Billie Eilish has left fans doing a double take after being photographed almost unrecognisably transformed into a 1950s young woman. The transformation is for her first major feature film role. The 24-year-old singer was spotted on the Toronto set of The Bell Jar with shoulder-length brown hair, a neatly styled period look, pearl earrings, red lipstick and vintage clothing. It is a dramatic departure from the oversized silhouettes and distinctive aesthetic that have long defined her public image.
The transformation is for her portrayal of Esther Greenwood, the troubled young writer at the centre of Sylvia Plath's acclaimed 1963 semi-autobiographical novel. Directed and adapted by Oscar-winning filmmaker Sarah Polley, the film is being shot in Toronto. It also stars Carey Mulligan as Esther's mother, Mrs Greenwood.
