Billie Eilish returned to her grungy fashion roots for the premiere of “Turning Red” at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, joining other stars such as Sandra Oh and Rosalie Chiang on the red carpet. The singer’s ensemble was closer to her previous casual streetwear outfits, following a series of dresses and lace dresses last year.
The “Happier Than Ever” musician arrived in a pair of dark blue jeans embroidered on the sides with white crochet bones. Adding to the edgy look of her outfit are two layered t-shirts; a cream long sleeve waffle knit one piece with a distressed hem, with a black Gorillaz graphic t-shirt on top. Eilish finished her look with a pale pink and green plaid beanie, which included pointed edges and a green button.

Styles often feature canvas, leather or rubber uppers in low or high top styles, all featuring chunky platform soles for an extra height increase. Aside from Eilish, stars like Jessica Alba, Jennifer Lopez and Margot Robbie have also donned platform sneakers from Converse, The Kooples and Prada in recent weeks.
