Lady Gaga almost upstaged the new president as she sported a spectacular black and red outfit complete with an over-sized gold dove ‘peace’ brooch to sing the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ to the A-list Inauguration Day crowd that included A-Rod and the Obamas. 

Gaga, 34, wore a custom-made silk couture gown with a billowing skirt and huge gold bird brooch, as she sang the National Anthem into a matching gold microphone on the steps of the Capitol just before midday Wednesday. 

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris looked on with their hands on their hearts as she sang to the accompaniment of the US Marine band ahead of them taking their oaths to serve the nation as president and vice president.

Gaga later explained her decision to wear a dove as a symbol of peace on Twitter: ‘A dove carrying an olive branch. May we all make peace with each other.’ 

The brooch was custom-made by Schiaparelli to go with the outfit but drew comparisons online to the Mockingjay pin worn in the Hunger Games. 

Gaga’s emotional performance came moments before Harris was sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor – the first Latina Supreme Court Justice – to become the first woman, person of color and Indian American to serve as vice president of the United States.  

J-Lo then took to the stage where she wowed the crowd by adding lines from her song ‘Let’s get loud’ into her version of ‘America the beautiful’, before Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States.

Dressed head to toe in white Chanel with Jimmy Choo Max platforms, the 51-year-old singer performed a unique medley of ‘This Land Is Your Land’ and ‘America the Beautiful’ where she threw in a ‘Let’s Get Loud’ moment and a message to the American public in Spanish.

‘One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,’ she said in Spanish.  

Country music star Garth Brooks then took to the stage to perform ‘Amazing Grace’ after Biden took his oath and delivered his first address to the American people as president where he promised that ‘my whole soul is in this: bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation.’

Former presidents, sports stars and iconic singers descended on Washington DC Wednesday to be part of the historic moment and dozens more including Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry will join the evening celebration called ‘Celebrating America’.

The inauguration was dramatically scaled back due to the coronavirus pandemic and the January 6 attack on the Capitol, with only around 1,000 attendees – down from the typical numbers of around 200,000. 

But while the absence of large crowds is a marked difference from Trump’s inauguration, Wednesday’s line-up of big names is another – as many stars had turned down an offer of an invite or the chance to perform at the 2017 occasion.     

Earlier in the morning, Chrissy Teigen played spot-the A-lister from her apartment window as she got ready for inauguration day celebrations after vowing that ‘today marks the end of ‘our great national f**k-up’. 

‘Good morning it is me reporting live from my window sill bringing you all of the hot action, the riveting energy that is encompassing… okay nothing is happening but I am up early, I’ve been up for hours now,’ Teigen said in an Instagram story where she was seen with her hair in a towel looking out of her window toward the Capitol.

‘I have been up for hours now as I am kike a kid on Christmas Day. But a kid on Christmas who is stuck in a bubble right next to a Christmas tree.’

In a follow-up story, Teigen shared footage of the back of J-Lo and A-Rod walking toward the Capitol as she played at being a news reporter and said in a voiceover: ‘Breaking news, breaking news. It is J-lo and A-Rod. Oh finally I have got you something.’ 

Teigen later revealed they were staying inside during the inauguration until ‘we get our results’ ahead of her husband John Legend’s performance in the evening celebrations. 

Dozens of celebrities arrived for inauguration day celebrations joining Lady Gaga who called ‘for a day of peace’ and J-Lo who posed with National Guard troops during Tuesday’s dress rehearsals ahead of their performances. 

Ex-Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez – and J-Lo’s partner – was pictured at the West Front of the US Capitol earlier Wednesday morning where he was seen taking photos on his smartphone and chatting to other attendees. 

The former New York Yankee posted a selfie on Twitter of himself standing in front of the Capitol steps where Biden and Harris will take their oaths. 

He captioned the tweet ‘#inauguration2021’. 

He was later seen proudly hugging his fiance J-Lo as they left the Capitol following her performance. 

Garth Brooks was seen heading from his nearby hotel to the inauguration Wednesday morning after he confirmed Monday that he would join the star line-up. 

Brooks, who also performed during former President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009 and turned down a chance to play Trump’s, sported a cowboy hat and face mask as he prepared to take the stage. 

Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama arrived at the Capitol around 10 am Wednesday to watch Obama’s former vice president take office as president. 

They both sported black face masks while Michelle wore a plum suit by Sergio Hudson as they headed into the grounds.  

In a follow-up Instagram story, Teigen later showed more scenes out of the window while sitting in a dressing gown. 

She said she was reporting ‘on the weather’ and showed people outside with a big banner. It was not clear what was on the banner but Teigen said she thought she saw the word ‘jail’.

In another video she announced that ‘John has decided to join’ as she showed the singer sitting on the floor watching the television. 

‘It’s happening,’ she whispered as she showed Biden walking into the Capitol on the television screen in their room.  

Gaga tweeted earlier Wednesday that it would be an ‘honor’ to sing the National Anthem during the ceremony. 

‘Singing our National Anthem for the American People is my honor. I will sing during a ceremony, a transition, a moment of change—between POTUS 45 and 46. For me, this has great meaning,’ she tweeted.

‘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. Respectfully and kindly, Lady Gaga.’ 

On Tuesday Gaga said inauguration day is a ‘day for dreaming of our future joy as a country’ in an emotional social media post. 

She shared a snap of herself standing inside the grand dome of the Capitol while dressed in a white outfit and cape with her hair swept back in a dramatic updo as she urged for ‘peace’.

‘I pray tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans,’ she wrote. 

‘A day for love, not hatred. A day for acceptance not fear. A day for dreaming of our future joy as a country. 

‘A dream that is non-violent, a dream that provides safety for our souls. Love, from the Capitol.’   

She and J-Lo were both seen at the Capitol on Tuesday running through dress rehearsals and speaking to members of the National Guard. 

J-Lo posted a selfie Tuesday with members of the National Guard on her social media as she said it was ‘an honor’ to spend some time with ‘these brave men and women’.     

‘What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice,’ she posted. 

‘I honor you today and everyday. Tomorrow I sing for you and all Americans.’

The video showed six national guardsmen and the singer posing together in their face masks with some giving a thumbs-up to the camera. 

J-Lo was running through a dress rehearsal for Wednesday’s celebrations singing on the steps of the Capitol.  

Trump left the White House for the last time Wednesday giving a speech where he vowed ‘we will be back – in some form’ before flying off on Air Force One to Mar-a-Lago – not long before Biden and Harris arrived at the Capitol.  

Inauguration Day promises to be a star-studded affair from start to finish with performances by many stars throughout the day. 

In the evening, Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks will host a primetime special, with actresses Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington also set to introduce segments, including one called ‘stories of young people making a difference in their communities.’

A swath of musical performers are also slated to take center stage. Among them is rock legend Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, Foo Fighters, Demi Lovato, Ant Clemons, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard.     

According to the inaugural committee, each of the artists will perform from ‘iconic locations across the country’. 

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were spotted Tuesday night in DC ahead of the event where Perry will perform.  

The pop star also tweeted a photo of some patriotic microphones with one adorned in stars and stripes and another like the torch held aloft by the Statue of Liberty over New York.  

The evening special is due to last 90 minutes and will be available to watch on numerous networks and cable TV channels, including NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, and MSNBC. It will also be streamed live on the committee’s YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Twitch pages. 

In Biden’s home state of Pennsylvania, soul jazz trombonist and hip-hop funk icon Jeff Bradshaw and rock and roll band Low Cut Connie will be performing in the afternoon.       

Teigen traveled to Washington D.C. Tuesday with her husband John Legend, 41, ahead of his performance Wednesday.  

In a social media post Tuesday night the model, 34, warned that ‘history will not be kind’ to ‘absolute psychopath’ Trump as she said inauguration day marks the end of ‘our great national f**k-up’ but warned ‘the shame will last forever’.   

Posting a picture of herself wearing a face mask in front of the Washington Monument to Instagram, the model shared an impassioned message.

Chrissy penned: ‘Our great national f**k-up is over, but the shame will last forever. 

‘With 2 impeachments, the creation of 3 million LESS jobs, 403,000 dead, a record low approval rating and god knows how many crimes, we can officially say Donald J Trump is the greatest at being the f**king worst. 

‘Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to have the guy with barely enough well done steak with ketchup fueled brainpower to power a lightbulb who doesn’t even know how to close an umbrella run the country.’

Chrissy signed off her impassioned post with: ‘History will not be kind to you, you absolute psychopath. But I never was anyhow.’   

Teigen has long been an outspoken adversary of Trump and found herself in a Twitter war with the outgoing president in 2019 where he referred to her and husband John as a ‘boring musician’ and ‘his filthy mouthed wife’. 

Earlier this month, the Sports Illustrated led a slew of celebrities celebrating Trump’s permanent suspension from Twitter after his supporters rioted through the United States Capitol. 

‘AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH,’ wrote Chrissy, who was previously blocked by Trump on Twitter.  

In a past interview, the model even admitted to taking ‘pride’ in her ‘ trolling’ of the US President.   

She said: ‘I’ve actually been a big Donald Trump hater for a long time. If you go back, I’ve been trolling him for about five to seven years now. I’ve been doing this forever and I take pride in that.

‘I can’t believe somebody could actually do this all day, every day, and still be president. It’s insane.’

Elsewhere, Chrissy also revealed on her Instagram that she had been ‘scolded’ for sharing too much information ahead of Biden’s inauguration later on Wednesday.

The model has travelled to Washington, D.C., with her husband John, their two children Luna, four, and Miles, two, and her mother Vilailuck Teigen.   

Chrissy posted several behind-the-scenes snaps and videos ahead of husband John’s performance on TV special, Celebrating America. 

Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday night, Chrissy admitted that she had been ‘scolded’ for sharing too much information and told her fans to ‘act surprised’.

She said: ‘I got in trouble for sharing too much so act surprised tomorrow and don’t tell your friends.’

Chrissy also tweeted: ‘LMAO apparently that was all supposed to be a secret and I got scolded so act surprised tomorrow I’m crying.’

The star had shared several clips of John rehearsing surrounded by military members and posted pictures of herself posing with the National Guard at the Capitol.

Obviously the reprimand was not harsh because Chrissy did not remove the video or updates from her social media.

The star also hit back at critics who complained about the family’s in-person inauguration attendance and the fact John isn’t performing virtually amid the pandemic. 

There is also heightened security in the city due to the recent riots at the United States Capitol, which have made the city nearly impossible to navigate for local residents.  

Chrissy hit back with: ‘For f**ks sake why are you guys always always mad at me, all I wanna do is make you happy or at least leave you with a neutral feeling of indifference.

Chrissy also reminded those upset at D.C.’s current lockdown restrictions that it is not directly her fault, but that she feels their frustration during such a volatile time.

‘This is not my fault but I’m sorry you’re frustrated. I just like to share what we are up to and whatnot,’ she explained.

John will perform on TV special, Celebrating America, which will commemorate the inauguration of Biden and vice-president Kamala Harris.

Eva Longoria and Little Fires Everywhere actress Kerry Washington will also be involved in the 90-minute show hosted by Tom Hanks.

Other stars included in the line-up are Demi Lovato, Jon Bon Jovi and Justin Timberlake.

‘Your success is the country’s success’: Arnold Schwarzenegger leads the Biden love-fest as Oprah, Jennifer Aniston and Ariana Grande all gush over Team Joe and Kamala

‘God bless America,’ Gigi Hadid wrote across a photo of the transition of power between Mike Pence and Vice President Kamala Harris, a ceremonial departure usually reserved for the president, but Donald Trump did not participate in inauguration day events. 

‘& respect to the Pence’s for doing the right, mature, and democratic thing today, like adults,’ she added.

Taking a stylish cue from J.Lo, Kourtney Kardashian shared a stunning shot of herself in a plunging white jumpsuit. 

‘Today we celebrate our first female Vice President and the 144 Women elected to Congress (on both sides of the aisle) a 50% increase from a decade ago. Today is not about politics or political parties, it is about female empowerment, breaking that glass ceiling, and women powerfully supporting one another,’ the reality star wrote on Instagram. 

She continued: ‘We wear white In Solidarity with these incredible changemakers, many are the first, but together we will make sure they are not the last. Kids will never know a world where a woman wasn’t Vice President.’  

Amy Schumer also uploaded a selfie of herself shooting a peace sign at the camera, while wearing a grey sweater, which read: ‘Bye Don.’  

Additionally, she reflected on a moment with Lady Gaga ‘four years ago’ on the ‘heart breaking night’ former President Donald Trump officially took office.  

Mindy Kaling shared a snap of her three-year-old daughter, Katherine, watching the inauguration from home. 

‘I was at work, but apparently she said: ‘Is that mommy? It looks like mommy.’ Best compliment I ever got! It matters. Happy Inauguration everyone,’ she captioned the snap of her little girl, who mistook her for Kamala Harris. 

‘Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning’ Psalms 30:5 Tears of joy and prayers for our nation and the entire world,’ Mariah Carey tweeted with a red heart emoji. 

Meanwhile, Cindy Crawford shared a quote from 22-year-old poet Amanda Gorman’s speech, which read: ‘For there is always light / If only we’re brave enough to see it / If only we’re brave enough to be it.’ 

‘On the day of a new administration, praying for our beautiful and imperfect country,’ the 54-year-old supermodel wrote on her Instagram.  

Chrissy Teigen posted updates from a hotel room in  Washington, D.C., of herself in a fluffy white bath robe as she and her husband John Legend watched the festivities from TV. 

She was particularly excited during Lady Gaga’s performance and when Biden appeared, just hours after she posted about ‘our great national f**kup’ coming to an end. 

‘The shame will last forever,’ she said of Trump’s presidency. ‘With 2 impeachments, the creation of 3 million LESS jobs, 403,000 dead, a record low approval rating and god knows how many crimes, we can officially say Donald J Trump is the greatest at being the f**king worst.’

She continued: ‘Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to have the guy with barely enough well done steak with ketchup fueled brainpower to power a lightbulb who doesn’t even know how to close an umbrella run the country.’ 

Reese Witherspoon also jumped on Instagram, after watching history unfold, calling the events ‘an incredible moment for us all to witness!’

‘It made me emotional to see so many former Presidents and First Ladies showing up to welcome our new leaders @joebiden and @kamalaharris to our highest office. While the division in our country is still painfully real, I am optimistic that this is a moment of recommitment to each other. A commitment to becoming a UNITED states again.

‘Such a huge moment for women of all ages, but especially for young people,’ she captioned a throwback photo of the politician. ‘we also watched @amandascgorman – the youngest inaugural poet in history.’

Andy Cohen uploaded an image of himself and his son one-year-old son Benjamin holding hands as they watched Biden speak with the caption, ‘The Future.’
