She’s also launched her own fashion line L.A.M.B.
Just check out how much her look has changed over her time in the spotlight!
The band would eventually go on to become one of the prominent ska bands in the 1980s and 1990s.
Stefani didn’t want to look or dress like the other popular female grunge lead singers at the time.
She considered them to be too angry and hardcore for her.
Stefani wanted to look sexy, and she took inspiration from iconic pop icon Blondie.
She explained, “I never felt really strong growing up.
… until I discovered Blondie.
Stefani has gone on record confirming that she only rocked cropped tanks at the beginning of her career.
“I pretty much only wore tank tops my whole life,” Stefani toldVogue.
“I don’t know why, I thought they looked cool.
I had to be a little bit tomboy with, like, a little bit of glamour.”
“That was just kind of the vibe for myself and what I always followed,” she said.
It definitely sounds like Stefani has been true to herself and her sense ofstylesince day one!
“His mom would come down the stairs ready to go to these Indian parties all dolled up.
I had never seen anything like it.”
It was actually Kanal’s mother who gave Stefani some of the bindis she wore in public.
In an interview withEntertainment Weekly,Stefani elaborated on her inspiration behind the head-turning look.
Spoiler alert: the inspiration isn’t as wild as you might think.
“It turned into a space-agey, Judy Jetson thing.
That’s exactly what inspired Gwen Stefani’s 1999 VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards red carpet look!
However, in 2019, Stefani did tellVoguethat a rough period in her life inspired the change.
“And I ended up with fuschia for, like, a year.”
She paired a red and white striped halter top with dark blue gauchos and high red leather boots.
It seems that the one 2000s trend that Stefani didn’t get into was frosted lip gloss.
She might have been on top of the trends, but she also knew what her tried-and-true tricks were!
We can’t imagine that being in a band with all guys helped either!
In 2002, she connected with stylist Andrea Lieberman for a music video.
“Every idea I had, she had taken it to a whole other level,” she said.
I didn’t grow up in New York.
I didn’t even know who Vivienne Westwood was.
I didn’t know any of that.”
Baby., for which the acronym is “L.A.M.B.”
Gwen Stefani launched her own fashion brand L.A.M.B.
in 2004
Gwen Stefani started her fashion line L.A.M.B.
“I’m not being treated like a celebrity wannabe fashion designer.
But even if I was, it doesn’t really matter because I’m doing this for me.”
It’s an extension of my personality.
I can’t explain why I like it, it’s just always been that way for me.”
Stefani took on the cheerleader nickname and made it her own!
According to a since-archived interview withStyle.com, Stefani wasobsessedwith the Hollywood starlet as a teen.
She also borrowed the often-colorful and theatrical Harajuku look for her own fashion line.
However, just because she changed her fashion doesn’t mean she gave up her old ways!
Does Blake Shelton help Gwen Stefani choose her looks for The Voice?
But, of course, the video was all a joke.
Still, who knows maybe Shelton will influence Stefani’s style one day!
