Billie Eilish sparked a major conversation on social media after photos of her collaboration with jeweler John Hardy were released in October. The 24-year-old collaborated with the brand alongside her brother, Finneas, and showcased the collection in photos shared online.
In the shoot, she wore a singlet top with spaghetti straps that left many fans wondering if she had undergone a breast reduction.

"Heavy chest back pain is no joke; her health and comfort come first," one fan noted on X, while another added: "Maybe she did [get a reduction], maybe she just lost weight. What does it matter?...please find a hobby," and a third chimed in: "So what if she got a reduction? It's her body and her choice."
Billie Eilish's self-love journey

"I wasn't trying to have people not sexualize me. But I didn't want people to have access to my body, even visually," she told Variety of her decision to wear oversized clothing.

"I wasn't strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything."
"I have big boobs. I've had big boobs since I was nine years old, and that's just the way I am. That's how I look," she continued. "You wear something that's at all revealing, and everyone's like, 'Oh, but you didn't want people to sexualize you?'"
The "Bad Guy" singer has come a long way in her journey to self-love, and shared on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast that she was "far more solid in who I am".
"I feel different now, like I'm desirable," she said. "I feel like I'm capable of being as feminine as I want to be and as masculine as I want."
Billie Eilish's stance on plastic surgery

"I am so excited to age, and I'm so excited for my face to age and my body to age, and not change it. I want my kids to look at me and have my face look like their face and not be some botched version of whatever the [expletive] is going on out there right now."
© InstagramBillie hit back at body shamers in the past in her song "Not My Responsibility", explaining: "If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman. If I shed the layers, I'm a [expletive]. Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it and judge me for it."
"Why? We make assumptions about people based on their size. We decide who they are; we decide what they're worth," she continued. "If I wear more, if I wear less, who decides what that makes me? What that means? Is my value based only on your perception? Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?"
