Historically, the Grammys’ red carpet boasts a parade of truly jaw-dropping fashion moments — remember that time in 2011 when Lady Gaga arrived in an egg? Or in 2000, when J.Lo wore a green, plunging Versace dress that’s so famous it has its own Wikipedia page?

But for the awards’ 60th anniversary, the music industry showed a softer sartorial side in the name of solidarity against sexual harassment. On the heels of the Golden Globes’ all-black dress code, artists arrived at Sunday’s Madison Square Garden red carpet armed with white roses to varying highly stylized degrees: Lady Gaga kicked it off, wearing a white rose and Time’s Up pin on the bodice of her black lace Armani Privé gown. The men — including Khalid and Sam Smith — tended to opt for classic boutonnieres for their suits (that silhouette was a big theme of the night for women, too). SZA — who sizzled in a sparkly and sheer Atelier Versace gown — carried her flower bouquet-style. And Lana Del Rey’s earth-angel getup, courtesy of Gucci, came complete with accessories that won the night: a starry headpiece and a white rose bracelet that resembled a retro corsage.

The ethereal vibe carried into the performances as well, with Lady Gaga’s feather-trimmed piano sporting actual wings. But things really took flight after Kendrick Lamar’s powerful, politically charged opening performance. After all, it’s still the Grammys: Bring on the heat.
