If there's anyone you can count on to come up with an unconventional outfit pairing, it's Billie Eilish [3]. The "What Was I Made For? [4]" singer has mastered the art of dressing strictly for herself, regardless of public opinion, and her latest look is no exception. On 4 September, she took to Instagram [5] with another one of her signature photo dumps in her edgiest ensemble to date. As she posed slightly bent over in front of a plain studio backdrop, Eilish wore a white mesh top with a frayed hem, black fishnet tights layered under micro camouflage briefs, black-and-white knee pads, sporty socks, and platform-heeled trainers. Throughout the dump, she continued to show off her love for all things nostalgic, from vintage Nike jerseys and red-and-black '90s frames to oversize men's shirts and ties.
While some of these nostalgic trends have recently resurfaced in the fashion world, the 21-year-old has embraced them for most of her career. As an undeniable queen of Y2K fashion [6], she recently wore an oversize jersey and completely sheer biker shorts [7] layered over her go-to fishnet tights while performing at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, last month. Eilish wore a similarly layered combo that featured a "Miss Sexy" baby tee and tiny camouflage shorts [8] while showing off her dragon tattoo [9]. She also nailed the polarising aesthetic on other occasions, choosing an oversize pinstripe shirt and baggy trousers for the star-packed "Barbie" premiere [10] and a vintage Spice Girls shirt, leggings, and Moon Boots for a gym day in Los Angeles.
As '90s-grunge as her boundary-pushing style veers, Eilish is not afraid to tap into other decades. For her contribution to the "Barbie" movie soundtrack [12], she transformed into a '50s doll while wearing a modest yellow shirtdress [13] and Mary Jane heels to match. She also channelled the "soft girl" trend with a ruched dress by Yuhan Wang [14] for a quiet Easter celebration with then-boyfriend Jesse Rutherford [15].
