For the May 2022 Met Gala in New York City, Billie Eilish interpreted the “Gilded Glamour” theme through a darker, more sustainable lens.
She arrived in a custom Gucci ensemble designed by Alessandro Michele, notably constructed entirely from upcycled materials. The look successfully balanced historical silhouettes with the singer’s signature gothic aesthetic.

The Gucci dress was made of ivory and duchesse satin, with a gathered ivory skirt, a padded bustle, a sheer green lace underlay, and long sleeves. Eilish told Vogue that she wanted her dress to be “as eco-friendly as possible”.
The design was finished with whimsical, couture-level details—from a trailing skirt accented with soft, floral appliqués to an oversized tonal corsage blooming at the pale gold corset, adding dimension and a romantic, almost painterly touch to the structured silhouette.

She continued with the gilded glam theme of her look by accessorizing with a black choker dripping with diamonds, a pair of drop earrings, and several diamond rings.
Her Met Gala look was grounded by custom beige platform shoes by Gucci, crafted from vegan materials to mirror the gown’s eco-conscious design—subtly peeking through the front slit and reinforcing the harmony between her footwear and the dress’s sustainable, couture-level finish.

As for her take on the Gilded Age-meets-Goth beauty look, the Oscar winner opted for a fauxhawk. She pulled her raven hair up and let loose a few wisps to create a spiky texture.
The popular singer highlighted her eyes with winged eyeliner and pink eyeshadow, completing the look with brushed-up eyebrows and pink lip color.

The previous month, the “Happier Than Ever” superstar also attended the 2022 Grammy Awards in an all-black look by Paris-based American fashion designer Rick Owens.
At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 3, 2022, in Las Vegas, Billie Eilish embraced Rick Owens’ signature dark minimalism in a sculptural, floor-length black ensemble layered under an oversized coat, grounding the dramatic silhouette with thick-soled black platform boots that added weight, height, and a utilitarian edge to the monochrome look (Credit: MEGA / WENN)
She was nominated for seven awards but didn’t win any. “I had this feeling yesterday at the Grammys because we obviously didn’t win anything — I went into the day suspecting we weren’t going to win anything,” Eilish said in an interview.
“And of course, the internet, no matter what happens, is going to be like, ‘You were robbed,’ and I’m just like, ‘I wasn’t, I have seven at home. It’s OK, it’s all good,'” she added.
