Gwen Stefani, 42 and Fabulous!

Yesterday, Gwen Stefani celebrated her 42nd birthday, and she couldn’t look more fabulous! At age 42, the singer-songwriter and fashion designer is one of the most fashionable women in Hollywood. Between her platinum blonde locks, fiery red lips, and her rocker-chic fashion sense, Gwen Stefani’s signature look has turned her into an influential worldwide fashion icon.

Her innate sense of style and incredible ability to start trends has created one of the most successful celebrity fashion labels. In 2003, Stefani debuted her upscale womenswear fashion line, L.A.M.B, a flirty rocker label that represents her style, music, and personality, combined with influences from Guatemalan, Japanese, and Jamaican styles. In 2005, she expanded her collection with a line of fragrances and accessories. Harajuku Lovers draws inspiration from Japanese culture and fashion. "For me it's not that deep," says Stefani. "For me the line is genuinely for myself. I want to make a line of clothes that I want to wear -- it's kind of selfish." And while she may consider it selfish, it has been the key to the tremendous success of her brand. And her fashion empire is continuing to expand! Her sons, Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 2, are among the best dressed kids in Hollywood, and now Stefani’s fans can turn their own tots into little rock stars. On November 13th, Stefani will launch her children’s line for Target, called Harajuku Mini. The style icon says that this line is “a dream come true” and that she has always wanted to cute and playful kid’s clothing line, similar to the styles you’d find in Japan.

Gwen Stefani truly has a unique and iconic style. Her look is chic, daring, and edgy. Whether she is on a red carpet, going grocery shopping, or out with her sons, she always looks stylish and perfectly put together. Stefani told Elle Magazine, “I mean, I’m very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual.”

Stefani believes that fashion should be fun. “It’s an expression of yourself and your personality and your mood, it's not something we take super deep." This is true for her clothing line, and her own personal style. Stefani’s looks are always fun and take risks. The great thing about Stefani’s look is that she isn’t afraid to break the rules. Most beauty experts would say to only enhance one feature at a time. But Stefani often challenges this rule by pairing red lips with a dramatic smoky eye. And she proves them wrong almost effortlessly, never looking overdone. She is never afraid to be daring with her look. A rule that Stefani doesn’t break? If you got it, flaunt it! And 42, she’s still got it! Her body is as amazing as ever, still rocking those famous abs!

Gwen Stefani sets her own standards for fashion and creates a style that is uniquely her own. Her style will have an everlasting influence in the world of fashion.
