Billie Eilish feels her 'blonde hair doesn't make her sexy'

Being a blonde did not make Billie Eilish more fun.

The Grammy Award winner, 20, revealed in a recent interview with Highsnobiety that "people completely changed their demeanour" around her when she was blonde. This comes after she experimented with a bleached look last year.

"I feel sexier when I dress masculine. I didn't feel sexy for one second of being blonde," Eilish explained. "When I was blonde, people treated me differently."

She also discussed the reasons behind the change in her aesthetic after establishing a distinctive appearance that included darker clothing, occasionally colourful hair, and a masculine manner.

"People saw me as this 15-year-old, a kid, who wore this kind of stuff, looked this kind of way, acted this kind of way, said this kind of way. I felt like I couldn't change. That's why I went so far to the other side. I was trying to prove, 'Hey, f— you guys, I can do whatever I want,' " Eilish said.

"Now I can look really masculine if I want, and really feminine if I want, and it's not gonna be a f—ing headline," she resumed.

"It's not that you wear one thing, and that's your new style — you f—ing keep wearing a bunch of s—."

Eilish debuted her blonde hair on social media in March of last year. She asked her followers to predict what her next hair colour would be on Instagram at the time, asking, "Did you guess correctly?"
