JLo, Gaga stun on Biden’s first day

The occasion offered Washington D.C a fashion moment that hasn’t been seen since the Obama era, with Lopez sporting a long Chanel winter coat teamed with a pair of sparkly wide-legged trousers and a ruffled blouse, and a baret – in a subtle nod to her Jenny From The Block era.The 51-year-old’s Chanel ensemble featured in the luxury label’s fall-winter 2020/21 ready-to-wear collection, the brand said in a statement. Lady Gaga led the way in a billowing Schiaparelli ball gown and dove-shaped gold pin, which was compared to a costume from The Hunger Games, as she belted out a rendition of the US national anthem.Gaga’s long-sleeved outfit featured a fitted navy drop-waist bodice with a demure mock neck collar, a look completed with a voluminous scarlet skirt that ensured she kept her COVID-friendly distance.

“My intention is to acknowledge our past, be healing for our present, and passionate for a future where we work together lovingly. I will sing to the hearts of all people who live on this land,” Gaga tweeted ahead of her performance.Daniel Roseberry, the Schiaparelli designer behind the dress, said in a statement to The New York Times that “as an American living in Paris, this ensemble is a love letter to the country I miss so dearly and to a performer whose artistry I have so long admired.”Following Gaga’s rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner, Lopez took the stage performing Woody Guthrie’s classic This Land Is Your Land.

Bronx-raised with Puerto Rican roots, Lopez finished with America The Beautiful, adding in a line from the national Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish: “Con libertad y justicia para todos” (”With liberty and justice for all”).Sporting a white pants suit ensemble with a ruffle collar, Lopez also shouted “Let’s get loud!” during her performance, a nod to her turn-of-the-millennium signature hit.Garth Brooks, in a black jacket and cowboy hat with baggy blue jeans, sang Amazing Grace. And the youngest inaugural poet ever, Amanda Gorman, wore a sleek canary yellow coat, gold hoop earrings and a bright red headband to recite her moving work The Hill We Climb.

Lady Gaga performed the US National Anthem at the Inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Later, Oscar-winner Tom Hanks hosted a televised concert which was opened by Bruce Springsteen and featured Jon Bon Jovi – who performed The Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun – Justin Timberlake, John Legend and The Foo Fighters.Hollywood stars including Eva Longoria, John Krasinski and Kerry Washington, who were high-profile supporters of Biden during the 2020 election campaign, also appeared in the stirring virtual event, which celebrated American achievements and called for unity.
