A daring statement was made by Billie Eilish on the red carpet of the 2024 Oscars.

The 22-year-old singer-songwriter showed up dressed in a knee-length black and white plaid skirt, a classy white collared shirt, and a form-fitting black peplum jacket. The “What Was I Made For” singer embraced a full glam approach with a sleek blowout and a nude lip, while also adding a schoolgirl touch with white socks and Mary Jane shoes.

Eilish accessorised with a black-and-white checkered Chanel handbag and affixed an Artists4Ceasefire red pin to her jacket to draw attention to her ensemble.

Her second Oscar nomination came in January when the Academy revealed that “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie soundtrack was up for Best Original Song.

The pop singer and her 26-year-old brother, Finneas O’Connell, expressed their pleasure after the 96th annual Academy Awards nominees were announced.

The Grammy winner posted a cute picture of herself hugging Margot Robbie, the film’s producer and actress, on Instagram. She also shared a screen grab of the sequence from the movie that included the moving ballad. The siblings thanked and expressed their excitement in a statement they released together with the latter.

“We feel deeply grateful for the nomination for ‘What Was I Made For?'” This means a great deal to us as lifelong enthusiasts of films, music in films, and the Academy Awards. We are incredibly appreciative to the Academy, its members, and the opportunity to be honoured among so many talented and deserving composers.

In honour of her first nomination, Eilish attended her second Oscars ceremony in March 2022, looking lovely in a special Gucci gown with ruffles. Along with O’Connell, she received a nomination and a win for Best Original Song for their song “No Time to Die” from the James Bond movie.
