Face of Fashion - Gwen Stefani

What with her gracing the cover of this month's American InStyle and her L.A.M.B range due to show at New York Fashion Week (which kicked off today), our choice for this week's Face of Fashion was pretty much made for us - let's hear it for Gwen Stefani. Her CV practically oozes cool; from her roots as lead singer of '90s ska band No Doubt to fully fledged solo artist to fashion designer (and she's a mum), Gwen really is the girl that has it all. Her style is very much her own; with a love of block colours and bold prints such as checks and stripes, she's equally at home working a street, punk-inspired look as she is in couture gowns. Her inherent theatrical streak results in a host of fantasy-tastic costumes, such as the Alice and Wonderland themed video for What You Waiting For? and the stage outfit below, even spilling over into her red-carpet choices with flowers in her hair or a gaggle of Geisha girls bringing up the rear. Beauty-wise, she's best known for her classic blood-red lipstick and eyeliner flick, but she does natural equally as well, and it's this look we love on her - clear, matte skin, plenty of kohl and a slick of clear lip gloss set against her angelic blonde hair. Simple but oh-so-effective. With such impressive fashion credentials, we can't wait to see what her New York show holds...
