The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer posted a photo of herself standing outside the Capitol on Wednesday morning before she was set to perform. The 51-year-old looked stunning in a black-and-white houndstooth coat and matching pants set from Chanel’s fall 2019 collection. She paired the chic look with a white ruffled button-up shirt accented with pearl earrings.
The superstar also paused to snap a selfie with members of the National Guard who were there to protect the incoming administration after the violent riots that rocked D.C. on January 6.
“What an honor to spend a few moments with these brave men and women,” she wrote. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I honor you today and everyday.❤️🤍💙 #inauguration2021.”

Earlier this week, Lopez’s fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, revealed that the singer was actually “nervous” about performing at the inauguration as she felt a heightened sense of “responsibility” regarding the event.
“It’s been a crazy year for her, so amazing, so many blessings. But to think in a span of 12 months, she’s done the Super Bowl, New Years [Eve] and now the inaugural, it’s unbelievable,” he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday.
