🇬🇧 Billie Eilish’s change in appearance

This week, singer Billie Eilish shared on her Instagram profile photos she took for British Vogue. I saw some comments, both on the magazine's social networks and other channels, criticizing the girl for having changed the look and made a rehearsal with a very sensual image for the magazine.

Billie is 19 years old. When looking at the photos, I remembered a client I had a few years ago. I don't know Billie Eilish's work much, I've never seen a single interview with her, and I won't judge her self-image before or now. My point is to address this change by analysing its impact on fans and women with similar bodies.

My client was a young, married woman who wore huge clothes because she thought she was fat, when in reality she had full, natural breasts. Wearing baggy clothes tends to make the body look bigger. So, for those who have a problem with self-image, the result is to aggravate this problem. The client glared at me when I said we were going to slim down her wardrobe. But that's exactly what I did, without imposing. My only imposition was: wear first, complain later. With thirty years of experience, the chances of me making mistakes in the suggestions I give to clients are small. So, when trying on the clothes I suggested, the client realised that they were beautiful and did not complain. In the course of the process she also started to feel attractive.

But back to Billie Eilish, what problems do people who have criticised the Vogue photos have to feel uncomfortable with the sensual image of the photos? Perhaps these people do not see sensuality in themselves. Perhaps they identified with the singer's previous image, with the roots of her hair dyed green and immense clothes. Or both.

Some image consultants use labels to define styles. I don't like labels because, in my opinion, we may want to go out one day with maxi cardigans and combat boots, hiding the body, and on another day or occasion to wear clothes that enhance our appearance. We are not a label. But still, true style requires some points of consistency.

Striking changes in appearance can reflect profound inner changes. Apparently this is exactly the reason why Billie Eilish left her green hair aside and did a photoshoot that shocked so many people. She has changed. And in a time when people worship celebrities who have had dozens of plastic surgeries and aesthetic procedures, it is revolutionary to seek to value their own beauty only with clothes, makeup, good choices of cut and hair colour, good nutrition and simple care with their bodies and health.

Not changing is a sign that there is something very wrong with the person. Those looking for evolution and personal development also seek to change their appearance without resorting to cosmetic surgery. They seek to recognise their own beauty and improve it with acts of self-love such as eating better, dressing better, etc. And it takes work to reach that. But it is a rewarding work.

Billie Eilish, by showing the world this sensual side of her - did you notice the tattoo on the hip of the singer in the photos? - it also tells other women in naturally voluptuous bodies that they are attractive and sensual. She is young and her image and style can mature and change a lot. The accommodated fans must struggle to keep up with her.
