Hitmaker Billie Eilish is opening up about her signature baggy clothes style, which has been both celebrated and critiqued by fans in her ascent to superstardom.

In a new cover story for Vanity Fair which she conducted ahead of the release of the Apple TV Plus documentary about her life, "The World's a Little Blurry," Eilish said she approached the now-viral moment rather calmy.

"I think that the people around me were more worried about it than I was, because the reason I used to cut myself was because of my body.

To be quite honest with you, I only started wearing baggy clothes because of my body," Eilish said.

Eilish said the trending photos actually resulted in her being proud of herself for how far she's come today in terms of her dealing with body insecurities.

"I was really, really glad though, mainly, that I’m in this place in my life, because if that had happened three years ago, when I was in the midst of my horrible body relationship—or dancing a ton, five years ago, I wasn’t really eating," she said.

The platinum-selling artist has previously addressed body confidence issues and explained why she wears oversized clothes on red carpets and during performances. .

Billie Eilish has defended her decision to wear baggy clothes in public and during onstage appearances.

"I think because of the way that my personality is—I’m a very strong-willed person, and I think at the time I was very alpha—I’m coming to realize that I may have felt a feeling of superiority," she said
