Back for another! Billie Eilish returned to the steps of the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 2 for the 2022 Met Gala in New York City.
Eilish, 20, wore a Gucci dress with a corset bodice and green lace sleeves in conjunction with this year’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” theme. By speaking with vogue, the Grammy winner revealed that her ensemble was made entirely from existing materials and excess fabric, to avoid creating waste when making the dress. “We try to be as environmentally friendly as possible,” she said. La La Anthony.
The California native, who turned heads on Monday, had already attended her first Met Gala last year as a coveted co-host.
“Eilish’s drive to embrace an aesthetic as innovative as her music has thrust emerging brands into the spotlight and challenged old rules of how a pop star should dress,” vogue said in their official host announcement at the time. In other words, she’s no stranger to keeping fans on their toes.
The “Bad Guy” singer – who co-hosted the September 2021 festivities alongside Timothée Chalamet, Amanda Gorman and Naomi Osaka – became the youngest individual ever to land the gig. On the carpet, Eilish showed a new side of her personality when she donned an Oscar de la Renta off-the-shoulder tulle gown with her hair in platinum blonde Marilyn Monroe-style curls.
While the Grammy winner looked like a natural red carpet in September, she described the experience as a whole “nut.”
“They’re famous people, famous people,” she joked during an appearance on the Howard Stern Show in December 2021. “That’s the way it is.”
The ‘Happier Than Ever’ musician added, “I was like, ‘Wow, all these people are just someone who’s in class with you,’ and you think this person is kinda boring, you really like this person, you get along with that person, and everyone is just embarrassed and unsure of what they’re doing and saying. It was still amazing [and] it was just beautiful in there.
Ahead of Eilish’s red carpet appearance to benefit the museum on Monday, she was one of the headliners at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.
“Oh look! An empty seat. Who’s that for? The performer – who won her first Oscar earlier this year – teased April 23 during her set. “Everyone, can we if he please welcome my friend Hayley Williams!”
Eilish and the Paramore singer, 33, performed a duet on Williams’ “Misery Business” number to the surprise of attendees.
“Oh my goddamn it”, the Simpsons: When Billie Met Lisa alum was gushing at the time. “Absolutely, what could be cooler than that?” I am very serious.”
The ‘Angel Eyes’ musician – who released Blur’s Damon Alban during her performance a week earlier – has since been impressed with her sets at the California Music Festival.
“I never could have imagined that this would be my life. Thank you @coachella,” she wrote via Instagram on April 25, sharing behind-the-scenes snaps from her night.
