Billie Eilish was among the star-studded lineup of performers at tonight’s Grammy Awards. Taking the main stage with her brother, Finneas, the singer performed her ballad “What Was I Made For?” from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie soundtrack. A highlight of the performance? Eilish’s embrace of method dressing.
Just like how Barbie star Margot Robbie channeled vintage Barbie looks in fresh, new ways throughout the film’s press tour, Eilish chose to nod to an archival Barbie for her Grammys performance outfit tonight. The singer graced the stage clad as 1965 Poodle Parade Barbie.
What is this specific doll reference, you may be wondering? The 1965 Poodle Parade Barbie imagined Barbie in her latest campy role: A professional (and stylish) dog trainer, in which her accessory is her beloved white poodle. The doll came dressed with a pink headscarf, green cocktail dress, diamond-checkered coat, and glamorous cat eye sunglasses—all of which Eilish matched perfectly for her Grammys performance. The only thing the singer forwent, however, was the 1965 Barbie’s poodle-printed handbag. Because that would be overkill.
