Bebe Rexha hit the 2019 Grammys red carpet feeling like a self-described princess in her red dress after revealing to fans that several designers refused to style her for the big event. The 29-year-old singer took to the 61st Annual Grammy Awards red carpet Sunday wearing a plunging dress with tulle. To accentuate the ensemble was a diamond necklace that matched her earrings and bracelet. With her hair pulled back and her look fully glammed out, she discussed what being on the red carpet meant to her. "I'm wearing Monsoori!" Rexha told Entertainment Tonight. "He won Vogue Arabia's No. 1 designer and he worked with my body and I feel amazing." BEBE REXHA FLIPS OUT OVER AUDIENCE'S JADED RESPONSE TO HER HIT SONG: 'I WORK TOO 'F---ING' HARD FOR THIS' She continued: "I wanted to go for a princess look, but not only that, I had Karl Lagerfeld, Jeremy Scott, Moschino, Christian Siriano and Michael Costello all send me stuff and that was really awesome. I really didn't expect that, so my size 8 a-- is here on the red carpet." The singer, who is nominated for best new artist and best collaboration for “Meant to Be” with Florida Georgia Line, also joked that the beauty of the dress came from the fact that she could eat a burger in it. Her confidence on the red carpet was good news for fans as she tweeted shortly before the event that she was nervous. “I’m so nervous I could die,” she wrote. “Grammy day.” Her red carpet looked carried more metaphorical baggage than most after she took to Instagram weeks ago to reveal to fans that certain unnamed designers didn’t want to style her due to her size. "So, I finally get nominated at the Grammys and it's like the coolest thing ever. And a lot of times artists will go and talk to designers, and they’ll make them custom dresses to walk the red carpet," Rexha said. "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."

Because 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."

The 29-year-old singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha, who was a nominee at the 61st Grammy Awards on Sunday, pushed the conversation further into the mainstream in late January, when she posted an Instagram video explaining that designers wouldn’t dress her for awards season because she’s “a size 8.” The native New Yorker ended up getting dressed for the Grammys without issue, sporting a red tulle gown by Bahraini designer Shaima Monsoori.

For Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammys soiree, Los Angeles-based designer August Getty created two looks — a custom ellipse hem gown with matching cocktail pants for the red carpet and a 30,000-Swarovski-crystal-festooned, form-fitting dress for her performance at the bash.

That led to the performer’s interest in a white similarly shaped gown.

Rexha’s mother, who came to the fittings with ideas of her own. What exactly made Getty reach out after seeing Rexha’s video? “I’m proud that Bebe spoke up,” he said. “As designers, it is our job is to illuminate beauty — not to shame anyone. Sometimes people forget that. That needs to change.” Advertisement image@latimes.com For fashion news, follow us at @latimesimage on Twitter.<doc-sep>Bebe Rexha has delivered a powerful message to fashion designers who refused to dress her for the Grammy Awards 2019. Last month, the 29-year-old singer explained in a video on Instagram how several designers rejected her stylists' requests for outfits for the music ceremony because she was deemed “too big”. Rexha is a UK size 12. “So all the people who said I’m thick and can’t wear dresses: F**k you, I don’t wanna wear your f**king dresses,” she said to her 7.3 million followers in the clip which resulted in a wave of supportive comments from social media users including Demi Lovato and Tyra Banks. On Sunday night, the singer – who was nominated for two awards at the ceremony – spoke to Access Online and delivered a poignant message to designers who body-shamed her in the lead up to the awards show. Showing off her dark red tulle layered dress by Middle Eastern fashion label Monsoori, she turned to the camera and said: You wish you had dressed my fat as**!”<doc-sep>
Bebe Rexha was ready to feel like a princess at the Grammys after struggling to find a designer who would sign on to dress her. She wore a billowing multilayer tulle red dress that featured a plunging neckline, paired with sparkling jewelry. People and ET reported her show-stopper was by Monsoori. "I was in the studio one day and one of my friends called me – and he’s a stylist – and he told me that a lot of designers, we couldn’t get them because I didn’t fit in the show sizes, which is a 0 to 2. And I was really upset and I decided to make a video," she told E! cameras in a pre-taped segment that aired during the network's red carpet coverage on Sunday. On Jan. 21, Rexha made waves when she revealed via Instagram that designers didn't want to dress her due to her size.

Then I don’t want to wear your (expletive) 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.” Rexha said on the red carpet the response has been outrageous, with many A-list designers since offering to help her out. "It's been amazing. I didn't expect it. I just did the video because I was really heartbroken, and it, like, bummed me out. … They said I was too big or fat, and I love my body and I just want other girls to love their bodies."

She was shown trying on several glamorous gowns. "I want to have, like, a Cinderella moment," she dished. "I can’t believe that I am finally nominated for a Grammy – two Grammys. To me, this is my Cinderella moment." Rexha was up for Grammy Awards for new artist and country duo/group performance. Dua Lipa took home the best new artist trophy and Dan + Shay won the country duo award. "At the end of the day, I truly believe it’s what's inside and the music that you’re making and the art that you’re making," she said. Rexha also opened up about her personal life while speaking to USA TODAY on the red carpet. “I’ve never had a Valentine," she said regarding her plans for Valentine's Day later this week. But she is happy to celebrate with her pals. “Oh, yeah. We’ll go to dinner, come over to my house and watch a romantic comedy and eat pizza and just play board games. Very chill. I don’t mind not having a Valentine! Because if it’s not the right one, I don’t want to waste my time.” Contributing: Andrea Mandell, Susan Haas
