No one does hair quite like Billie Eilish. When the singer-songwriter opts for color, she goes bold and leans all the way in. Jewel-toned reds, electric greens, and ocean blues—it's safe to say there isn't a color Eilish is scared to try. Even her haircuts and styles seamlessly transition between long layers and voluminous bobs. A beauty chameleon (to put it lightly), her hair looks are almost as cool and transformative as the lyrics she writes. Almost.
In honor of our cover star—one of the few celebs who could convince us to dye our hair a completely new shade—below are 15 of Eilish’s best hair colors and styles. Scroll through and take a stroll down memory lane.
