Gwen Stefani usually has pretty luxe taste — from her Galliano gowns to Lanvin dresses to pieces from her own L.A.M.B. collection, it’s all usually a little out of our price range.

Gwen Stefani’s signature red lips can’t keep her warm in the London cold, but her bright red gloves can! Bright accessories like these are an easy way to add a little pop to winter’s all-dark outwear. Here are a few suggestions on how to nab your own pair of crimson handwarmers. To get Gwen’s look, go for a longer length, and scrunge them down around your wrists. And don’t forget the matching lipstick!

Gwen Stefani may have experimented with her beauty routine back in the day — remember her pink hair and braces? — but lately, she’s stuck to a classic ’50s combo of platinum hair and red lips. But until she stepped out this weekend, we never realized how key another element was to her look — her eyebrows! On her way to Christina Aguilera’s baby shower in Los Angeles, Gwen showed off totally bleached out brows (and another great plaid coat). We can’t believe how such a simple change can have such a huge difference — Gwen looks so different! Tell us: Which look do you like better for Gwen? Penciled arches or bleached brows?

– GWEN STEFANI, taking her adorable son Kingston, 16 months, out boutiquing with her in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. What were they buying? Stefani and her son browsed toys during the visit — and Kingston appearing one of the sweaters they bought the next day!

– Also in SoHo, HALLE BERRY, going shoe shopping at té casan along with her boyfriend GABRIEL AUBRY. Her purchase? One pair of Niki Robinson for té casan booties.

– ELISHA CUTHBERT, taking a break from shooting her film The Six Wives of Henry Lefay (in Stamford, Conn.) to hit up the LF Greenwich boutique during the store’s event for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. There, Cuthbert picked up jeans (2056’s by Furst Premium Denim) and some metallic, high-waisted Poseia pants.

– EMMY ROSSUM, shopping at the boutique Milk on 3rd Street in Los Angeles. The singer-actress looked fresh faced and wore a black dress, jacket and beret. Down the street her handlers ordered her a fruit plate to go from hip eatery Toast. Their next stop: Dolce & Gabbana.

Gwen Stefani may be known for her trend-setting style, but she’s not alone in creating her flawless image. Last night, the star turned out to the “Stylist: Interpreters of Fashion” book party with her longtime team of hairstylist Danilo and stylist (and L.A.M.B. collaborator) Andrea Lieberman. Gwen gushed to PEOPLE “It’s beyond work.They’re kind of like my best friends. We play house together all the time.” Echoing Gwen’s declaration of friendship, Andrea told PEOPLE, “She is not like most people at all. She is amazing. She’s a joy to be around, a dear friend. She is totally cute and unique.” So how do you dress a style icon? Andrea gives all the credit to Gwen, saying “I don’t think anyone can make her her. She is so 100% pure Gwen. I think one can elaborate and enrich it. . .but it’s always really fun.” And it’s always really fun for us to see what she comes up with next!

Though we’re dreading the cold weather, one thing we are looking forward to is buying a fabulous new coat. Gwen Stefani fought the London chill in this gorgeous Jean Paul Gaultier red wool tartan coat with black patent leather trim this weekend and got us thinking plaid. A switch from the solid black, camel or even red coat, a checkered print like Gwen’s is definitely fun. Since little else is visible in the colder months, why not live it up with your outerwear? If you have the power to splurge you can get Gwen’s Jean Paul Gaultier coat, $4480 at select Sak’s Locations. If not, we picked some of our favorite — and affordable — plaid coats.
