00:00And I almost got to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio,
00:03but I didn't get to.
00:04So, too late for that.
00:06Hey, what's up, Harper's Bazaar?
00:08I'm Gwen Stefani, and today we are going to be looking back
00:12at some of my fashion moments.
00:15This is Fashion Flashback.
00:19All right, the first one is in 1996, maybe?
00:24I'm looking down at this, I'm thinking,
00:26this is a girl that had a makeup box,
00:29a suitcase that didn't have much in it,
00:31didn't have a stylist, didn't have a hairdresser,
00:34didn't have a makeup artist,
00:36just had a bunch of stinky boys.
00:37And I remember this exact outfit
00:40because I had this uniform of things
00:42that I had to wear to make me feel
00:44like I could be me on stage.
00:46And it had to be a cutoff shirt,
00:47and it had to be a certain length.
00:49It had to be a tank top,
00:51and I had to have men's trousers.
00:54I don't even know where I got the jacket,
00:55probably some main jeep or a store.
00:58It looks like it smells a lot in this photo.
01:00I can smell it from the photo.
01:03But I remember this time.
01:04It was a really hard time for me, actually,
01:06because the record that I wrote
01:08was a record about my boyfriend dumping me.
01:12So you may or may not know, he was in the band.
01:16We went on tour together,
01:17and I had to be there with him singing these songs
01:21I wrote about him, still wanting to be with him,
01:24but he didn't want to be with me.
01:25I just remember every night, singing those songs.
01:28Let's just remember how you felt again.
01:30Don't speak.
01:31You know, that was the bad part,
01:32but the good part was like, yes!
01:34And we were just having the time of our lives,
01:36and we knew we were so good
01:37because we had nine years to get good.
01:41All right, next up, guys, 2001 MTV Awards.
01:46I can remember very specifically
01:48knowing exactly what I wanted to look like that night.
01:51I really wanted to have that 1940s, the roles,
01:54and I had tried to do them myself before I went platinum,
02:00and it's very difficult to do,
02:02but once you burn your hair and ruin it, it's not as hard.
02:06And I really wanted to give that sort of 1940s
02:09soldier girl, USA pinup girl look,
02:13and I had an amazing stylist at this point.
02:16I had met my soulmate, Andrea Lieberman.
02:19She was all about making custom clothes.
02:22She even made the Rocksteady knuckle jewelry,
02:26which I don't think it was real.
02:27I have them still.
02:28I was so naive and so pure and so ready
02:33to just be a fan of all the things that I loved,
02:36and I was gonna take all that, and I was gonna wear it.
02:40It didn't even matter what anyone thought.
02:41I was like, this is who I am.
02:44Onto the next one, 2004 MTV Awards.
02:48I can remember this night really well.
02:50Let's just go from the top down.
02:53My hair was on point.
02:55Danilo Dixon, he was all about any kind of glamor set,
03:01and I thought the hair was just so beautiful that night,
03:03and I got to wear this stunning Louis Vuitton dress
03:08by Marc Jacobs.
03:10It's just such an incredible foreshadowing
03:13because what came next after this was my solo record,
03:17which was very inspired by Alice in Wonderland,
03:21and I feel like he was very inspired by Alice in Wonderland
03:24with the blue and the white and the ruffle and the black bow,
03:27but it was just an amazing time.
03:29I was working with Andrea Lieberman.
03:31She could find things that I didn't even know about
03:34because she lived in New York,
03:35and she knew all the designers, and she knew how it worked,
03:38and I was just a girl from Anaheim
03:39that went to the fabric store and the thrift store
03:42and made my own thing up, and when we got together,
03:45it was when things just elevated
03:48because it was like a little bit of both mashed into one,
03:51her and me, and I was in love with her, in love.
03:56All right, 2004.
03:58This is the Aviator premiere.
04:00Martin Scorsese, mic drop.
04:04Vivienne Westwood, for me, was something that I discovered
04:07before I knew who she was.
04:09She's like the creator of punk rock.
04:12I didn't know.
04:13I was like a super fan,
04:14so anytime I could wear Vivienne Westwood, I was that girl.
04:18I think what's so incredible about the dress
04:19and what Vivienne Westwood would do
04:22is she would take classic, vintage, romantic ideas,
04:26and then she would mess them up and twist them,
04:28like how she twists the fabric on the pockets,
04:30all messed up.
04:31I mean, it's all designed so inside out and beautiful.
04:35She went into my heart, and she was like,
04:37okay, I'm gonna figure out what Gwen wants,
04:39and then she designed it.
04:40Not in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine
04:43that I would ever be in a film,
04:45but not only was I in a film,
04:48but I was in a Martin Scorsese film playing Gene Harlow,
04:51and I almost got to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio,
04:54but I didn't get to, so too late for that.
04:58That was one of the most incredible, scary experiences.
05:03I didn't have any skills.
05:04I just tried out, and I went to the Bel Air Hotel,
05:07and they were just literally trying out girls.
05:10They were walking in and try out, and you walk out,
05:13and I just remember I walked in.
05:14I did the scene, and they were so nice,
05:16and Martin made me feel so normal and comfortable,
05:19and I got the part.
05:21I had like three lines, but I got the part, okay?
05:24All right, 2005, and this is on the set of Hollaback Girl.
05:30I was so absolutely clear on what I was doing,
05:34not just the music, but even what I was gonna wear
05:37was very, very clear, and I really wanted to go back
05:41to my roots, and this is exactly my uniform
05:44of what I would wear.
05:47In fact, I believe that those are one of my pants
05:51from the old days, like some thrift store men's pants.
05:54There's not much to it, guys.
05:56It's a bra that shows, a tank top.
06:00Of course, Andrea blinged it out, made it look cool,
06:03and then she made me the bananas belt,
06:05which my favorite thing about Andrea was spare no expense.
06:08She's like, oh, I'm gonna go make you a metal
06:10bananas custom belt, you can wear that
06:12with your old haggard pants that are from your closet.
06:16Do you still have the belt?
06:18I do have the belt.
06:19It's in my closet.
06:21Are you trying to get someone to come raid my house?
06:24All right, next up, this is The Met, 2019,
06:28and it's Jeremy Scott from Moschino.
06:30This look was just created for me.
06:34Jeremy called, and he was like,
06:36do you wanna go with me and be my guest?
06:37And I was like, you know what?
06:39Yeah, I want to.
06:41And he sent me the sketch of this.
06:42It looked literally exactly like this.
06:44It was my face with the ponytail and the outfit,
06:48but I was thinking, ooh, that's tiny.
06:51Like, is that an outfit,
06:52or is that like a showgirl baby suit?
06:55Like, what am I doing?
06:55I was so excited to wear something
06:57that's so sparkly and so glamorous.
07:00It just echoes back to all of those old-time movies
07:04that I used to worship back in the day,
07:06and anytime I can wear a feather boa, like, yes.
07:10I'm gonna say yes to that.
07:11The next one.
07:13All right, now we are in 2023, the CMT Music Awards,
07:18and I'm wearing Valentino.
07:19I was there with Blake,
07:21and it was a really unusual situation
07:23where they had invited me, the CMT Awards,
07:27to come and sing Just a Girl.
07:29When I do that song, it's very, like, specific.
07:33I have to have my hair a certain way.
07:35I have to have my makeup a certain way,
07:38and the energy has to be sort of masculine in a way.
07:41It can't just be early and pretty and soft.
07:43Like, there has to be, like, a little bit of edge.
07:46My gorgeous, stunning hairdresser, Suzette,
07:50absolutely sliced it because she pulled my face back so far
07:54that I look like a mannequin in the best way.
07:58As far as the outfit goes,
08:00this is, like, the perfect outfit
08:02that describes probably my style overall.
08:05It sums me up, I think,
08:07and it was just such a perfect way
08:09to walk out on the red carpet with my husband.
08:12I felt like we looked like two cartoon characters
08:14of ourselves because we don't go together,
08:17but we go perfectly together,
08:18and I got to perform Just a Girl.
08:22It was amazing.
08:23All right, 2024, Coachella.
08:26And this is Roberto Cavalli.
08:28Did you ever think that was gonna happen?
08:30I didn't.
08:31This was one of the most incredible performances
08:35that No Doubt's ever done.
08:37We knew it was gonna be, like, super iconic
08:41just for ourselves, our own souls,
08:44that we would get reunited and do the show.
08:46To be able to get up there and come out of the stage
08:49and the energy with all those people there,
08:52I described it like a tsunami wave of love.
08:55When we were thinking about looks,
08:57it was like, how do we do something
08:59that feels like the past,
09:01but it elevates to where we're at right now?
09:05Look at this outfit.
09:06It's ridiculous.
09:07It is so on point.
09:09It was like a little romper
09:11that has asymmetrical punk rock skirt,
09:14and it was a lot of layers, guys.
09:16It was hot.
09:17I had, like, one, two, three, four tights,
09:21a wool, like, jumper, and then fake leather sleeves.
09:26Like, I was dying, but worth it.
09:29And lots of fights about the hair.
09:31Suzette, she's always trying to push me
09:34to go as far as possible,
09:37and I'm always like, I've done all of them.
09:39Like, I need to grow up.
09:41Playing on the theme of the bun,
09:43she was like, no, but what if we do tassels?
09:45I can't, I don't know, I'll show you.
09:46And so she kind of showed me this,
09:48and I was just like, I don't know.
09:50I was stressed.
09:51Long story short, she did it.
09:54She killed it.
09:55They flowed in the wind,
09:56and they were just this evolution of everything I'd done,
09:59but we were in the future now,
10:01and I'm just so proud of this whole moment,
10:04the look, all of the people
10:06that I got to collaborate with,
10:08the band, and everyone that showed up.
10:10Thank you, guys.
10:11I love you.
10:12That's it.
10:13That's all you get.
10:14Thank you so much for listening to me babble
10:16about my past looks,
10:19and also, don't forget, Bouquet is out now.
10:22Check out where we're at right now
10:24and where we're in the future.
10:25Love you guys.
