Celebrities are preparing to take part in Joe Biden's presidential inauguration on Wednesday - and they're doing so in style.

Lady Gaga arrived in Washington, DC, on Tuesday wearing an all-white outfit that could be a nod to female politicians, and Jennifer Lopez brought patriotic accessories with her to a sound check ahead of her inauguration performance. Chrissy Teigen also shared photos that show her posing with National Guard troops.

From capes to monochromatic suits, here's a look at what celebrities wore ahead of the historic event.

Lady Gaga wore a white cape and braided hairstyle ahead of Biden's inauguration

Her cape-style coat, designed by Givenchy, was styled over a white turtleneck and beige pants. The musician also wore a custom pair of Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels, a $45 face mask from Michael Ngo, and a Givenchy link necklace. Her hair, on the other hand, was styled in a crown-style braid that showed blonde and black strands.

Lady Gaga shared a photo of herself wearing the all-white outfit at the Capitol on Instagram, and included a message about the inauguration.

"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 "

Her outfit may have been inspired by female politicians, who have historically worn all-white ensembles in honor of the women's suffrage movement.

As InStyle reported, many have also compared Lady Gaga's outfit and braids to the "Star Wars" character Princess Leia, a leader of the Rebel Alliance that worked against tyranny.

Jennifer Lopez opted for red, white, and blue accessories

Before arriving in Washington, DC, for her inauguration performance, Lopez shared a photo of herself standing in front of a plane while wearing a monochromatic outfit designed by Alberta Ferretti. It included a gray blouse, ankle-length coat, and pants that transitioned seamlessly into slouchy boots.

Lopez also wore a gray fedora and brown sunglasses.

She later switched into a black-and-white houndstooth jacket while posing with National Guard troops.

"What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women," Lopez wrote. "Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and everyday. Tomorrow I sing for you and all Americans."

It was the musician's accessories, however, that honored Biden. On her Instagram story, Lopez shared a photo of one of her signature bedazzled cups, this time covered in red, white, and blue crystals.

The cup said "Presidential Inauguration" above the date of the event, and featured a bedazzled version of the White House. Also in her photo was an array of patriotic desserts, including a strawberry covered in red, white, and blue sprinkles, and a White House replica made from white chocolate.
