Lady Gaga of Princess Leia? The artist will sing the national anthem on Elected President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Wednesday and Tuesday, her dramatic white outfit, hood and elegant update kept some people in mind with the Star Wars heroine. In a photo shared on social media, the singer was hoping for a peaceful ceremony.
“I pray tomorrow will be a day of peace for all Americans,” she wrote. “A day for love, not hate.” A day for acceptance and not fear. A day to dream of our future joy as a country. ” A dream that is not violent, a dream that provides security for our souls. Love, from the Capitol. “
The Star Wars comparisons showed up quickly.
“Why does Lady Gaga give me a strong Star Wars energy with the (national) guard?” wrote one Twitter user and later added: “The Force is strong with this one.” Another called her ‘Princess Slaya’.
Here to protect Americans!

‘The ion cannon can fire several shots to make sure any enemy ships will be off your runway. Go directly to the meeting point when you have passed the energy screen. Understand? Strength.”

Some have done a bit of computer editing to make Gaga’s photos look even more like they were taken far, far away in a galaxy. “Star Wars: Lady Gaga / The Fempire Strikes Back”, wrote one.
And some thought her outfit looked like a costume from another pop culture saga, namely The Hunger Games.
“This is literally the first thing that came to my mind,” wrote one Twitter user. “All the incidents in the Capitol recently made me look at the Hunger Games series again.”
This is literally the first thing that came to my mind. 😂 all the walking in the capital recently made me look again at the series of hungry games 🤷🏼♀️

Gaga’s white outfit pays homage to the suffragettes who fought for women’s right to vote, and regularly wears white outfits in processions.
