'Don't make me not a role model because you're turned on by me,' she said.

'I've grown so much and gotten so much better in my voice, it's crazy to think about. I think change is one of the best gifts in the world.'

Billie appeared to be channelling Old Hollywood with her new blonde hair styled into vintage curls for the stunning shoot.

The Grammy Winner posed for the magazine's cover in a plunging pink lace bustier and a sheer PVC skirt, adding to the sophisticated look with matching gloves.

Billie shared a glimpse of the British Vogue cover with her fans on Sunday on Instagram, with the post becoming one of the fastest in history to secure one million likes, as it reached the milestone in just six minutes.

She first revealed she had recorded a new album in COVID-19 lockdown while talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show in February. 

'I don't think I would've made the same album, or even the album at all, if it weren't for Covid,' she said.

And she continued to detail the same sort of evolution that is evident in her hairstyle change, as she told Colbert 'When things are different in your life, you're different. That's just how it is.' 

In recent days Billie was also seen cosying up to a possible new man in her life — actor Matthew Tyler Vorce (who has since turned his Instagram private) — while on a Santa Barbara getaway.  And last week she shared a snap on Instagram with the caption 'kiss me.' 

She was most recently linked to Brandon 'Q' Adams but the relationship fizzled in 2019. And in her documentary The World's A Little Blurry she revealed the reason for their breakup. 

'I just wasn't happy. And I didn't want the same things he wanted and I don't think that's fair, for him. I don't think you should be in a relationship, super excited about certain things that the other person couldn't care less about,' she said.
