On November 2, 2019, Eilish attended the LACMA Art + Film Gala with a brown mullet that was dyed neon green at the roots. As Insider's Anneta Konstantinides previously reported, the young musician "was quickly praised for making the daring cut 'look so cool.'"
When approached by a TMZ reporter after the event, however, Eilish said she never intended on having a mullet.
"All your fans are loving the mullet, are you gonna start a trend now?" the TMZ reporter asked.
"Mullet? What you mean, mullet?" Eilish replied.
She went on to say that people were "mean" to say her hairstyle resembled a mullet, and added: "No, listen. You know what happened? Somebody dyed my hair and they burned half of it. So now it looks like a mullet. That s--- is not on purpose though."
