As a result of Billie Eilish’s cover picture for British Vogue, which pays homage to classic Hollywood glamour, a debate has erupted regarding the sexualization of women’s bodies in popular media.
Since she rose to stardom as a 14-year-old composer, the singer, now 19, has made it a point to appear in public wearing baggy attire.
