The 26-year-old singer admitted that the designer - who is largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream - helped her through a phase of "questioning her body" as Vivienne, 77, has always created pieces that "celebrate women".
In an interview with Vogue Australia, she said: "I remember when I was 18, I got really into Vivienne Westwood, especially all of her Sex era stuff, and was going through that phase of questioning my body, like: 'Do I look okay? Am I thin enough? Am I curvaceous enough?'
"Vivienne Westwood's clothes have always celebrated women and the way they are, the bodies they come naturally with. She makes everybody into a punk goddess.
The 'Boys' hitmaker went on to explain that the designer influenced her "messy edge" and helped her accept that she's "not a supermodel".
She said: "Now I always have a sort of messy edge to me; I'm always the girl who falls over or accidentally f***s up in the picture. I'm not a supermodel and I'm just like whatever, that's me."
The 'Boom Clap' singer previously confessed that her outfit choice depends on "how she feels" and what mood she's in.
She explained: "I always just really dress how I feel. It depends on how I wake up in the morning, what mood I'm in.
"I definitely feel like I'm wearing stuff now that I would've never worn two or three years ago. Like, I used to never wear trainers or jeans, and now I wear trainers and jeans all the time! I'm about five million years late on that look."
