MISSED THE MEMO?

Rihanna, Katie Holmes and Chrissy Teigen shock fans by not joining Time’s Up protest at Grammys

Nearly all of the stars wore a white rose to show their solidarity with the movement at tonight’s star-studded show

GRAMMYS viewers laid into stars including Rihanna, Katie Holmes and Chrissy Teigen after they appeared to snub the ceremony’s Time’s Up protest.

Most of the attendees at the star-studded event in New York last night chose to wear a white rose as a sign of solidarity with the movement.

Lady Gaga, James Corden, Rita Ora and Miley Cyrus were just some of the big names who showed their support for the campaign.

However some appeared to miss the memo and fans were quick to question why they weren’t wearing white roses.

Earlier this month Chrissy and her husband John Legend made a large donation to the campaign “on behalf of the heroic gymnasts of the USA Gymnastics Team”.

But some fans questioned why she hadn’t worn a corsage on the red carpet, with one viewer asking: “Chrissy Tiegen. Where is your white rose? So OVER you…”

Some fans said they were upset when they saw Rihanna wasn't wearing the symbolic corsage either

Another critic said of Rihanna: “Kind of surprised (disappointed) not to see a #whiterose on @rihanna just now.”

Before this year’s Grammys, hundreds of stars, including Pink, Fergie, Rita Ora and Zayn Malik, signed a letter released by Voices Of Entertainment which encouraged everyone to wear the symbolic flower.

The letter said they wanted to add “a heightened awareness of accountability that our sisters started on January 1st and continued through the Golden Globes and onward.”

It went on to say: “Inspired by the #TimesUp campaign, tonight we stand with our brothers and sisters in music in support of equal representation in the workplace.
