The photo, posted Wednesday, had more than 11 million likes within hours of it being posted, and the caption simply read, “Pinch me.”
The “Ocean Eyes” singer this week unveiled a new look, departing from the green hair that had become her signature in recent years.
Now, it’s not that Eilish hasn’t experimented with the light side before. She had faded blond highlights along with her signature neon green in September 2019. She also shared a mullet cut in November of that year. But unlike her other looks, which proudly displayed her very dark roots, her new hairstyle is a full-head, single-color process.
The shaggy hair cut that accompanied her new dye job was highlighted in another post on social media in which the singer simply wrote, “pinch me.” It’s safe to assume she’s pleased.
Eilish has plenty to celebrate these days — hair aside.
After a slide teasing everyone with “can you guess what color?” against a gray field, the next slide cut to a picture of Eilish showing off the locks. The next read, “Bye greeeeen.”
Eilish, 19, seems to like the whole hair-raising discussion she engenders, unlike when people comment about what she’s wearing or criticize her body. “Some people hate what I wear, some people praise it, some people use it to shame others, some people use it to shame me, but I feel you watching,” she said during a pre-lockdown concert last March. “So while I feel your stares, your disapproval or your sigh of relief, if I lived by them, I’d never be able to move.”
On Sunday, the 19-year-old celebrated her second record of the year win at the Grammys, picking up the award for her song “Everything I Wanted.”
Following a win in another category for her Bond theme song “No Time To Die,” Eilish is now a seven-time Grammy winner.
