She admitted to having a difficult time finding the perfect dress for The Grammys as designers were challenged with providing a garment for her size eight frame.
But Bebe Rexha told Ryan Seacrest that she felt ‘like a princess’ wearing a stunning crimson-hued gown to the awards show at Staples Center on Sunday night.
The 29-year-old pop princess, who is nominated for two statues, showed off her killer curves in the tiered frock, with Seacrest noticeably not asking who she ultimately decided to wear.
Bebe Rexha told Ryan Seacrest that she felt ‘like a princess’ wearing a stunning crimson-hued gown to the awards show at Staples Center on Sunday night
Certainly feeling herself, during a quick interview with Access Hollywood, Bebe quipped: ‘you wish you would’ve dressed my fat a**.’
Bebe admitted the outpouring of love has ‘been amazing’ and completely unexpected after lamenting her limited choices for the big night.
‘I was really heartbroken and it bummed me out,’ she said. ‘I just want other girls to love their bodies.’
She revealed that certain designers were quick to call, including Jeremy Scott, Christian Siriano and Karl Lagerfeld.
Beaming: The 29-year-old pop princess, who is nominated for two statues, showed off her killer curves in the tiered frock, with Seacrest noticeably not asking who she ultimately decided to wear
When Seacrest asked if any designers changed their tunes upon hearing Bebe’s social media rant, she said yes.
‘I’m not telling you,’ she said before adding, ‘There were designers who came back.’
But Rexha ultimately felt no ill-will toward the people who decided to not provide dresses for the star.
‘I’m ok, I don’t get angry at people,’ she said. ‘I want to wear people who love me for me.’
Stunning: She revealed that certain designers were quick to call, including Jeremy Scott, Christian Siriano and Karl Lagerfeld
Wow: Bebe admitted the outpouring of love has ‘been amazing’ and completely unexpected after lamenting her limited choices for the big night; with H.E.R.
Earlier this year, Bebe told her followers she had to get something off her chest when it comes to awards shows.
‘If you don’t like my fashion style or my music that’s one thing. But don’t say you can’t dress someone that isn’t a runway size,’ she said.
‘So, I finally get nominated at the Grammys and it’s like, the coolest thing ever,’ Bebe said into the camera on social media. ‘And a lot of times, artists will go and talk to designers and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet.’
Sparkler: Rexha added a gorgeous diamond necklace to her cheery ensemble
She continued: ‘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, I’m too big.’
‘If a size 6/8 is too big, then I don’t know what to tell you,’ Bebe said.
Adding: ‘Then I don’t want to wear your f**king dresses. ‘Cause that’s crazy. You’re saying that all the women in the world that are size 8 and up are not beautiful and they cannot wear your dresses.’
Star power: Bebe rocked a red tulle gown with layers of fabric after having a difficult time finding a designer to dress her; seen with Shawn Mendes
