Over the weekend, Bebe Rexha revealed that she cannot find a designer willing to dress her because she's a size eight.This is hardly the first time that celebrities say they have struggled to find designers and stylists to style them for important events.In many of these cases, celebrities have said designers refused to style them because of their size.A number of celebrities, from Megan Mullally to Leslie Jones and beyond, have also called out the fashion industry about being unwilling to dress them.Many celebrities have said publicly that it can be challenging to find a designer to dress them or style them for red carpets, movie premieres, and other important events if they're of a certain size. And although it might not seem like the biggest deal that celebrities can't always find a beautiful outfit to wear, in many cases, it calls attention to the fashion world's lack of size inclusivity.From Melissa McCarthy to Bebe Rexha, here are some celebrities who have said designers wouldn't style them or lend them clothing.Melissa McCarthy said she couldn't find someone to dress her for the 2012 Oscars.In the July 2014 issue of Redbook, Melissa McCarthy noted that, even post-"Bridesmaids," she had a hard time finding a designer willing to dress her for the 2012 Oscars ceremony. "I asked five or six designersvery high-level ones who make lots of dresses for peopleand they all said no," she explained. She, of course, did end up finding a dress to wear to the ceremony, but it wasn't a custom gown from a designer. The gown came from Marina Rinaldi, a ready-to-wear line that's sold in department stores, as the Washington Post reported.Leslie Jones said she couldn't find a designer to dress for her movie premiere.Before the premiere of her movie, "Ghostbusters," actress and comedian Leslie Jones tweeted that she was having a difficult time finding a designer willing to dress her. "It's so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for the movie," Jones wrote. "Hmmm that will change and I remember everything."Some stylists responded telling Jones that the reason she might've struggled to find a dress was pure logistics."She should have known four to five months ago the date of [the] premiere, and said, 'I'm not a sample size, I need to go to designers early or buy myself a dress.' Dont be blaming designers and saying they dont like you," celebrity stylist Jessica Paster, whose clients include Emily Blunt and Nia Vardalos, told The Hollywood Reporter."It's just pure economics," added The Hollywood Reporter's stylist Jeanne Yang. "People have this belief that showrooms and designers have racks and racks of clothing in all sizes. They don't."Fortunately, Jones was able to find a designer to style her. As Vogue reported, less than an hour after she tweeted, designer Christian Siriano had reached out about dressing her for the premiere.Megan Mullally said she couldn't find someone to style her even though she was hosting an event."Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally is hosting the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards, but back in December, Mullally said that designers weren't interested in dressing her for the event, as USA Today reported. She spoke out on Instagram, captioning a photo, "... looks like I will be buying my dress online though, as per my usual, even though there is literally a 100% chance that I will be on camera because I'M HOSTING IT... Designers do not send me dresses ... "And, again, shortly after Mullally's post went public, Siriano offered to create something for her to wear to the event, USA Today added.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
