8 Times Gwen Stefani Was No Doubt A Style Icon

Fashion from the 90's is back in full force. From distressed denim, to choker necklaces, it feels like we can open up one of our high school yearbooks and be completely relevant in our style again.

From her blue-hair, to her glamorous red lipstick, Gwen Stefani's fashion was "no doubt" one of the most iconic evolution of the 90's.

Pastel Hair Colors

Before Katy Perry showed off her blue locks, Stefani showed off the electric-blue hair at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 1998. The rest of the outfit is so totally 90s right now; from the jewels on her face, to the strange wardrobe.

Retro-Punch Wardrobe

When Gwen took the stage at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on June 14, 1996 dressed in yellow patent leather pants with a chunky black belt and a cropped white tank top, a style was born.

"I never had a stylist or a makeup artist or even an assistant. I had my makeup box and I had my suitcase," Gwen said.

When Girls Wore Ties

I think all girls remember pairing a splashy colored tie with their outfits as part of a 'punk' style motivated by Gwen. At Super Bowl 2002, Gwen played out a plaid punk look with knee-high boots, a single red biker glove, and a tie, bikini, tank top, vest combo.

Red Lipstick

What better way for a girl to stand out than those big bright red lips! Gwen was always able to pull off that Hollywood glam look and make it her own.

The nostalgia continues with these great styles.

The No Doubt lead singer was definitely not afraid to take some risks with her wardrobe, sporting, at times, some odd combinations.

"I just always was that girl who was into style and makeup. I can remember getting into high school and getting into music and that’s probably when it really started," she said.

Her entry into being a fashion icon was not intentional.

"I was so naive. I didn’t know anything about real fashion. Growing up in Orange County, I would look at magazines and I’d be, like, anti-magazine: “Oh, my God, you can’t get those clothes, they’re so expensive!” I would just be all about getting a pair of old men’s pajamas and pegging them, making my own stuff. I just wanted to dress different from everyone else, and I don’t know why," she said.

Short Hair, Don't Care

From brightly-colored hair to long blonde locks, Gwen seems to have done it all. That includes all of these mini pony tails in her short do. We all had at least one friend that rocked this style in high school, maybe it was you?

Jewels Everywhere

Whether they were on your face accenting your brow or all over your tank top, jewels were a staple in Gwen's wardrobe and ours too!

Big Studded Belts

A staple of the punk-style, these oversized studded belts were something that caught the eye right away. Even if you didn't need a belt for you pants you wore one.

Showing off the Midriff

Before we hit the freshman fifteen, we weren't afraid to show some naval. While most of us never looked like Gwen, we loved showing a little skin- because well it was the time!

Remembering NFL in the 90's

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have

Die Hard's Reginald VelJohnson Reveals How Al Powell Got Him Cast On Family Matters

Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?

Reptar Bars Are Back And They Are The "Superist" And The "Duperist" Versions Yet

Everyone remembers watching Rugrats as a kid, right? It was only the best kids' show ever. Those "dumb babies" as Angelica Pickles would say were a lot more clever than they let on, and in their many adventures they inspired us kids to believe that we could do anything. I mean, we don't have to question how or why a baby keeps a screwdriver in his diaper, because the logistics of where he got it or how he keeps it in there without hurting himself is beyond me, but that's not what matters here. What does matter is that these
