Bebe Rexha isn't afraid of being a bit cheeky in her VMA outfit.
The I'm A Mess singer arrived to the MTV Video Music Awards in a black skintight leather-like dress. She paired it with black heels, matching silver bracelets on each wrist, and long chandelier silver earrings. She had her blond hair down and parted in the middle. But the back of the dress was the real showstopper.
She turned around for the cameras, showing off the back of her dress. There were two small circular holes showing off her bum cheeks through the dress. Though she isn't showing a lot, it was a definite surprise to viewers.

But that doesn't mean she's immune to social media bullies. "I am so anxious and stressed about going on the red carpet and I guess people talking about my weight, 'cause I’m not really loving myself right now," she added. "I am not really feeling like the bad [girl] that I usually am."

Let me tell you: Right now, I’m not feeling so confident." After a night of reflection, Bebe posted to her Instagram Story, writing: "See you tonight @VMAS!"
