamberlain [10] in a video recorded for Vogue [11] that she was going for an abundance of mixed fabrics and wanted to appear "kind of thrown." Before that, Eilish's last red carpet appearance with Rutherford [12] was at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars party [13] on March 12, where she tapped into a similar aesthetic in a voluminous black Rick Owens dressed, accessorized with Chrome Hearts jewelry and also worn over an Agent Provocateur corset.
