When
compiling a list of true trendsetters and fashionistas, no list would
be complete and thoroughly vetted without the inclusion of one Gwen Stefani. From her No Doubt days to a hugely successful solo career and now being a co-judge on NBC’s hit talent show, The Voice,
the adoration her fans (myself included) have for both her music and
fashion sense is unwavering. And the proof is in the pudding.
It seems Stefani has tried it all when it
comes to fashion: almost akin to making selections from a sartorial
buffet. During the early No Doubt days, her look was bright, bold and
attention grabbing. Who was the front woman with the turquoise
(sometimes pink) hair, braces and rhinestone bedecked eyebrows? The 90’s
was a time to experiment with looks, both garish and tame, and Stefani
definitely took advantage of the times. 
Transitioning
from bandmate to solo artist in the early 2000’s ushered in a wave of
new looks for the “Hollaback Girl” singer. Trading in her colored locks
and prominent lip liner for her signature platinum blonde mane and
ubiquitous red pout was just the beginning of her fashionable
transformation. From rocking midriff baring streetwear inspired pieces
from her L.A.M.B. line to becoming a muse for blue chip designers like
John Galliano, Stella McCartney, and Zuhair Murad and slaying red
carpets, Stefani’s wardrobe is vast and boasts some seriously killer
threads.
Even
when she dresses down, Stefani’s casual style is actually timeless.
Jeans, oversized sunglasses a loose fitting top or a cool sweatshirt
accompanied by sky high Louboutin heels or Giuseppe Zanotti sneakers,
depending on her mood, make for some pretty cool, effortless outfits for
daytime. 
Stefani epitomizes what it truly means for one’s style to
evolve and leaves us all waiting to see what she’ll experiment with
next. So here’s to you, Gwen! A talented artist, genuine fashionista
and fabulous designer who shows no signs of stopping.
What do you think of Gwen Stefani’s style evolution?
