Billie Eilish arrives at the London premiere of her concert movie Hit Me Hard And Soft in a Celine suit and tie after revealing the ‘gender euphoria’ she feels when wearing men’s clothes

Billie Eilish appeared happy and relaxed at the London premiere of her concert film, Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour Live in 3D, which took place in Leicester Square on Tuesday.

I was so excited to see her arrive at the event! She looked incredible in a full Celine suit – a classic black jacket and trousers, paired with a lovely blue shirt and a cool striped tie. She always has such amazing style!

Billie finished her outfit with black sneakers and let her brown hair flow freely down her shoulders.

The hitmaker posed on the blue carpet with filmmaker James Cameron who produced the concert film. 

The director of Avatar looked stylish in a black outfit when he arrived at the screening and embraced Billie.

Clara Amfo, one of the event’s presenters, stood out in a striking purple mini dress with long sleeves and a pleated skirt.

Lottie Moss and her boyfriend, Themy Kalaitzis, stepped onto the red carpet together for the first time. Moss wore a black corset and dark jeans for the occasion.

Billie has explained that she prefers wearing looser clothing because it gives her a feeling of joy and affirmation related to her gender identity, which she refers to as ‘gender euphoria’.

In an interview with Elle magazine, she revealed she used to have a very unhealthy relationship with her body and struggled with eating problems. She recalled feeling relieved when she could hide her body in oversized clothing.

She mentioned Harlem fashion icon Bloody Osiris, along with musicians Missy Elliott and Tyler, The Creator, as inspirations for her style. She described her look as a way to express her gender identity, but admitted she sometimes struggled with how it related to her own sense of femininity.

The artist behind the song ‘LUNCH’ explained that he was driven by both his passion for hip-hop and his desire to grow up and become a man.

We all carry some ingrained bias against femininity. For me, that meant I didn’t want to be perceived as feminine because I wrongly associated it with weakness. I’ve since learned to overcome that feeling.

Okay, so I just found out the premiere is happening, which is amazing, BUT – and this is HUGE – apparently Billie is seriously considering starring in a movie version of ‘The Bell Jar’! Like, actual talks are happening, and it sounds like it could really happen! I’m already obsessed with the thought of her as Esther Greenwood, honestly. It’s perfect!

The actress will play Esther Greenwood, a 19-year-old student from Boston, who struggles with severe depression. The story follows her after she attempts suicide following a promising internship in New York City in 1953, and her subsequent hospitalization.

It’s not surprising Billie, who was born O’Connell, would take on this role. She’s been very open about her long-term battles with depression, anxiety, and self-harm.

Focus Features is finalizing a deal to distribute the film in the United States, according to Deadline. The movie will be written and directed by Sarah Polley, who has an Academy Award for screenwriting.

The Bell Jar is the fifth film directed by the acclaimed filmmaker, following her previous works: Women Talking (2022), Stories We Tell (2012), Take This Waltz (2011), and Away from Her (2006).

Esther, struggling with depression and having undergone electroconvulsive therapy, was trying to find herself in a society that heavily favored men. The book’s title symbolized the overwhelming and restrictive feelings caused by her depression.

Many readers consider The Bell Jar to be based on Sylvia Plath’s own life. In 1953, she interned at Mademoiselle magazine, and later received treatment at the McLean Hospital before tragically taking her own life at the young age of 30.

The author, who won a Pulitzer Prize after her death, first published her only novel in 1963 using the pen name Victoria Lucas. Her real name wasn’t connected to the book until 1966 internationally, and 1971 in the United States.

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? I’ve been following a Bell Jar movie adaptation for YEARS. First, I was SO excited when I heard Julia Stiles was going to be involved back in 2007, but sadly, it never happened. Then, more recently, in 2016, it looked like Dakota Fanning was going to star in a version directed by Kirsten Dunst! I was practically counting down the days…but that one fell through too. It’s just so frustrating – will we ever get to see Sylvia Plath’s masterpiece on the big screen?!
