As a rising celebrity who is popular amongst the new generation, she evokes a postmodern portrayal of a star image, somewhat of an “anti-star” if you will. Through different aspects of her career that is exploited in the media, her authenticity is presented throughout due to her expressive nature and realist approach. It is evident in this portfolio that she follows a trend of creativity and individuality in the published content of her whilst still coherently maintaining a pattern of an atypical star image.]]> 2020-03-05 16:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/455156308 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/481872903 She sports a rugged look for a public appearance, wearing loose black and green clothing, which is a consistent pattern in the majority of her social media images and appearances. This demonstrates her ability to captivate things so universal, such as colours. By doing this, she has created her own trademark and developed an ownership which the fashion aspect of her star image will be represented as authentic.]]> 2020-03-30 11:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/481872903 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/481938038 2020-03-30 12:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/481938038 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501267183 ‘Carpool Karaoke’ - a prominent feature of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden,’ helps to convey a more lighthearted yet intimate view of the life of a celebrity while simultaneously showcasing their singing talent. Therefore, in Billie Eilish’s feature of this segment, it unfolds aspects of her personality on a whole other level. At the end of the interview, she brings Corden to the humble root of her creativity; where her self-made music came to life accompanied by her brother Phineas - her family home where she still lives and more importantly her bedroom, where she wrote and recorded her latest album. ]]> 2020-04-09 20:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501267183 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501323629 2020-04-09 21:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501323629 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501351187 2020-04-09 22:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501351187 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501361737 This interview sparks an interesting view of Eilish’s star image due to the idea that this is a record of her evolution as a celebrity over time whilst also tracking her success and the reasons why her star image has progressed massively. In addition to this, we see her growth as an adolescent which is relatable in many ways as we witness changes in her personal development. This is tracked through the same interview questions yet different answers.]]> 2020-04-09 22:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501361737 201267768 https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501603634 In the opening night of her world tour, Eilish opens with a clip revealing her body, which juxtaposes her usual fashion choices of baggy clothing. This was to make a statement and in no means a form of conformity, but a political stance in protest to body shamers of the media celebrity. This physical presentation contradicts her style however it is the metaphorical meaning behind it that is important. It is another way of expressing her “free spirit” attitude, a key symbol of her star image and what attracts her fan base.]]> 2020-04-10 07:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/201267768/lbdp8yrwlyq4/wish/501603634
