Billie Eilish Agreed to Wear This Met Gala Gown Under 1 Condition: Oscar de la Renta Stops Using Fur
Billie Eilish showed up for her cochair duties at the 2021 Met Gala in a peach, floor-sweeping Oscar de la Renta gown with a corseted bodice and tulle train. The off-the-shoulder design was complemented by Jimmy Choo shoes and 30 pieces of Cartier jewelry – the most anyone has ever worn on the red carpet, according to E!. Billie told Vogue it was just time for this kind of look, which was subtly inspired by the glamorous Holiday Barbie.
Billie reportedly used her influence and platform to ask the Oscar de la Renta team to stop using fur when she made the agreement to work with the American fashion house for the special event. While her hairstyle might have given off Marilyn Monroe vibes, her beauty was undeniably Billie, and everything about her demeanor on the Met steps spoke to the personality her fans continue to love and cheer for.
