Lady Gaga sparks outrage on Twitter by wearing 'Nazi-inspired' jacket to Hillary Clinton's final rally before it's revealed the outfit once belonged to Michael Jackson 

The striking military-style jacket that Lady Gaga wore to Hillary Clinton’s final rally in North Carolina on the eve of the election sent Twitter into overdrive, with many users likening the black-and-red outfit to a Nazi uniform.

But as it turns out, the unusual garment was not an homage to the Fuhrer, but rather to the King of Pop.

The Born This Way singer took the stage in suburban Raleigh on Monday night to perform for a cheering crowd of Clinton supporters and to endorse the Democrat for president of the United States.

The musician's unusual sartorial choice at the event, consisting of a black jacket with a bright-red arm band and cuffs, accessorized with a glittering diamond broach, immediately sparked outrage on social media.

'Lady Gaga is dressed Literally like a Nazi...literally God help us if these ppl win,' one tweet read.

Another user wondered: 'How does no one in the Clinton campaign stop Lady Gaga from wearing a Nazi looking outfit??'

A third user commented: ‘Ummmm what is Lady Gaga wearing? It's a little Nazi-esque.’

Conservative writer Stephen Gutowski wrote in the same vein: 'Lady Gaga, dressed as some sort of futuristic Nazi, is speaking at a Clinton rally as the first votes are cast.'

The jacket came from a collection of clothing belonging to Jackson, which Gaga purchased at an auction along with other memorabilia back in 2012

Some Twitter users were not satisfied and contuinuing poking fun at Gaga for donning Jackson's garment

Amid the percolating anger and bewilderment, it quickly emerged that the singer’s jacket came from a collection of clothing belonging to Michael Jackson, which she purchased at an auction along with other memorabilia back in 2012, reported the Huffington Post.

The late singer famously wore that jacket, paired with matching pants and a red belt, when he visited the White House to meet with then-President George H.W. Bush in 1990.

While Lady Gaga did not directly address the brouhaha sparked by her attire, she retweeted a post showing side-by-side images of herself at the Clinton rally Monday alongside a photo of Jackson at the White House.  

With just hours to go until the nation headed out to cast their vote, the 30-year-old Lady Gagar ensured she put on a rousing display for Clinton's supporters as she belted out her greatest hits.

She's known for her wacky and wonderful fashion choices, wearing everything from meat dresses to bubble bodysuits and attending a rally for Hilary Clinton this week was no exception.

Lady Gaga channeled Michael Jackson for the occasion, wearing a jacket worn by him to the White House back in 1990 that Gaga purchased, along with 54 other items belonging to Jackson at an auction in 2012.

She teamed the military jacket with a pair of black skinny jeans and some Saint Laurent studded boots that instantly caught our eye! We love the embellished design which elevates these classic ankle booties, making them a great piece to update our AW16 wardrobe with.
