Singer Dua Lipa showed her support for the victims of sexual harassment and abuse on the Brit Awards red carpet by carrying a white rose.
Nominees and guests showed up at Wednesday's (21Feb18) ceremony in London wearing wearing white rose pins to show solidarity for the Time's Up movement launched in the wake of the entertainment industry’s sexual assault crisis, but the 22-year-old decided a pin wasn't enough.
One of the first stars to arrive, Dua showed up in a ruffled pink dress, clutching a white rose.
The New Rules star had five nominations going into the big night.
Singers Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding also arrived holding white roses and Ora even posed kissing hers.
Brits bosses wrote to the heads of every U.K. record label, inviting their artists to wear a pin "as a symbol of solidarity" after stars attending the Grammy Awards in New York last month (Jan18) adopted the white rose as a token of unity with victims of abuse.
The Time's Up movement kicked off on New Year's Day (01Jan18), with many celebrities pledging to support the cause, created to help fund victims' legal battles against their abusers and harassers.
Nominees and guests at the Golden Globes in January and the BAFTA Awards in London on Sunday (18Feb18) opted to wear black on the red carpet to show their support.
U.S.-based record company executives Meg Harkins and Karen Rait came up with the white rose idea for the Grammys after learning show bosses had no plans to officially show their support for the Time's Up movement.
Kelly Clarkson, Camila Cabello, Pink, Lana Del Rey, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, and Miley Cyrus were among the stars who wore a rose or a similar white flower.
