Billie Eilish Puts Her Spin On Classic NBA Gear With New Mitchell & Ness X Complex Hat Collection

Global popstar and hat aficionado Billie Eilish is upping her fashion game with an exclusive new partnership, teaming up with Complex, Fanatics, and the iconic sportswear company Mitchell & Ness.

According to an official press release sent to The Blast, Eilish has teamed up with Complex, Fanatics, and Mitchell & Ness to launch an exclusive collection of NBA hats.

The collection reimagines classic NBA headwear, featuring custom Eilish-designed patches on Mitchell & Ness' popular snapback hats to add a unique flair for each team.

Eilish's new collection includes exclusive designs for 17 different NBA teams, including major franchises such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The new collection is clearly inspired by the "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT" singer's signature personal style, which often consists of oversized silhouettes and vintage sportswear.

The collection is available to shop on Mitchell & Ness and Complex's websites.

The collaboration will likely come as no surprise to her most loyal fans, as the 23-year-old has long been vocal about her passion for fashion and curating her own personal style.

“I've always loved fashion so much and always had a real fascination with it,” Eilish said in 2024, per Complex. “In middle school, all I would talk about is clothes, and I would always notice clothing and style. I still kind of think about fashion first when I meet somebody.”

Online, fans couldn't contain their excitement over the new collaboration, rushing to the comment section of a recent post showing Eilish modeling the hats to shower the Grammy winner with love.

"Does it come with the model?" one user asked, while another wrote, "It's a great collection!" before begging for a line of NHL hats in the future.

Another user joked, "Suddenly, I know the names of basketball teams," and a fourth posted, "Trying to be so nonchalant and cool about this right now."

This new venture into fashion comes after years of Eilish facing intense public scrutiny over her clothing choices. In April 2023, she made headlines when she responded to critics, explaining that after five years of negative comments about her style, she'd grown numb to the critique.

"I spent the first 5 years of my career getting absolutely obliterated by you fools for being boy-ish and dressing how I did & constantly being told I'd be hotter if I acted like a woman," Eilish wrote. "And now when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I changed and am a sellout."

The "bad guy" singer went on, insisting that she can "be both" while slamming the "idiots" and "bozos" who analyze her every move. "Let women exist!" she finished.

Years prior, Eilish addressed the constant conversations about her style of dress in a previous interview, saying, "I never want the world to know everything about me."

She continued, "I mean, that's why I wear big, baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what's underneath, you know?"

According to a previous report from The Blast, Eilish also got candid about body image and self-worth during a separate interview, where the "No Time To Die" singer answered questions submitted by fellow celebrities.

Responding to a question from Nicki Minaj about her beauty, Eilish said the inquiry made her "tear up a little" because she has always found it challenging to view herself in high regard.

"... I've never really felt very beautiful or seen myself in that way, so I definitely never struggled with the idea that it would overshadow anything since I didn't even really see it myself," she said before adding, "I had to really convince myself that I am beautiful."

She went on, "Being a woman is hard."

Elsewhere, during the interview, Eilish answered another question from actor Idris Elba about the origin of her name, to which she surprisingly admitted to hating growing up.

"I thought Billie was a boy's name. That's all I ever heard every day of my life," she said. "I remember just being so mad, and all I wanted was to have a girly name, like Violet or Lavender, some sort of, you know, pretty flowery name."

However, over time, Eilish learned to accept her moniker, adding," there's no other name in the universe that could be my name besides Billie. I love my name so, so, so much. It really is the only possible choice for who I am."
