After lingerie shoot: Billie Eilish counters sexist headline

The style change was extremely well received by many, in fact the post with cover motif on Instagram even received a million likes in just six minutes.
Sometimes, however, there was also negative feedback and sexist comments that accused Billie of a lack of authenticity. The "Daily Mail", for example, commented on the pictures with a questionable headline, to which the "Bad Guy" interpreter now indirectly took a stand.
Billie Eilish fights back
The British newspaper headlined Billie Eilish: "Proof money can change your values and you sell yourself: Billie Eilish shocks her fans by swapping her baggy clothes for underwear in Vogue - despite vowing for years to 'hide her body'".
The 19-year-old then received support from the influencer Emily Clarkson, who took a closer look at the "Daily Mail" and broke up the article with a long post. She also "corrected" the headline as follows:
"Proof that women can change their minds and regain control of their bodies."The author also pointed out that Billie Eilish was actually still a child in recent years and therefore did not want to be sexualized. The singer then personally confirmed this statement by sharing Emily Clarkson's detailed post on her Instagram story shortly afterwards.
The sad irony in all this: In the "Vogue" interview, Billie Eilish talked about body shaming, among other things, and urged readers not to give too much attention to the opinions of others if you feel comfortable in your own skin. Afterwards, the star himself received criticism for the revealing recordings, which were sometimes very unobjective. The "Daily Mail" headline serves as a graphic example.
In her comment, Emily Clarkson makes it clear that Billie Eilish wore baggy clothing for years "because she had to" to avoid being reduced to appearances. Nevertheless, the singer was ruthlessly pursued by paparazzi, who published pictures of Billie's body without her consent. Ultimately, this makes society a "perverted, fucked-up place".
