Lady Gagais opening up about the outfit she chose when she sang the national anthem at PresidentJoe Biden’sinaugurationin January.
“This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever worn,” Gaga said. “I wore this Schiaparelli design for the inauguration, and nobody knows this, but this is a bulletproof dress.”
Gaga fondly recalled the look’sgold dove brooch, featuring an olive branch in its beak, which she wore as a symbol of peace. “When I saw that golden dove, I just knew that this was the right piece,” she raved about the accessory.
“And I knew, Schiaparelli being an Italian fashion house, it was something that I really, really wanted to do for my heritage as an Italian-American woman that would be singing for President 45 to be leaving and to invite President 46 into office,” Gaga added.
TheChromaticaartist also reminisced about Marine Capt. Evan Campbell, whoescorted her to the microphone. “And I’ll never forget speaking to this young man that I was with,” she said. “He was asking me if I was nervous and I said yes. But sometimes, fashion can really give you wings… like a dove.”
