Billie Eilish in Talks for The Bell Jar Role

The 24-year-old singer showed up in a sharp, saline suit with a black jacket, matching trousers, blue shirt, and striped tie finishing it off. With black trainers and her brunette hair loose, she has opened up before about feeling what she calls gender euphoria from wearing men's clothes, tying it back to her love for hip-hop culture, and past struggles with body image. Billie said baggy or fits brought her relief from toxic feelings around femininity and weakness. On the blue carpet, she posed with filmmaker James Cameron, who produced the movie, and looked sleek and all black. Other stars like presenter Clara Ampho, and a purple mini-dress, and Lottie Moss with her boyfriend, also joined the vibe. Now there's buzz about Billie landing her acting debut in an adaptation of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.
