Billie Eilish encourages fans to normalize 'real bodies' after she was photographed wearing tighter clothing

• Billie Eilish recently shared a video from the YouTuber Chizi Duru, who encourages fans "to start normalizing real bodies."
• The post came shortly after Eilish was photographed in Los Angeles wearing a tank top and shorts, rather than her signature baggy clothing.
• As the photos have circulated on Twitter, Eilish has been body-shamed — though many people have jumped to her defense.
• The 18-year-old singer previously said she began wearing baggy clothes because "I hated my body."

Billie Eilish has taken a subtle stance against body-shamers as new photos of her have circulated online.

On Tuesday night, the 18-year-old "Bad Guy" singer shared a short video from Chizi Duru, in which the YouTuber encourages fans "to start normalizing real bodies."

"Not everybody has a wagon behind 'em, OK? Guts are normal. They're normal. Boobs sag — especially after breastfeeding. Instagram isn't real," Duru says in the video.

Eilish posted the clip in her Instagram Story shortly after the Daily Mail published photos of the singer running errands in Los Angeles while wearing a tank top and sweat shorts, rather than her signature baggy style.

Some people reposted the photos on Twitter and made negative comments about the teenager's body. One widely circulated tweet apparently came from a 29-year-old man who said Eilish had "developed a mid-30's wine mom body."

Still, many others have come to Eilish's defense, calling her "beautiful," saying "all bodies deserve to be celebrated," and roundly criticizing unrealistic beauty standards.

Others took the opportunity to recirculate the short film Eilish made entitled "Not My Responsibility," which artfully comments on body-shaming, sexism, and the visual expectations people have placed on her.

"Would you like me to be smaller? Weaker? Softer? Taller?" Eilish narrates. "Would you like me to be quiet? Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest? Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with, is it not what you wanted?"

In April, the Grammy winner told Dazed that she began wearing loose-fitting clothing because she felt insecure.

"The only reason I did it was 'cos I hated my body," Eilish added.

She also told GQ in June that she didn't want anyone judging the size or shape of her body.

"But that doesn't mean that I won't wake up one day and decide to wear a tank top, which I have done before," she said at the time.

"Sometimes I dress like a boy," Eilish added. "Sometimes I dress like a swaggy girl. And sometimes I feel trapped by this persona that I have created because sometimes I think people view me not as a woman."
