Lady Gaga knows how to make a grand entrance, and she certainly did for the 2021 presidential inauguration.

The iconic singer powerfully made her presence known wearing a custom Schiaparelli haute couture look as she sang the national anthem into a gold microphone.

Her head-turning ensemble featured a fitted navy jacket, a voluminous red skirt and a gold dove brooch that signified peace.

Gaga wore her hair in a braided updo and rocked a striking bold red lipstick.

The singer's look was custom-designed by Schiaparelli's creative director Daniel Roseberry.

"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,"Roseberry said in a statement.

He continued, "Maison Schiaparelli is honored to have this chance to dress the iconic Lady Gaga on this historic Inauguration Day. God Bless Lady Gaga and God Bless America.”

Ahead of her Inauguration Day performance, Gaga shared a photo where she was seen in a caped look accompanied by a face mask.

"I pray tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans," she captioned the post. "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."
