Here's Why Celebrities Are Wearing A White Rose At The 2018 Grammys

Following movie and television actors who all wore black in support of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month, several of music's biggest stars followed suit with their own version at the Grammy Awards, donning white roses on their outfits as they walked in to Madison Square Garden for the big night.

The white roses were being displayed in solidarity with the two campaigns that are speaking out against sexual misconduct both in Hollywood and other industries, following accusations that have unfolded against several men since initial allegations came out against movie producer Harvey Weinstein in Oct. 2017.

The inclusion of the rose was a somber reminder of the movements on a night that is known for seeing celebrities expressing themselves with more wild displays of fashion. The demonstration was organized by Roc Nation Senior VP Meg Harkins and Karen Rait, rhythmic promotion at Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records. The women chose the white rose for the practicality, but also because white is a symbolic color—suffragettes wore white during their protests, and Hillary Clinton also donned the color while attending Donald Trump's presidential inauguration in 2017.

Among those sporting a White Rose on the red carpet were Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and Miley Cyrus.

However, the rose wasn't the only potential symbol of solidarity with the movements on the Red Carpet, as those same stars, as well as several others, also still opted largely for black ensembles. It's unclear if that is also a part of the protest.
