Billie Eilish Is 17, But Her Music Is for Grownups Too

The party had an open bar, but Billie Eilish was nowhere near the free champagne. At 17, the evening's star and musical guest was a good 10 years younger than most of the hip Manhattan crowd filling the cavernous Lower East Side gallery on a February night. The occasion? The launch of her magazine cover for Garage, created by the renowned artist Takashi Murakami.

Eilish, a singer-songwriter beloved by Gen Z--she has 15 million Instagram followers--is not yet a household name.
