Until a few years ago, the American singer-songwriter preferred wearing baggy clothes that often covered her body entirely. Lately, she has become more comfortable with her physical figure and embraced more feminine looks.
However, Billie Eilish admitted that she never really felt like a woman in terms of feeling desirable or feminine. While she does identify with the pronouns ‘she/her’, the singer confessed that she has often felt physically attracted towards other women.
Other revelations from recent interview
Apart from her revelations about her physical attraction towards women, Billie Eilish also opened up about her struggles with relating to other women. She feels that she’s not liked by them and that her sexuality and dating history has often come under scrutiny.
