If looking your best self is the number one way to silence your critics, then Bebe Rexha has a masterclass for us all.

Arriving on the Grammy Awards red carpet on Sunday night wearing a beautiful black Robert Wun gown, the singer-songwriter's appearance marked five years since she memorably addressed the designers who didn't want to dress her at the 2019 Grammys.

The singer-songwriter, who - in 2019 - received a nomination for Best New Artist and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, rocked up to the red carpet wearing a breathtaking crimson-hued gown complete with an extravagant tulle skirt and plunging neckline.

As if the outfit choice wasn't enough to warrant a standing ovation, Rexha recently made headlines for speaking out about the struggle she faced getting fashion designers to dress her because of her size.

In January 2019, the pop singer took to Instagram to blast designers who had refused to dress her for the prestigious awards ceremony because her size eight body didn't conform to runway proportions.

Speaking to Access Hollywood on the red carpet, the then-29-year-old singer Rexha to Ryan Seacrest: "You wish you would've dressed my fat a**.'

"I was really heartbroken and it bummed me out," she continued in the interview. "I just want other girls to love their bodies."

With that incredible Monsoori dress and a body positivity message winning hearts around the world, we'd say that Bebe is definitely having the last laugh.
