Billie Eilish Opened Up About Why She Wears Baggy Clothes - "Nobody Can Have an Opinion"

If you're a woman in today's world, chances are you know exactly what it's like to have others determine your worth based on your body image, and it sucks. It's a universal experience. As someone who's struggled with my perception of my own body, I know that hearing others' opinions of your body can be a real mind game, even more so if you're frequently in the public eye. Billie Eilish seems to know it, too. In a recent Calvin Klein ad, the 17-year-old singer revealed that her baggy clothes and unique style are a deliberate choice to avoid being sexualized. "I never want the world to know everything about me," Billie said.

"That's why I wear big, baggy clothes," Billie added. "Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what's underneath. Nobody can be like, 'She's slim-thick,' 'She's not slim-thick,' 'She's got a flat ass,' 'She's got a fat ass.' No one can say any of that because they don't know." Billie's decision to dress in oversize clothing seems like an effective way to avoid the criticism of her body image overshadowing her actual musical talent. In several ways, however, her decision to dress in baggy clothes doesn't feel like much of a decision at all when the alternative is to have her body scrutinized by the public.

While it's heartbreaking to know that such a young artist feels the need to hide her body completely to avoid being judged, Billie's admission in the "I Speak My Truth In #MyCalvins" ad has sparked overwhelming discussion and support among her fans. "When Billie Eilish said, 'I wear baggy clothes so people don't have to know what's underneath, they can't judge,' I felt that," wrote one fan on Twitter.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
