At 55, Gwen Stefani is almost wrinkle-free and shows off her glamorous styling. Her fans on Instagram are thrilled, but some of them occasionally wish she could go back to her old style from the 90s. STYLEBOOK takes a visual journey through time with Gwen Stefani.
Gwen Stefani celebrated her 55th birthday a few weeks ago, but if her fans are anything to go by, the mother of three has hardly changed in almost 30 years, at least visually. She was showered with compliments on social networks.
(Almost) All Fans Are Delighted with Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani currently occupies the coach’s chair on the American version of The Voice and posted a celebratory photo on Instagram for the finale. The unanimous message in the comments under the photo is clear: Gwen looks incredible. Many think that she hasn’t aged a day in the last few years, and the comments read: “You look 21. Wow.” Or simply: “Speechless” or “Timeless”. One person wants to know: “Are you aging at all?”
However, the singer receives numerous similar comments not only under this photo but also under almost all posts. However, the few negative voices are not long coming either, with one Instagram user saying: “Is every 55-year-old expected to look 30 now?”
Years of Speculation
At 55 years old, Gwen Stefani’s face is nearly devoid of wrinkles. Of course, speculation also arises. It has been rumored for years that she has had a little help here and there. Two years ago, after an appearance on Seth Meyers’ late-night show, the singer also appeared to have a very firm face and fuller lips than she is known for. At the time, people posted on Instagram: “She doesn’t look like Gwen Stefani as I remember her” or “Please age gracefully; you are a beautiful woman.”

This is What Gwen Stefani Used to Look Like
Gwen Stefani celebrated her breakthrough as the frontwoman of the rock band No Doubt in 1996 when she was 27 years old. Her style at the time was grunge. Her trademark: thinly plucked eyebrows and rhinestones on her face. Even back then, she opted for platinum blonde hair but was quite willing to experiment with the length. She has worn a wide variety of hairstyles, from micro pony to pixie cut.
The early 2000s saw a change in her musical image. Gwen Stefani took off as a solo artist and focused more on pop, R&B, and hip-hop. Her collaboration with rapper Eve on the single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” earned her a Grammy. However, she not only changed her style musically but also visually. Her hair became longer, and at times, Stefani wore a Marilyn Monroe hairstyle. Her clothing style was also less wild from then on but still unusual.
In 2003, she founded her own fashion line, L.A.M.B., and presented it at New York Fashion Week. Sitting in the front row, right next to her husband, Gavin Rossdale, was none other than Vogue boss Anna Wintour.
Gwen Stefani now embraces haute couture, impeccable styling, and grand appearances, as recently showcased on The Voice. Yet, some fans yearn for her earlier persona, with comments expressing: “I miss her punk style.”
