If you tuned in to Sunday night’s 2018 Grammy Awards expecting to see a formidable fashion freak-show, like many years past, you were probably left unfulfilled and quite disappointed. The evening, as well as the evening’s fashion choices took on a more “classed-up” feel and less rock n’ roll wild child. The unifying symbol of choice for the evening, a simple white rose symbolizing hope, peace, sympathy and resistance, was proudly worn by both men and women wanting to show their solidarity for the socially charged issue of inequality, accountability and sexually harrasment.  Actually, if you squinted, and tilted your head slightly to the right, one might have thought you were at the People’s Choice, Screen Actors Guild, or Golden Globes all over again. Is this a good thing for red carpet dressing; the jury’s still out. Regardless of how you feel about it, the message was received loud and clear; Grow Up, Show Up,….#TIMESUP !
