Remi Bader Makes a Glamorous Grammys Debut at 2025 Ceremony After Opening Up About Relationship with Her Body

Remi Bader just made her Grammys debut!

The social media influencer, 29, made her first-ever appearance at music’s biggest night at the 2025 ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 2, arriving on the red carpet in a gold-and-black look.

For her debut Grammys look, Bader rocked what appeared to be a silky, black mermaid skirt teamed with a structured, beige corset. The statement top featured black, lacy details and a peplum-like silhouette. With her hair, Bader kept the glam vibes going with a sweeping side part and large, loose waves.

For accessories, the content creator kept things simple, pairing the neutral look with just a crystal choker and a single sparkler. And, much like her outfit, her makeup was also neutral but glamorous: a glowy base and dark, dramatic lashes, plus a glossy, beige lip.

The influencer was all smiles as she walked the star-studded red carpet, which she attended as a partner of the Recording Academy. Bader revealed that she would be attending the 2025 Grammys ahead of the show, sharing her excitement in an Instagram video.

“All my life, I’ve dreamed of being a singer, and I knew that realistically wouldn’t happen, but it’s just… it was the dream,” Bader said in the video, cutting to a clip of her younger self belting into the microphone. 

“Anything with music fascinated me,” she added of her younger self before revealing that she even “wanted to be Elvis” at one point — and including photos for proof. And, in the caption, she added, “Pinch me. I am going to the freaking GRAMMYs!!!!”

Bader’s Grammys debut comes a few months after the social media star — who has built a following for her transparency, realistic try-on hauls and un-filtered opinions about body inclusivity — shared a vulnerable update about her health, and specifically her struggles with eating disorders.

In November, the influencer uploaded a video to her social accounts to “share a little about why I’m doing all this food stuff,” referring in part to her decision to incorporate food and restaurant videos into her content. “I’ve obviously struggled with binge eating for years and I feel like I’ve done a lot of work on getting better in terms of it,” she explained in the post.

“I still do have a pretty messed up mindset when it comes to food, but it’s so much better,” she continued. “So I’m enjoying being able to eat all different kinds of foods and that’s why I’ve been wanting to share this. Hope that helps.”

Earlier last year, in August, Bader also addressed comments and criticism she was receiving in the wake of her recent weight loss. “I hide a lot of my comments on here for my own mental health — words like ‘fat’ ‘whale’ ‘obese’ ‘skinny’ ‘tiny’ to name a few,” she wrote a lengthy caption on Instagram.

“But of course I still see them,” she continued, “and it’s hard to see the constant conversation about my body on this app, because I also wonder, why does that need to be the most important thing about me?”

Though her appearance has changed, Bader wrote at the time, she still sees herself the same way “because my body has fluctuated since the day I could remember that my brain has never caught up with knowing if I was bigger or smaller or what I actually looked like.”

And, she concluded, “I am a lot bigger than my body and will always be the same Remi no matter what I weigh, and that I am sure of.”
