Billie Eilish is currently on the European leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour and took a little vacation in Barcelona ahead of her U.K. shows this July. She spent a night on the beach with friends—and gave a rare look at her vacation style in the process. The singer was filmed in the Mediterranean Sea, wearing a red string bikini. See footage here on TMZ.
This isn’t the first time Eilish has been seen in this style of swimwear. Last July, she shared a photo of herself in a pink string two-piece:
And in June 2023, she appeared in a print string bikini top in her friend Annabel Zimmer’s Instagram.
This April, Eilish answered questions from celebrities for British Vogue. Nicki Minaj asked Eilish about how she views herself, prompting Eilish to reflect candidly on her appearance.
“This may be an odd question, but you seem to be a bit uncomfortable with how beautiful you are at times,” Minaj said. “I could be wrong. Many women from all walks of life have felt that their work was overshadowed by their beauty or their physical attributes. Was there ever a time in your career, or before you made it, when you wished people couldn’t see you and that they could only hear the music, and really get a chance to just listen to the written words?”
“Nicki, this question made me tear up a little,” Eilish admitted. “Well…like you said at the beginning of that question, I’ve never really felt very beautiful or seen myself in that way, so I definitely never struggled with the idea that it would overshadow anything, since I didn’t even really see it myself. I’ve had to really convince myself that I am beautiful. Being a woman is hard.”
She also spoke about how she unwinds while answering a question from Ariana Grande.
“I realized recently that I think my favorite thing in the world is to hangout,” she said with a laugh. “Like, I just love being around people that I love, people that make me laugh and make me feel whole. You know: kindred souls. That’s the stuff that keeps me sane. Laughing really is my cure.”
