Whether she is channeling Jean Harlow or Marylin Monroe, Gwen Stefani never gets it wrong. Her notoriously cutting-edge style blends the old glamour of 1940s Hollywood with a modern femininity, all the while upholding her Rock Star likeness.
Gwen always stays true to what works for her; classic lines and structured dresses, jackets, and suits are wardrobe staples, although she always remains in tune with the current trends. Amazing belts worn high on the waist and gold accessories are some of the right-now pieces she's been spotted wearing. Her style is timeless, making it easy to pull off in the real world for most any body type.
Tailored jackets (like House of Dereon's wrap pleated jacket in gabardine wool) cinch the waist much more effectively than endless sit-ups, and the clean lines and attention to detail are so Gwen. Meticulous craftsmanship makes this piece special, with buttons, seams and pleats that beautifully flatter a woman's body. The wide-notched collar highlights the décolleté with grace and elegance, a là Gwen. She has been spotted wearing jumpsuits as well, but only those of the most unique sort; Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Jumpsuit is a sexy take on a typically utilitarian piece. The halter tie and open back combined with cargo flap pockets seamlessly marry glamorous sophistication and the sporty side of fashion in way that we are sure Gwen would go nuts over.
Of course if you really want to emulate Ms. Stefani, what better way to do so than to sport her own personal designs. L.A.M.B. incorporates the style icon’s sportier side, with clothes and shoes inspired by energy, passion, and movement, just as the acronym, LAMB (love, action, music, baby), implies. Her “Baby” sneakers are a perfect example of her collection’s character. Gwen defines Baby on the outside quarter panel of the shoe which is dressed in 24 carat gold-plated hardware. Feet stay pampered in a super soft cashmere lining and a velvety micro fiber sock liner, which, when removed, displays the Baby definition again, silk screened inside the shoe. Rasta-striped ribbon is the trimming, and the shoe is finished off with a gold lamb insignia on the side of the heel. The ultimate in luxury, but still with an urban edge, as only Gwen could pull off.
So whether you are in the mood to put on a tailored suit, a sexy jumper, or some deluxe kicks, know that it is the balance between lavish femininity and the ultramodern that seals her style with a kiss….with her signature red lips, of course.
