[UPDATED] Bebe Rexha Slams Designers for Refusing to Dress Her for the Grammys
Update, 2/10/2019, 6:30 p.m.: Bebe just showed up to the Grammys looking absolutely stunning in a dress by Monsoori. Thank god *someone* came to their senses, right?
Original story: In the mood to be absolutely infuriated? Get ready, because Bebe Rexha just revealed that designers are turning down the opportunity to dress her for the Grammy Awards because she's a size 8. Say it with me: W! T! F!
The star is nominated Best New Artist and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the upcoming awards show, and she hit Instagram to say she's having trouble finding the perfect gown due to designers' refusal to dress her.
"So I finally get nominated at the Grammys and it’s like the coolest thing ever," she said in an Instagram video. "And a lot of times artists will go and talk to designers and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet, right? Like you go to any big designer. So I had my team hit out a lot of designers and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I’m too big."
Bebe then addressed the designers directly: "You’re saying all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and that they cannot wear your dresses," she said. "So all the people who said I’m thick and I can’t wear your dress, f*ck you, I don’t want to wear your f*cking dresses."
This is truly despicable. Here's to hoping that a) this industry changes for the better, and that b) someone steps up to dress Bebe.
