Billie Eilish Gets Ready for the Met Gala | Vogue

everybody thank you hi Folk Hungary [Music] I mean this look is now I'm introducing the video okay welcome to the Met so this is my third time go into the met and I I always have a really really nice time so I'm I've been looking forward to it for a while there's nothing like the met this is Emily she's doing to my face this is Benjamin doing to my hair we are gluing in long long long long long long bits of hat because essentially the whole thing is going to come down into a ponytail that we're

going to braid but all these for the last two hours then Emily you want to talk about the makeup you always have such a good idea of what you like and between me you and Dina we had like really nice references the focal point on the eyes yeah so there are lots of lots of photos of eyes I've been just saving pictures of like dresses that I've found beautiful for the last however many months I was really interested in lots of layers that was the main thing I knew I wanted something white sorry I k

new I wanted something black and I wanted it to be um just lots of different layers lots of different textures we had an amazing collaboration with Simone Rocha and she has created us a really Exquisite look all pre-existing Fabrics that she has used over the years and that exist in her Atelier the dress has a lot of ribbon and Beads and again different layers of stuff and so I really wanted to incorporate that in the hair I kind of wanted to blur the line between the dress and the hair I just r

eally like that idea of not knowing really where the hair starts and yes and I've always been a little more masculine than feminine and yeah I had this like one moment when I was like 17 where I was like I want to pretend to be a girl for a second one of the first times I wore a dress to an event it was really scary I just had to like convince myself that I'm allowed to be masculine and also be feminine when I want to [Music] we're done sort of and we're gonna throw on the dress well I was reall

y honored to collaborate on the look with Billy but I wanted to kind of repurpose lace through all my different Collections and almost make them into tapestry and look at something that was very fragile and to chill and then use all the embellishment almost like an armor and like a harness on top foreign [Music] as usual my final touch eyelash number two and we're off [Music] Lego get ready [Music]
