AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish nailed her double duty on "Saturday Night Live" on December 11. The "Happier Than Ever" hitmaker served as both host and the musical guest for the latest episode of the hit NBC comedy show.
During her "SNL" appearance, Billie was in the holiday spirit as she wore a partially-sheer dress that made her look like Mrs. Claus. The dress, which was designed by Simone Rocha for her spring 2022 ready-to-wear collection, was paired with knee-high boots.
In her monologue, Billie said, "If you don't know me for my music, you may know me for my hair or my clothes. That is why I decided to dress like Mrs. Claus going to the club, but actually, I'm only wearing this because after the show I got to go get married in an anime."
"Some people wonder why I started wearing baggy clothes and there was actually a good reason," the Grammy-winning musician added, before joking, "It wasn't just for comfort or for style. This is hard to say for me, but the real reason I wore big, oversized clothes back then is - I was actually two kids stacked on top of each other trying to sneak into an R-rated movie."
The 19-year-old star also participated in hilarious TikTok-inspired sketches. In one of them, the "Bad Guy" singer became a TikTok star. The footage featured the audience scrolling through a multitude of TikToks that included fit checks to thirst traps an a video of Billie dressed as a nurse doing the latest viral dance challenge while her patient flatlined behind her.
Billie also roasted Weekend Update star Colin Jost along the way. "People just decide that everything you say, and do, and look like, is who you are forever. It's not fair," she explained in her opening monologue. "Would you want to be judged by the way you presented yourself when you were 16?"
She pulled up a photo of a 16-year-old, bespectacled Colin as stating, "Imagine being current-day Colin Jost and the first thing that comes up when you Google yourself is 16-year-old Colin Jost." After trying to maintain her composure, the singer said while laughing, "Yikes. Seen here watching other people go to prom."
In the episode, Billie also treated viewers with a live performance of her songs "Happier Than Ever" and "Male Fantasy."
