Sometimes, even a small accessory can carry greater significance in fashion. On the Grammys 2026 red carpet, celebrities wore “ICE OUT” pins to do just that.

Both Justin Bieber, nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, and wife, Hailey Bieber, wore the pin, as well as Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas. Kehlani also wore the accessory and used her acceptance speech for Best R&B Performance during the Grammys pre-show to declare, “F*ck ICE.”

Several other stars used their platform at the Grammys to voice their opposition to ICE, the US government agency responsible for removal operations against immigrants who are deemed to be in the country illegally. In his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album, Bad Bunny said, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ICE out.”

He continued, “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we’re humans and we are Americans … The only thing more powerful than hate is love so please we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them, we love our people, we love our families and that’s the way to do it, we love.”

Over the past month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been deployed in large numbers across the country, particularly in Minneapolis. On 20 January, five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was detained by ICE. Just four days later, Alex Pretti was shot and killed by an ICE officer. As a symbol of protest, stars like Helen J. Shen, Kehlani, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Billie Eilish, and Finneas stepped out on the Grammys 2026 red carpet wearing “ICE OUT,” literally wearing their values. Bad Bunny took it a step further by saying it during his speech while accepting the award for the best música urbana album.

The pins are somewhat of a staple this awards season and were first spotted at the Golden Globes 2026. According to a press release circulated to journalists ahead of the Golden Globes red carpet, the pins are a part of an ACLU-endorsed campaign organised by “a coalition of entertainment industry professionals,” with support from Maremoto, MoveOn, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Working Families Power.

At the Golden Globes, celebrities also wore “Be Good” pins as part of a coordinated action following the death of Renée Macklin Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother, poet, and writer who was shot and killed by ICE. The news sparked vigils and demonstrations in cities across the country, as communities mourned her loss and grappled with the violent circumstances of her death. Organisers say the phrase “Be Good” is meant to serve as a reminder of “what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror — to be a good citizen, neighbour, friend, ally, and human,” per the press release.

These pins also honour Keith Porter Jr., another victim. The 43-year-old man killed by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles shortly after New Year’s Eve.

So, a pin may be small, but under the gaze of social media and camera flashes, it becomes impossible to miss.
