Billie Eilish's Mid-Century Makeover for 'The Bell Jar' Film Adaptation

Billie Eilish, known for her tomboyish style and fashion inspirations Tyler, the Creator and Missy Elliott, is undergoing a dramatic style transformation for her role as Esther Greenwood in Sarah Polley's upcoming film adaptation of Sylvia Plath's 1963 novel 'The Bell Jar'. Photographs from the Toronto set show Eilish in a scarlet short-sleeved knit top, a full A-line check skirt, and a tidy side part with bold red lip. This look contrasts sharply with her usual boxy Polo shirts and Celine suits, but echoes the Old Hollywood-inspired Oscar de la Renta gown she wore to the 2021 Met Gala. The film, set in the early 1950s, follows Esther's summer internship at a women's magazine in New York City and her subsequent mental health crisis after returning to the Boston suburbs. Carey Mulligan is set to play Esther's mother. Eilish's wardrobe for the film is expected to feature twin sets and pearls, marking a significant departure from her previous style.
