Billie Eilish Says Her Met Gala Beauty Look Is Inspired by Holiday Barbie, but We See Marilyn Monroe Too

The Super Bowl of beauty is here — the 2021 Met Gala has officially kicked off, and it's stacking up to be everything we were hoping for and more. Especially now that Billie Eilish [1] has arrived. The Happier Than Ever singer arrived in a larger-than-life blush ballgown [2] with her newly chopped bob haircut [3] and old Hollywood glam-inspired makeup that screamed Marylin Monroe to us but, apparently, her inspiration came from somewhere else.

During a quick red carpet with host Keke Palmer, Eilish disclosed the inspiration for her stunning look: holiday Barbie. "It was my favourite thing in the world," said Eilish. "I would ask for them for Christmas like every single year. . . Honestly, like, genuinely, that was my inspiration."

Monroe or holiday Barbie — Eilish looks amazing either way. As much as we loved her neon green hair, the new platinum blond bob is making it a bit easier to say goodbye.
