Billie Eilish showed some skin on her recent outing as she ditched her baggy clothes for a matching gray tank top and shorts.

Eilish has been very vocal about her insecurities and stance against body shaming. She said in a previous interview that she wears baggy clothes to hide her body and not attract the public's attention, but she seems to be over it at present.

Page Six shared a photo of Eilish when the artist recently stepped out wearing a tank top with a spaghetti strap that showed her bare shoulders and arms. The tight top clung to her body and showed off her figure. She paired it with loose shorts, socks and slippers. In the photo, the "Lovely" hitmaker tied her green hair in a top knot bun.

According to the outlet, the 18-year-old seemed to be experimenting with different styles including outfits that show some skin. Eilish used to wear oversized clothes — a style choice that became one of her trademarks. In 2019, she spoke about her choice of outfits.

"I never want the world to know everything about me," she said in a 2019 Calvin Klein campaign as quoted by BuzzFeed. "I mean, that’s why I wear big, baggy clothes: Nobody can have an opinion, because they haven't seen what’s underneath."

She also spoke about her baggy clothing style with Vogue Australia in June 2019 and said that it "gives nobody the opportunity to judge what my body looks like."

Unfortunately for Eilish, no matter what she wore, the body-shamers still targeted her. Last year, she was photographed wearing a tank top while off-duty. Her picture immediately went viral, with many leaving mean comments because of her outfit.

"I saw comments like, ‘How dare she talk about not wanting to be sexualised and wear this?!’" Eilish told Dazed about the incident.

Earlier this year, the teenager shared a photo of her wearing a bathing suit while holidaying with her friends. Many compared her to other famous celebrities of her age who post sexy pictures on social media. One also went as far as calling her a "whore."

"It was trending. There were comments like, ‘I don’t like her any more because as soon as she turns 18 she’s a whore.’ Like, dude. I can’t win. I can-not win," Eilish said.

In May, she released a short film entitled "NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY" that showed her talking about people making judgments about her body. In the video, she asked, "Is my value based only on your perception? Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?"
