Rita Ora, Kelly Clarkson, Halsey, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, Gary Clark Jr., and Khalid are among the growing list of musicians who will wear white roses to the 60th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday in support of the Hollywood-led Time’s Up movement, working to end sexual harassment.
“For me, the white rose represents solidarity and a peaceful, beautiful show of support,” Ora told InStyle of this weekend's unofficial dress code, which began picking up steam on Wednesday. “Music has always brought people together and has been an outlet for individuals to express all kinds of emotions. It is important that our art form continue to create safe spaces for people to explore these issues.”
Taking cues from Hollywood—which, earlier this month, transformed the Golden Globes red carpet into a nearly unanimous protest of stars dressed in head-to-toe black—the white rose demonstration is the music industry’s effort to rally behind Time’s Up’s mission and raise money for its $15 million legal defense fund.
