Gwen Stefani (Bauer Griffin, Getty) Gwen Stefani is one of our fashion heroes. Her fearless style record and strict commitment to her own distinct aesthetic is unparalleled. She knows who she is and tells the world without reservation. If only she could bottle and sell that seemingly indestructible self confidence! But until that happens, we'll make do by continuing to track her rocker-chic outfits for a little edgy inspiration. Take a look at these before and after red carpet photos, we love how her look has changed in so many ways without really changing at all. She traded in her sporty pants for jumpsuits, her crop-tops for leather, her bandanas for cat eyes, and is now getting some serious mileage out of those drop-crotch trousers . But all in all, that original uber-hip bleach-blonde is still fully intact. Cheers to the next step in Gwen's forever cool sartorial evolution.

Former gym rat Gwen Stefani has thrown in the towel on exercise. This past year, I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up, she recently told Marie Claire UK in an interview. While recording and promoting No Doubts sixth studio album, Push And Shove , the singer, clothing designer, wife, and mother of two decided that working out, something she once felt she had to do, had to go. Last year, Stefani claimed she was addicted to exercising, according to the magazine.

Gwen Stefani (PacificCoastNews.com) If anyone can make cargo pants cool again, it's Gwen Stefani . I remember my beloved khaki cargos form the late '90sthey were Roxy, slightly high-water, and I bought them at Zumiez. I haven't been to the mall retailer since my Jr. High days, but I remember they'd hire aggressive "sk8er" boys to pressure tweens into buying things like said pants. But back to Gwen, who was spotted picking her son up from school in a (much more fashionable) slightly slouchy pair. Can we all pause in awe for a second at just how cool she made these look? She wore the single-pocket trousers with a black blazer and oversize tee. White open-toe booties, a shoulder bag, and a messy bun completed the effortless vibe. And of course, that signature red lipstick was fully intact. It's important to note that Zuma's Ninja Turtle costume was also pretty radical.

The singer has long confessed that she takesstyl-spiration from '90s pop queen Gwen Stefani, revealing that theNo Doubt front woman inspired her to become a red lipstick lover.

Gwen Stefani (PacificCoastNews.com, FameFlynet Pictures) Gwen Stefani 's love of masculine trousers is nothing new, but it seems her addiction to the cozy drop-crotch look has reached new heights, err, lows. Generally, we're hardcore Gwen style worshipersno one can replicate this platinum blonde's look and few have such a distinct signature aesthetic with that heaping of fearlessness. Today, when we spotted the mom/singer/designer strolling down an LA street, we were eager to see what she was wearing. First, we were delighted by her fabulous structured blazer and those persistent red lips, but when our eyes reached the pants (and their foot-long zipper!) a little voice inside us screamed "Make it stop!" What do you think, can Gwen do no wrong? Or do you wish she'd ditch this trend for a sleeker look? (FameFlynet Pictures) See Gwen Stefani's lookbook: Related Articles:
