Billie Eilish Knocks It Out of the Park With Ribbon Baseball Cap Look
When it comes to setting trends, Billie Eilish is no rookie player. The alt-pop songstress stepped up to the plate on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday night, hitting a home run with an unexpected styling move that fused girly hair ribbons with a tomboyish baseball cap.Eilish’s oversized outfit leaned into her signature aesthetic – a boxy plaid vest, distressed jorts, and an ample white tee.
