Are You Loving Gwen Stefani’s Studded Jumpsuit?

Gwen Stefani is one of the few celebrities who can pull off just about any look. Peep-toe booties at the grocery store? Sure! Head-to-toe plaid? Totally!

But one of the singer’s recent looks had us a bit stuck. At the Hollywood premiere of Angelina Jolie‘s In the Land of Blood and Honey last month, Stefani showed up wearing a grommet-adorned jumper, stacked wedges and a front bun.

We worship the ground the No Doubt singer walks on, but we’re not sure we can really get on board with the jumpsuit — perhaps a bit more reminiscent of skydiving gear than high style.

What do you think? Tell us: Are you loving Stefani’s jumpsuit?

Gwen Stefani on Her Trademark Look and Sons’ ‘Horrifying’ Fashion Choices

Gwen Stefani admits it: It’s not easy to look like her.

“The makeup goes on every day,” she confesses in the November issue of InStyle. “Even if I’m not going anywhere.”

The Old Hollywood look is inspired by a mix of muses including Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe — “I do my roots as often as [she] did hers” — as well as figuring out what worked at an early age. “When I was 17, my grandmother got me a gift pack with all these different colored lipsticks, and one of them was burgundy,” she tells the mag. “I tried it on and looked in the rear-view mirror and said, ‘That looks good.’ I’ve worn it ever since.”

Being married to a rock star is an added incentive; she often dresses to impress hubby Gavin Rossdale. “It was like my own runway. I thought, ‘You are being such an idiot!’” she admits of trying on five outfits before leaving the house for a date. Apparently, Rossdale is a hard act to follow: “He looks good in everything.”

Stars Go Mad for Banana Republic’s Sleek ‘Mad Men’ Collection

Mad Men may not be on the air at the moment, but that sexy ’60s style lives on thanks to Banana Republic’s new line of clothes, inspired by the Joan Harrises and Peggy Olsons of the past.

And while we’ve found ourselves going “mad” for the line, it appears Hollywood has, too! Gwen Stefani stepped out earlier this month in the black lace top ($45), which 90210 star Jessica Stroup dressed up for an event over the summer. Giuliana Rancic wore the same blouse in gold for a taping of E! News, too.

Emmy Rossum took her love of lace up a notch, sporting the black knit grace lace dress ($150) on a movie set in Los Angeles. Jaime King rocked the look, too, wearing it in white to a party at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont.

Gwen Stefani Takes Her Harajuku Style to Target

Gwen Stefani‘s style is no longer just for grown-ups. The successful designer — and No Doubt frontwoman — announced today that she’s partnering with Target to create Harajuku Mini, an affordable, two-installment collection for babies, children and tweens. The line will first debut in Target stores and on target.com on Nov. 13, with a second delivery in January. Prices will range from $3.99 to $29.99. “Harajuku Mini is a dream come true,” Stefani told WWD. “I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan.” Stefani, herself a mom of two young boys, knows her customer well, and says the whole idea of the line “is about being creative, expressing your own individuality and having fun getting dressed.” This marks the first time the designer, who’s had success with her L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers lines, has created clothes for babies and boys. “Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices,” Stefani said. Her collection follows recent collaborations between Target and brands like Calypso St. Barth, Petit Tresor and coming soon, Missoni.

Gwen Stefani Thought Fashion Was ‘Stuck Up’

Growing up in Anaheim, Calif., Gwen Stefani always found fashion elusive. “It was something I couldn’t touch,” she reveals in a recent interview with Stylist magazine. “I’d never even look in fashion magazines because for me, that was just a stuck-up world.” Fast forward a couple decades, and the 41-year-old is a brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, helms a venerable fashion empire and rocks a practically-trademarked look. “It never gets old,” she says of signature crimson lips and platinum locks, which she touches up bi-weekly, “I could do it all day long — I’ve been doing it since I was a little girl.” But much like longevity, identity is easily compromised in Hollywood. “When you start out being on covers of magazines, there’s so much politics,” she explains. “You’re like, ‘Wait, I don’t wear lavender, that’s not what I do.’ That’s the fun thing about success: the freedom you get and people learning to trust you and being inspired by you.” –Justine Harman

Would You Wear Bold Eyes and Lips Like Gwen Stefani?

As far as bright red lips and platinum hair go, Gwen Stefani has that market — or red carpet, if you will — cornered. She pulls this one-two beauty punch off whether she’s playing in the park with sons Zuma and Kingston or hitting a fancy fundraiser. But for a recent Cannes Film Festival movie screening, she upped the ante by pairing her standbys with sparkling navy blue eye shadow and what looks to be multiple sets of false lashes. We always follow the rule of focusing on eyes or lips, never both, but with Stefani it seems okay to break these age-old directives. What do you think? Tell us: Would you pair a dramatic smokey eye with bright lipstick?

Gwen Stefani’s Style Shopping List for Spring

Gwen Stefani has a rocker-girl style sensibility that leaves even the most committed fashion fan baffled. How in the world does she always look so put together? Along with her self-admitted vanity (“I love the visual,” she explains), the key to her trademark looks lies in her get-noticed choices. “Vivienne Westwood is one of my all-time favorite designers,” the stylista says to WhoWhatWear, referencing a raw-hemmed plaid jumper (above) from the label’s spring collection. Of celeb-adored Persol shades, Stefani is partial to vintage versions of their timeless frames. And to add a punky punch to any outfit, she recommends a finishing touch from Noir, like their $285 Bugle Bead Collar necklace (above). And of course, edgy accessories from her L.A.M.B. collection always fit the bill. Highlights include the $325 Kapono wedge sandal and a range of leopard handbags. “I love animal prints, you will always find one in my collections,” Stefani assures. To top it all off, the L’Oreal Paris spokeswoman puckers up with the brand’s Infallible Le Rouge lip color, a Stefani signature that her husband Gavin Rossdale “loves.” One question remains: are you bold enough to wear all of her selections at the same time? –Justine Harman
