On February 10, Bebe Rexha will attend her first Grammys as a nominee for Best New Artist and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. It's a big night for her—and one that has come with an unexpected complication. Rexha says many designers have refused to dress her because she is a size 6/8 and considered "too big" to them.
Rexha posted an Instagram video where she detailed what was happening to her. “So I finally get nominated at the Grammys, and it’s like the coolest thing ever,” Rexha started. “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. Literally, like, I’m too big."
"If a size 6/8 is too big, then I don’t know what to tell you," she continued. "Then I don’t want to wear your fucking dresses because that’s crazy ‘cause you’re saying that all the women in the world that are a size 8 and up are not beautiful and they cannot wear your dresses. So to all the people who said I’m thick and I can’t wear your dresses, fuck you, I don’t want to wear your fucking dresses.”
