Billie Eilish covers the June 2021 issue of British Vogue magazine, as photographed by Craig McDean, and styled by Dena Giannini in close collaboration with Eilish herself - who says about the shoot, "I love these pictures and I loved doing this shoot. Do whatever you want whenever you want. Fuck everything else."
On how being celebrated in opposition to other female popstars has hurt her: "Because of the way that I feel that the world sees me, I haven’t felt really desired. But that’s really my whole life, though, so I don’t know if it’s anything to do with fame."
On the TV trope of a 'classic hot girl' undergoing a personality transplant once entering a relationship: "She’s this completely different character of wifey. It really f**ked me up. Everybody’s like, ‘You can’t make a wife out of a hoe’ – and it’s like, you’re attracted to that person, though. You created that person. Suddenly you’re a hypocrite if you want to show your skin, and you’re easy and you’re a slut and you’re a whore. If I am, then I’m proud. Me and all the girls are hoes, and f**k it, y’know? Let’s turn it around and be empowered in that. Showing your body and showing your skin – or not – should not take any respect away from you."
