In the run-up to the Grammys, pop star Bebe Rexha posted an Instagram video claiming some designers had refused to dress her because she was a size 12 (US size 8). In the end, Monsoori came to her rescue with this stunning, ruffled red gown.

"I just did the video because I was heart-broken and I was really bummed out," she said on the red carpet. "I love my body and I want other girls to love their body, too."
