Billie Eilish Put a Cool Twist on an Oversized Blazer and Skirt at the 2024 Golden Globes
Billie Eilish forewent Barbiecore at the 2024 Golden Globes and put a fun twist on workwear instead. She wore a Peter Pan collar top with a tie, oversized blazer, and a skirt by Willy Chavarria. Her hair was styled up in a bun with her red streaks prominent. She accessorized with Anita Ko jewelry.
The singer’s Barbie track “What Was I Made For?”, which she wrote with brother Finneas, is nominated for Best Original Song, Motion Picture. Eilish and Finneas already won an award for the song at the Palm Springs Film Awards on Thursday.
Eilish spoke in her acceptance speech about how she wrote the song during a dark period in her life and hoped it would help others navigate their own. “Any recognition that this song gets I just want to dedicate to anyone who experiences hopelessness and the feeling of existential dread and feeling like, ‘What’s the point and why am I here and what am I doing this for?’” she said, via Entertainment Weekly. “I think we all feel like that occasionally. If somebody like me with the amount of privilege that I have and the incredible things I get to do and be, and how I have really not wanted to be here—sorry, it’s kinda dark, damn—but I’ve spent a lot of time feeling that way, and I just want to say to anyone that feels that way, be patient with yourself and know that it is, I think, worth it all, and I think that it’s good to be alive now.
“I didn’t feel like that for a very long time, and, especially when we were asked to write this song, I was in a dark episode, I guess, and things didn’t make sense,” she continued. “Life, I just didn’t understand what the point was, and why we keep going. [I was] questioning everything in the world, and, honestly, going to see the movie and being shown the small amount we were shown… I was just watching Barbie, like, say and feel things that I really resonated with and felt. I felt so seen, and I did not expect that, and I think this movie is the most incredible, most empowering, beautiful, funny, and unbelievable piece of art in the world, and I’m so honored to be a part of it.”
