Billie is being recognized and thanked “for championing animal rights, never staying silent about injustice, and using her influence to push the fashion industry to recognize that cruelty is never in style.”
If you didn’t know, Billie wore a vegan Oscar de la Renta gown to the 2021 Met Gala and while working with the brand, urged them to stop using fur and they will now be fur-free and has stopped fur sales!
“Billie Eilish is making sure that the party’s over for meaty, milky meals as well as for leather, fur, and silk,” PETA President Ingrid Newkirk shared in a statement. “PETA is happier than ever to celebrate her for seizing every opportunity to point out that vegan fashion and foods are kinder to the animals and the planet we share with them.”
Billie has long been an animal rights activist and has been vegan since age 12.
