Bebe Rexha Brings Bombshell Glamour to the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Soirée
The red carpet at last night’s Billboard Women in Music event was a veritable runway of showstopping looks, but all eyes were firmly on pop provocateur Bebe Rexha as she arrived in a sartorial stance of unapologetic seduction. The “I’m Good” hitmaker commanded attention in an ensemble that celebrated her signature brand of bold, bombshell glamour from head to toe – or should we say, from tressed tresses to towering heels.
For her grand entrance at Los Angeles’s YouTube Theater, the Brooklyn-born beauty channeled modern-day Jessica Rabbit in a plunging black corset gown. Constructed of a sculpting leather-like material, the daring design featured a peekaboo lace-up bodice that highlighted Rexha’s ample assets while nipping her in at the waist. Below, the gown’s curve-skimming skirt provided the perfect backdrop for the true stars of this showstopping getup – a pair of sky-high patent leather pumps.
These weren’t just any ordinary heels, darlings. Towering at least five inches from arched footbed to dagger-like pointed toe, the glossy black stilettos elevated Rexha’s petite 5’6″ frame into the stratosphere of statuesque seduction. Each sleek step was a defiant stomp, the click of those spiked heels on the crimson carpet reverberating with a potent message: I’m here, I’m confident, I’m sexy as hell.
Of course, Rexha’s hairstyling and makeup followed suit in a full-glam take on theatrical glamour. Cascading in tousled blonde waves, her platinum tresses framed her face in an alluring light-meets-dark contrast against her smokey charcoal eye makeup and punchy crimson lip. A sparkling diamond rivière necklace provided just the right touch of regal embellishment.
All told, it was a look that commanded both desire and respect – a sartorial declaration that in the music industry, women can be multidimensional. We’re talent, we’re power, we’re beauty, we’re wisdom…and we sure as hell can rock a killer pair of stilettos while bringing it all to the stage.
For Rexha, those skyscraper heels were an empowering accoutrement amplifying her signature spark of playful confidence. Towering above the masses in her glossy black stilts, she blew kisses, posed on point with hands on hips, and even kicked up those spiked heels in a flirtatious flourish for the cameras. It was a masterclass in working a photographer’s lens and cementing an iconic fashion moment.
The evening’s hostess Tracee Ellis Ross surely approved, as the annual Billboard Women in Music honors femmes who have demonstrated music’s new status as a “global enterprise.” This year’s impactful honorees included Colombian reggaeton queen Karol G as Woman of the Year, alt-pop renegade Charli XCX, country maverick Maren Morris, Okay-pop phenoms NewJeans, Nigerian afrobeats star TEMS, Grammy-winning songwriter Victoria Monét as Rising Star, Japanese-British genre-blur Young Miko, and Brazilian singer-songwriter Luísa Sonza.
With such an electric, eclectic lineup of trailblazing voices, it was only fitting that the event’s red carpet radiated with equally bold, individualistic style statements. But for sheer glamour amplified to a telltale roar by those indomitable stilettos, none could hold a sunburst mirror ball to Bebe Rexha in full sartorial command.
