Eilish Addressed Her Struggles With Body Dysmorphia

Eilish opened up about her struggles with self-love and beauty standards in her feature in British Vogue's May issue. The Blast reported that she participated in a question-and-answer session where she addressed queries from fellow singers and celebrities.

One question struck a chord with her as it detailed her issues with body dysmorphia. Rapper Nicki Minaj penned her suspicions about Eilish's struggles with beauty, wondering if the singer felt like her physical attributes overshadowed her work.

Minaj asked if Eilish wished people listened more to her music than they paid attention to her beauty, influencing the latter's confession about her challenges with self-confidence.

"I've never really felt very beautiful or seen myself in that way," she revealed, noting this negative thinking never made her feel like the public focused on her body more than her music.

Eilish noted the pressure was overwhelming as she got more famous, but she learned to remain strong-willed and trust the process.

Given her recent success at the 2025 AMAs, Billie Eilish is excellently navigating the world of fame.
