Billie Eilish Is a Gilded-Age Aristocrat Gone Punk at the Met Gala

Billie Eilish's Met Gala look is a bit punk and a bit prim and proper.

The "bad guy" singer and former co-chair wore an on-theme look that mixed her punk influence with the night's Gilded Age theme. Her ornate Gucci gown, in a shade of off-white evoking her peach look from last year's Met, featured green lace sleeves, a corseted bodice, and old-school detailing including a small bustle in the back and a purple flower at the neckline.

She finished the look with a black choker dripping with diamonds, matching her spiky black updo with side-swept bangs.

Eilish's appearance comes a week after she capped off her headlining stint at Coachella this year, which included a special appearance by Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams. The singers joined forces for the rock band's 2007 hit "Misery Business" and Eilish's latest single "Happier Than Ever."

The "everything i wanted" singer made our best dressed list in her first ever appearance at the 2021 Met, where she evoked Old Hollywood in a peach Oscar de la Renta gown featuring a full skirt and train and a matching shoulder wrap. She finished the elegant look with Cartier jewels and Jimmy Choo platform shoes.

She even dished about her experience a month later during an appearance on the The Howard Stern Show.

"The main thing that night made me think or feel was how famous people are just literally nobodies. Just randos," she said. "And it's so weird. I mean, I was like, wow, all these people are just somebody that's in class with you, and you think this person's kind of annoying, or you really like this person, you get along with this person, and everybody's just, like, embarrassed and insecure about what they're doing and saying."

"It was amazing though. It just was beautiful in there," she added. "What's nice about other people that are in the same kind of world that you're in is they're not getting their phone out and shoving it in your face, because they don't want that themselves. And that is really relieving, because that's my problem with the world, is no matter what's going on or where you are, there's just people [who] shove that phone in your face."
