Beauty Icon: Gwen Stefani
When we mention Gwen Stefani, whats the first thing that comes to mind? Say it with us, red lips! How does she seem to pull it off everywhere from a strut down the red carpet to a trip to the grocery store? We all recognize Gwens bold choices in lip color, but lets take a peek at some other notable beauty choices throughout the years.
By Lauren Hurley
Platinum Party Girl
Gwen is the life of the party at a 1997 Grammy Awards show with a burgundy pout, perfect porcelain skin, and an edgy platinum look. BTW, that isnt a beauty mark or zit. Gwen used to rock a Bindi back in the day.
Standing Out
Never the wallflower, Gwen stepped out to the 5th Annual Race to Erase MS Gala in 1997 with tiny twisted buns and her signature jewel bindi.
Dipped in Ink
When Gwen said low lights she really meant it! At a 1999 Hollywood movie premiere, the singer shows off some seriously two-toned tresses.
Early Punk Rock
If anyone can pull off a hot pink do, its Ms. Stefani No Doubt! Gwen hit a Hollywood music awards show in 99 and wowed the cameras with her magenta mane.
Ahoy Matey
At the 2000 VH1 Music Awards, Gwen offers us a nautical take on rock glam with a bedazzled powder blue sailor hat and 80s inspired eye shadow to match.
Girlie Glam
We heart Gwen and the cheerleader-esque ponytail she sported at a 2001 Def Jam party. Paired with neutral eyes and bold, plum lips, this look is one of our faves!
What A Tease
The star flaunts a seriously high bouffant with a slicked back ponytail at a 2002 Grammy party. And look, no lipstick on her teeth!
Blonde Ambition
At the 2003 Billboard Music Awards, the singer shows us a Madonna-inspired, loosely crimped coif.
Va-Va Vintage
It may have been 2004 when this shot was snapped, but you couldve fooled us with this retro look. Here we see Gwen channeling the eternal style icon, Marilyn Monroe, at an Oscars party.
Sexy Senorita
At the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, Gwen steps out with a curly updo, a perfect red pout, and a flower to match. Muy caliente!
The (Hair) Force Is with Her
Gwen made quite the statement at the 2004 MTV European Music Awards playing up her hair with these flower-adorned Princess Leia buns.
Klingon Goes Chic?
Never the conventional type, it doesnt surprise us that fashion-forward Gwen steps out to the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with a futuristic take on the classic French braid. Beam her up, Scotty!
Pretty in Pink
Were not used to seeing Gwen without her signature red lips we hardly recognize her here in 2005 at a visit to MTVs TRL! Further proof that this Orange County Girl can really rock it all.
Heat Wave
In a rare moment, Gwen shows us her ability to pull off neutral makeup and soft curls at a 2007 Music Awards show yet somehow manages not to look like every other Hollywood starlet.
Lady in Red
Women across the globe have tried to mimic this statement-making pout. Gwen works the red carpet at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar party with her seemingly effortless cherry-red lips and glamorous chignon.
