Bebe Rexha's Clapback To A Body-Shaming Fashion Industry Is An Attitude We All Should Have

Famous pop singer Bebe Rexha spoke out against designers that declined her for not being the "right" size.

Rexha explained that she got invited to the Grammy's and wanted to get a custom dress. Her team asked multiple designers if they would be willing to create a dress for her and their responses were disgusting. The designers said they did not want to make a dress for her because she is a size eight.

After Bebe got their response, she decided to speak out. She posted a video on Instagram that said she would still be attending the Grammy's, size eight and all. The post got outrageous amounts of positive comments back and she even received comments from designers that would be more than willing to make a dress for her.

Bebe's situation shows us that even celebrities experience issues with society and body image. A woman that many people look up to is being discriminated because she is not a body type that a designer wants to create for. While there are designers that only want "runway size" women, there are also others that embrace all body types.

Designer August Getty commented on her picture: "You are beautiful! Every woman of every size is beautiful! Just let me know when I should start sketching." Along with multiple other designers that were happy to have their designs on her.

This situation could have damaged Bebe's self-confidence but she decided to be positive and use it as a platform to empower women. Rather than deciding not to go Grammy's over the comments, she will still be attending and in a show-stopping dress, I'm sure.

While many still think that beauty has a size, people like Bebe are here to change that belief. Hopefully through celebrities that speak out on issues like this, overall the fashion industry will change their views.

Make this year one of acceptance and empowerment.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
