Billie Eilish has hit back at body shamers after she was criticised online following photos of her in a casual outfit went viral.

The 18-year-old singer was pictured wearing a beige tank top with matching shorts as she ran errands in Los Angeles.

The outfit was a far cry from her usual baggy style and oversized clothing and attracted the attention of body shamers who attacked her in comments online.

The teen pop sensation has now hit back by posting a photo of her wearing a clinging vest top, which is in fitting with other images that are promoting her new James Bond theme, No Time To Die.

Billie then followed that by sharing a video on her Instagram Story in which blogger Chizi Duru was urging her followers to "normalise normal bodies".

This came after trolls slammed the teenager's figure online and Billie has reposted the clip to her 67 million followers after it was originally uploaded to TikTok.

In the clip, Chizi asks: "Can we normalize normal bodies?

"Ya'll got to start normalising real bodies, ok? Not everyone has a wagon behind them, ok? Guts are normal.

"They're normal. Boobs sag, especially after breastfeeding. Instagram isn't real."

Billie often wears outfits from Gucci, Burberry and Louis Vuitton but she rarely wears anything that showed her curves as much as the viral pics did.

When starring in a Calvin Klein advert, she said: "I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big baggy clothes.

"Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know?

"Nobody can be like 'oh she’s slim-thick, she’s not slim-thick, she got a flat ass, she got a fat ass.' Nobody can say any of that because they don’t know."

Captioning her new pic on Instagram, Billie wrote: "Do you really wanna go back in time?"

The singer went to number one in the UK charts for the first time with her Bond theme and she received five Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards and One Brit Award for her first studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? which was released in March 2019.
