One thing we love about Billie Eilish is that she's always pushing the boundaries of beauty and fashion. We've seen her experiment not just with her musical sound but also with her hair color, personal style and body art, and as she continues to evolve as an artist and a person, she continues to keep us guessing what she'll do next.
For the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala, Eilish skipped the red carpet hairstyling session and opted for a surprising hair accessory instead, covering up most of her hair with a shimmery black Gucci scarf that matched her black Gucci logo print top embellished with a sparkly collar and coordinating trousers. Eilish wore the scarf placed back at the crown of her hair so her neon red roots could peek out and get their well-deserved moment in the spotlight. She tied the piece of cloth under her chin with a few pieces of hair pulled out to frame her face, and while the scarf pretty much covers up the rest of her hair, you can see what appears to be a low, messy knot peeking out underneath in casual photos from the event.
Eilish paired the bandana with sunglasses, under which she wore minimal eye makeup save for a stroke of black eyeliner and some mascara. She finished off her gala look with pale pink matte lipstick and skipped the manicure entirely. (It seems like she's been taking a break from her long nails.)
The scarf may be a surprising accessory for a gala event, but Eilish often wears scarves and bandanas around her hair; she also sells a handful of scarves and bandanas in her official store so fans can replicate her looks. Just a few days before the LACMA gala, Eilish was seen at an AFI event wearing a printed polka dot scarf in a similar fashion. Given that Eilish is an ambassador for Gucci, it's no surprise that her scarf came from the Italian fashion house. We also know that she loves layering, and the scarf-under-the-chin is a slightly retro, Hitchcock heroine vibe that feels so cool and modern on Eilish.
