Where Did Gwen Stefani Shop as a Teen?

Aug/14/2012 at 03:00 PM ET

Gwen Stefani recently revealed that her grandmother was behind her big beauty moves, and it sounds like the other woman in her life — her mom — inspired her sense of fashion.

“I think I’ve always, my whole life, loved to get dressed up and even if nobody was looking at me, I would still get dressed up,” Stefani tells Harper’s Bazaar The Look. “My mom took me to the fabric store … we made clothes from when I was a little girl.”

But she really grew into her look in her teens. “High school was really when I discovered music and I figured out, ‘Oh, this defines me,’ and I was making thrift-store clothes,” she reveals. “I used to do a lot of buying of clothes and then altering them to make them how I wanted — lots of glue guns, lots of Velcro.”

Ever since No Doubt’s “Just A Girl” video debuted in 1995, Gwen Stefani‘s signature red lip has been emulated by fashionistas everywhere. But the inspiration behind the look wasn’t the star’s idea — it came from someone older and wiser: her grandmother.

Thinking back to her high school years, when her grandmother gave her a tube of crimson-red lip color, the singer tells Harper’s Bazaar, “I remember sitting in my ghetto, beat-up Honda Prelude, and putting on that lipstick in the rear-view mirror and being like, ‘Uh-huh, I like that. That’s the sh** right there.’ I never stopped after that.”

The glossy’s cover girl also dishes on the origin of her other style signature: her hair. According to the rocker, at 25 she spent eight hours at a salon in Long Beach, Calif., dyeing her hair platinum blonde — and she immediately loved the new ‘do. “It was like I’d unlocked the key,” she reveals. “I remember feeling like, ‘I have arrived. This is me. Finally.’”

She’s back … and better than ever! Though Gwen Stefani never really went anywhere, her band No Doubt just released their first single in 10 years and are in the midst of promoting a new album, which means the flawless singer is gallivanting around in the most stylish rocker-chic outfits imaginable.

Stefani‘s latest look? A head-to-toe jaguar-print Blumarine pantsuit, which she finished off with her signatures: blonde tresses and a red lip. Keep in mind that the she donned this outrageous ensemble while waiting outside of her N.Y.C hotel on Wednesday afternoon in 85-degree heat. Just a leisurely mid-day outfit as far as the mom of two is concerned!

Over the weekend, the 42-year-old upstaged every tween at the Teen Choice Awards in a leather vest and pants by YSL. But it was her stylish touches — cat-eye frames, red lips and a gold anklet (yep, they’re back!) — that made the look as stellar as it was.
