Red lips, platinum blonde hair and bold prints - that’s Gwen Stefani’s signature style. The musician and designer’s rocker-meets-school-girl look, which ranges from bright plaids to fitted leopard-print dresses to black-and-white stripes, has eveolved into serious glamour. “The L.A.M.B girl is me,” says Stefani, speaking of her clothing and accessories line, an acronym of “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.” Interpretation: The pieces are meant for someone individual, chic and always experimenting.

Gwen’s baby weight panic

When Gwen Stefani was carrying her son Zuma, she gained an estimated 45 pounds - and often joked to friends that she was “huge.” But insiders tell InTouch that the pop star’s jabs at herself were no laughing matter. “Gwen was very insecure during her pregnancy with Zuma. She thought she wasn’t sexy,” reveals an insider. “She would look at pictures in magazines and comment on how skinny other women were. Being pregnant was a blessing, but it also was very hard to let her body go.”

Gwen’s husband, Gavin Rossdale, 40, admitted recently that she feels pressure to get her sexy body back. “It’s very hard because everyone’s so judged,” he said. Read the rest of this article »

“You ready to take your baby home?” Gwen Stefani asked her 2-year-old son, Kingston. The singer, in a long black robe and her hair in a ponytail, and her husband Gavin Rossdale were rolling their new baby boy in a bassinet out of the nursery of LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center August 24. Kingston seemed more than ready to assume his new role as big brother to Zuma Nesta Rock, who had arrived three days earlier, referring to the newborn as “my baby.” Read the rest of this article »

Gwen Stefani talks babies

As their happy family grows to four with the birth of Zuma Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale share their thoughts on parenthood and marriage.

Gwen Stefani and her rock star husband Gavin Rossdale were the picture of contentment as they brought baby Zuma Nesta Rock back to their Los Angeles home last week after his birth at the Cedar Sinai Medical Center.

The new arrival, whose unusual first name is thought to be inspired by a beach near their home, is a brother for two-year-old Kingston. It means the 38-year-old pop star has to meet the demands of two small children at the same time as recovering from a Cesarean, but Gwen insists she’s happier than ever. Motherhood, she says, is “one of the most incredible events in my life”. Read the rest of this article »

Superstar Stefani

Gwen’s our fave fashion and pop icon and all-round quirky chick - No Doubt about it!

Hi there, Gwen! Good to catch up with you - how are you doing?
“I’m great, thanks!”

Gwenopolis

Having just come off a world tour promoting her record-breaking solo career and right before she steps into the studio with her old cohorts No Doubt, singer Gwen Stefani is flying too fast and bright to slow down. It’s safe to say that Stefani has become one of the gods of today’s pop music world, with plenty of devoted followers. Welcome to Gwenopolis.

A few days before I’m supposed to meet Gwen Stefani in Los Angeles for this interview, I just happen to run into her in a Virgin Megastore. Not surprisingly, Gwen is striking-movie-star blonde, impossibly big brown eyes, impeccable style. She also happens to be standing in a clear plastic box and is approximately 12″ tall. It’s the “Hollaback Gwen” doll, a fascinating (and, in this case, adorable) barometer of fame. It’s one thing to acquire international pop-star status, your own fashion empire, a level of wealth unimaginable to most humans, and what appears to be an enviable level of domestic bliss (right after this interview took place, Stefani indeed became pregnant with a second child). It’s quite another to actually see yourself immortalized in toy form. Read the rest of this article »

The Reign of Cool

Gwen Stefani talks to Emma Sloley about making fashion in the fast lane.

The court of Gwen Stefani, it has to be said, is not unlike that of a modern-day Marie Antoinette. There are the loyal subjects to consider, stylish types of all fashion bustling around in a controlled frenzy of organizing and delegating. Instead of ladies in-waiting holding fans or champagne glasses, her crew is clutching clipboards and iPhones. There is the room itself, a magnificent high-ceilinged atelier tricked out in black-and-white-striped upholstery, mirrored walls and banquettes running the length of the picture windows (the head quarters for Stefani’s fashion line, L.A.M.B, in New York’s SoHo). And there is Stefani, resplendent amid the chaos in her signature sartorial finery: platinum-blond hair swept back in a slick, immovable ponytail, huge false eyelashes, poppy-red lips and an immaculate all-black outfit, with the pièce de résistance being a pair of towering black and white checkerboard heels. The requisite bling shows up as a diamond necklace spelling out “Stefani,” which swings around her neck. The scene comes complete with an heir apparent, the aptly named Kingston, who runs in at one point to test out his new throne, a black-and-white-striped mini-chair that his mother had made just for him.
