From silvery-grey hair to platinum blonde, here's a look at Billie Eilish's hair evolution over the years.
By

Billie Eilishis officially a redhead — at least, partially. The “Happier Than Ever” singer recently debuted new hair, which consisted of crimson red roots and black all the way though the ends, at Lollapalooza Chicago, but it’s far from the first she’s sported a fresh dye job.
Eilish’s significant hair changes dates all the way back to the beginning of her career — in the video for her breakthrough single, 2016’s “Ocean Eyes,” her naturally blonde hair was dyed to a pale white shade. The bright color remained while she, then a budding pop star, promoted her first EP Don’t Smile at Me (though she would on occasion update the white to a pale silver).
After a “blue” period — when Eilish’s hair ranged in colors of denim, teal and bright blue — she finally settled during When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? era and primarily kept her hair dyed black with neon green roots for the entire album cycle, even for her appearance at the 2020 Grammy Awards (though she later revealed her hair at the awards show was a wig). And while promoting her sophom*ore album, Happier Than Ever, the singer shocked fans by dyeing her dark tresses to a golden blonde to match the era’s more laid back, neutral toned aesthetic.
From Eilish’s jet-black hair to the platinum white, charcoal and ocean blue colors from her early days as a musician, take a look at all of the pop star’s hair transformations in the photo gallery below.
