Billie Eilish Sits on Toilet While Responding to Oscar Dress Criticism
Written by SOURCE on April 2, 2022
Billie Eilish had time this week.
Days after securing her first Academy Award, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter caught wind of a TikTok video in which she was named the “worst-dressed” celebrity on the Oscars red carpet.
“I hate to do it, but here’s my worst dressed from the Oscars,” user @koltenkephart said in the post, before displaying a photo of Eilish in her Gucci gown. “I’ve had enough of her shit.”
Eilish responded to the dig using TikTok’s duet feature: One side of the screen showed @koltenkephart’s critique clip, while other showed Eilish sitting on the toilet while throwing up a peace sign and a middle finger.
“I HAVEN’T had enough of my shit,” she wrote in the caption. “I am shitting right now.”
Other stars who appeared on @koltenkephart’s “worst dressed” list included Kourtney Kardashian, Megan Thee Stallion, Zoë Kravitz, Julia Fox, and Jada Pinkett-Smith. It appears Eilish is the only celebrity who has responded to the clip.
On Thursday, the TikToker shared a post claiming to have received death threats from Eilish fans. But he didn’t seemed to bothered by the attention.
Eilish hit the 94th Academy Awards wearing a custom ruffled dress by Gucci’s creative director, Alessandro Michele. Vogue described the off-the-shoulder gown as “retro glam,” and crowned Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, as the “best-dressed siblings” of the night.
The brother-sister duo ultimately won Best Original Song for “No Time to Die,” the title record for the latest James Bond film. The win made Eilish the second-youngest artist to ever win the Oscar category; Markéta Irglová took home the award in 2018 when she was just 19 years old.
“Words cannot describe how honored and excited we are to have been nominated for an Academy Award for our song ‘No Time to Die,’” the siblings said in a statement to ET. “It was a lifelong dream of ours to write a Bond theme, and one we never thought would ever come true. It’s completely unbelievable that we are here being recognized for this song, and this is a peak life experience for us as songwriters and artists. To be recognized today among these other incredible nominees is something we most certainly do not take for granted.”
