Evolution Of Gwen Stefani: From Fresh-Faced Punk Princess To Makeup Mogul & TV Star

Gwen started her highly successful music career as a punk princess in the rock band No Doubt and is now considered a makeup and pop icon.

That's where she met her husband, Blake Shelton. Take a look back at the pop singer's ever-changing transformation over the years.

Gwen was known as a punk princess during this time period for wearing jewels on her face.

Gwen stunned on the red carpet of the 1998 Video Music Awards with her blue hair in space buns and a touch of body glitter.

“It was the '90s after all, so any guy who was a skater or a punk wore a chain belt," she told Vogue.

"So I was kind of a guy from the waist down in everything I wore."

With four albums under her belt, Hollaback Girl became her first solo number-one hit, joining four other top-ten hits. During this time, fans noticed a slight shift in Gwen's style. She did away with the face jewels but kept the jewelry heavy.

She was always seen wearing outlandish outfits with one-of-a-kind designs. She was dressed in a lot of belly shirts, plaid skinny jeans, fishnets, and big belts.

The era also marked the beginning of Gwen's bleached blonde hair. Her brows were thicker, but she kept the stunning red lip.

She was a judge on The Voice for several seasons. She was appointed as a judge in 2014. Stefani took a brief hiatus from the hit competition show after Carter Rubin won for her team in season 19.

She was later replaced by Nick Jonas, who originally made his coaching debut in season 18. Despite confirming the departure at the time, Stefani didn’t give a specific reason, but it is not uncommon for coaches to take a break.

Gwen launched her own makeup line, GVVE, in 2022. Her label describes itself as "clean, vegan, and cruelty-free." She debuted four lipsticks, each named after one of her songs. The brand now sells mascara, eyebrow pencils, eyeshadows, and other cosmetics.

Gwen admitted to being obsessed with her aging in a candid interview with Australia's Stellar magazine in 2021, adding that growing older in the public eye can be especially difficult.

"It’s really hard for everyone to age and have to face life," she shared."Especially for females and people who have been in the spotlight it can be daunting, but you tackle it by just trying to be the most beautiful version of yourself inside and out."

Fans noticed that Gwen appeared "unrecognizable" in some photos and during appearances. Many people speculate that she may have undergone plastic surgery. Gwen, 53, and some items from her makeup line were recently featured in a Sephora Instagram advertisement.

In the post's comments section, fans praised the Grammy winner, with one asking: "Does she ever age? with the fire emoji, "lol." It's called a facelift, lol, another fan replied with snark: "It's called a facelift lol. I can tell by her stretched face and hairline missing around front of ears. All telltale signs. Many of my friends have had it done also."

Fans accused her of going under the knife. One commenter said, "I'm getting to where I don't recognize her anymore."

"Wow...that is an extreme face lift," one person speculated. "The plastic slanted brows are giving me Madonna 2023 vibes," said a third critic. "I'm not interested."

Another person added, "I almost didn't recognize you."
