Billie Eilish has been photographed in character for the upcoming film adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar. Images captured during filming in Toronto show the singer with auburn-brown hair, pearl earrings and clothing inspired by the 1950s.
The production places Eilish in the lead role of Esther Greenwood, a young aspiring writer whose life changes after she accepts an internship at a women’s magazine in New York City. The story follows Esther as she faces growing pressure, questions about her identity and a serious decline in her mental health.
The movie will mark Eilish’s first leading role in a feature film. She previously appeared in the television series Swarm, but The Bell Jar represents a much larger acting commitment.
