Bebe Rexha says she’s having a hard time getting a custom dress for next month’s Grammy Awards – because designers say she’s “too big”.
The best new artist nominee claimed some of the designers she’d approached did not want to dress her because she’s a size 8 (UK size 10).
“If a size 6/8 is ‘too big’ then I don’t know what to tell you,” Rexha said in an Instagram video.
“I don’t want to wear your [expletive] dresses, ’cause that’s crazy.”
The 29-year-old continued: “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.”
In a caption for the video, she wrote: “I’m sorry, I had to get this off my chest. 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.
“Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less than by their size.”
She signed off by saying her “size 8 ass” would still going to the awards ceremony on 10 February.
Rexha did not name the designers who allegedly turned her down – but her situation is not unique.
