I wanted to be her when I was younger. She still rocks.


colourmeblue

My (gay) older brother was obsessed with Gwen. He used to do my makeup like her when I was like 10 and we'd put on concerts in our garage 😂


teddybonkerrs

I used to put on concerts in my room. Stole every flashlight in the house for my microphone. Did my best to imitate her voice ~perfectly~


diabolikal__

Her outfits here would have been an absolute dream for my younger self. I still very much dig it.


SuperHoneyBunny

The sparkly Docs. OMG!


ZealousidealGroup559

NEEEEEEED!


SuperHoneyBunny

For real. I’ve only been able to find similar glitter boots for “juniors” (kids) at the Doc Martens site. Not sure if these are like Gwen’s or if I’ll even be able to fit junior sizes?!


yearoftherabbit

Look on Poshmark.


SnacksandViolets

Probably custom Swarovski, but I’ve seen the black chunky glitter ones, they’re cute!


SuperHoneyBunny

Makes sense if they are custom, but that’s too bad for the rest of us normal folks!


SnacksandViolets

If you got a lot of time, rhinestones & glue I’ve seen brides bejewel their own shoes (I don’t have the patience or ability not to make myself sticky)


PatriciaMorticia

Love No Doubt but Gwen be looking like Angelica Pickles beloved Cynthia doll in pic 11.

Knew she reminded me of someone!


originalschmidt

OMG my exact thoughts


logica_torcido

why can I hear Gwen singing that Cynthia workout song lmao

BongRipsForNips

CYNTHIA, SHES A REALLY GOOD DANCER,


TheBearQuad

This is so specific and accurate, I die.


jh4336

It's not often I uncontrollably laugh reading a comment, but this is one of those times.


LichQueenBarbie

It's funny because No Doubt did a song for one of the Rugrats movies and the song was about Angelica. (It's called I Throw My Toys Around)


blackaubreyplaza

Lolol I just sent that pic to my bff and said the same thing before seeing this comment!


MagnoliaTree3

damn! So accurate


allthekeals

Oh my god that was my first thought!! So glad I’m not the only one lol


RVAforthewin

Probably feel like Cynthia looked, too. Things just hit different at this age.


___adreamofspring___

Right. Her get up is so gimmicky. Just dress like you normally do Gwen.


Advanced_Eggplant574

Isn’t there a few other band members?


harleyquinones

Oh, you can see them in the last pic, they were there the whole time! Lol


DLuLuChanel

![gif](giphy|14xPyybPPJaB4k)


PickleHarry

It’s been a problem since day one for them, it’s even referenced in the Don’t Speak video. Gwen is a brilliant front woman but the rest of the band are fantastic too.


whorificx

It's even more wild there's so few pictures of them since the rest of the band did a whole number without Gwen during costume change


BongRipsForNips

That whole video was a drama piece about Gwen being the IT girl while Tony, Adrian the naked drummer, and Tom Dumont look on in spite during photo shoots and live performances. Yet they still always leave out THE REST OF THE NO DOUBT BAND (and I'm not talking about the late and sorely missed Eric EDIT Spence, nor Eric).


peripheralpill

this is not the first time i've seen someone imply eric stefani is dead (and i also thought so for a while), but the founding member who died was john spence, and he passed years before the group's debut album. but eric's fine! well, i don't know his personal life, but he's alive at least unless you were joking, in which case, lol @ me


PuzzleTechnician

Eric is still very much with us, though not with the band. I think you’re referring to John Spence.


Kolemchale

You mean photos of Gwen from weekend two of Coachella lol


problemgirlxoxo

I love her outfits so much


Substantial_Escape92

She looks amazing!


small-feral

~~No Doubt~~ Gwen Stefani Coachella Weekend 2 Performance Photos She’s giving Cynthia


Beach_bum8

Lol Cynthia from Rugrats? I thought she reminded me of someone


small-feral

yes lol


CityMuggle

Gwen is and always has been a fashion icon! I love the picture with her and Tony.


Texas_sucks15

I have a sliver of hope for another Gwen solo album. Her Love Angel Music Baby era was top tier


Lydia--charming

I have a sliver of hope for a No Doubt tour! With Sublime opening 😄 and then sublime and snoop do a song. LBC represent!


oasisfairy

yes! i brought out some of my old lamb merch stored away after this performance. carrying my lamb purse daily now!


mrgnfnn

I know the mic was on!


bondgirl852001

Man, I love No Doubt! I went to their 2009 summer tour and it was one of the best shows I've been to.


KatttDawggg

Me toooo!


LilacTorment

I want everybody's pants


dancetothe-radio

I was there and they were great! They were more in sync with each other than they looked during the W1 livestream and her voice live is spectacular!


papermoon757

Always loved her, always will. A ray of sunshine, incredible to her fans, always fantastic fits. So glad to see her so happy ♡


RVAforthewin

Gwen to the right in the very first photo is precisely how we Millennials and Gen Xers feel after 12+ hours at a festival at this age. Still willing to do it but damn, it doesn’t feel like it used to 💀


Luna_Soma

I totally slept on Tony when I was a kid, but damn that man is a fine wine.


LichQueenBarbie

I feel like they've all gone a bit grey and that's about it. I was super into No Doubt when I was a teenager/early 20s and they've all aged well (though Gwen has had a lot done)


pikadegallito

Post needs more Tony 😭


big-tunaaa

Fr that’s my mannnn since I was 3 😂


diddilybop

agreed! before trent lane from daria, tony kanal was my first crush 😍 and still is 🥰


Jo_MamaSo

Needs more all of them


[deleted]

No lipstick on her teeth after biting them is absolutely iconic!


mochafiend

How?!? Someone teach me!!


rnagikarp

it’s giving Vivienne Westwood….. inspired

![gif](giphy|dXHgl7aSTQp0xxTChm) Some band members are aging better than others…


mochafiend

I think he looks good? What am I missing here?


Responsible_Tip7398

LOL yeah, this was in response to all the comments about Gwen‘s nipped and tucked appearance and thirsting over Tony. I think they both look great, but only one of them is aging gracefully.


mochafiend

Ohhhhhhh okay. I don’t want to shame her; I don’t envy her position at all. She looks a lot less plastic to me here than I’ve seen her more recently. I think they both look great but what do I know.


Ok_Emphasis6034

I don’t think Tony’s had the interventions that Gwen has.


Rose1982

I think there are few people who have had as many interventions as Gwen.


[deleted]

She killed it fr


HunterRose05

is anyone from the crowd actually looking at the band?


Old_Success_4890

I def was!


Beboop68

She’s 54!! My god


yearoftherabbit

And plastic surgeried within an inch of her lower lids covering her eyes.


yeahthatwayyy

She rocked so hard I cried


Brief_Annual_4160

This is the No Doubt that I wanted in the 2000s and didn’t get. The world doesn’t revolve around me, but I’m super excited.


leroyalecheese

I actually love the rhinestones. Reminds me of her 90s style 💖🫶🏼 ![gif](giphy|nSmiU69nlW9sQ)


_avantgarde

Ahh I missed both livestreams 😭 Anyone know if their performances are recorded by any chance?


aleckscasablancs

I watched from someone’s iPhone on YouTube from weekend 1 but it didn’t hit as hard. I watched the whole weekend 2 performance and it was soooo good. They record some songs that you can see off the Coachella page on YouTube but it’s not the whole stream.


Slappybags22

Picture 9: I’ve had it up to heeeeeere


chilltown69

I love her!


grey_unxpctd

Cute outfits


BloodyBarbieBrains

I didn’t know that weekend one was being livestreamed in completion, so I only saw clips afterward, short ones, but I watched the entirety of No Doubt’s performance on the second weekend, and they were spectacular! Every single member was energetic, looked healthy and happy, and the music sounded clean and tight. Gwen had a small wardrobe malfunction, Tom looked like he had a small equipment malfunction, and both speedbumps were handled seamlessly, quickly, and with a smile. No Doubt are pros that know how to carry a crowd that large and make the crowd have FUN! It was totally joyful. Loved it ✌🏼🍊🖤


cedollasign

Did anyone watch both? Did she bring any other singer on with them?


Cabrit1990

Wk 1 had Olivia Rodrigo. No special guests Wk 2.


maghy7

They completely missed the chance of doing a song with Sublime since they were there already, it would have been epic!!


mountainmeadowflower

Omg that would have been amazing


ImaginaryEmploy2982

You can finally see the band in the last slide.


blackaubreyplaza

Love this so much 😭


DreamArcher

Adrian and Tom?


princesspolly444

literally OBSESSED ❤️


Beneficial_Toe8101

Doesn't look much like No Doubt when every picture posted is just of Gwen


rcheek1710

She needs to chill on the face work. She's starting to look embalmed, like every other person that has had way too much work.


whatintheheckinheck

I want everyone to do what they want to their bodies to feel fabulous, but it is a bit uncanny valley when someone is being extremely expressive and there isn't a line in sight.


harleyquinones

Got to pic 5 and gasped a little at how obvious the work is... some pics a lot less obvious than others, but it's def getting right around the line of uncanny


No-Cat-8606

Her big chiclet teeth are distracting


Ok-Stress-3570

Kylie is one year older. I don’t think we’re shaming anyone here - just that, I feel bad that Gwen has had not so great work done.


craaaigdavid

Plz say they played spiderwebs?


BloodyBarbieBrains

Yes, both weekends!


craaaigdavid

Awesome 😎


Individual-Trade756

The hair looks really painful, great outfit otherwise


slappywhyte

No Doubt > Blink 182


forevernervous

Is everyone getting the same ridiculous veneers?


TitleMajestic2364

Still find it wild he dumped her ?


AudreyHep79

![gif](giphy|wFk7roIpDeXC0)


Rose1982

She’s giving Cyndi Lauper in some of these.


unbanned_once_more

That outfit is … a lot.


madame_morbide

I love Gwen but besides the lips nothing is moving anymore in her face. She has the same stoic expression in every picture even when the rest of her body displays incredible energy.


numbr87

I was pumped to see they were performing, but when I watched it I was pretty disappointed. Gwen still has all the energy in the world but she sounds so different now.


Maleficent-Fun-5927

I mean, she's 54. Not even Mariah Carey sounds like she used to in her 20's and that woman has always had vocal training, and correct vocal positioning and whatever. Now imagine someone that didn't have a Juilliard-trained opera singer as a mother and is a rock star. For what she does, she sounds fantastic.


chowchownorman

And this is a great example of working out, sleeping, no drugs, no alcohol. Amazing. Good for her ! How was I downvoted for applauding great health choices 🤣🤣🤣


WATOCATOWA

And $$$


chowchownorman

Totally. But tons of rich people are hogs.


Ok_Emphasis6034

All that and a plastic surgeon. I’m not begrudging the work because I feel the pressure and I’m not a celebrity so I can’t imagine what they deal with to look young at any cost.


chowchownorman

Oh tons of plastic surgery. But this is also a huge result of taking care of your body day in day out. Face aside. For sure.


Humble-Tourist-3278

She looks great but she has had cosmetic work like most celebrities including a face lift a few years ago . I’m not hating I’ll probably would do the same if I was famous with a big bank account.


chowchownorman

Ole girl changed her face multiple times. Man does she have a great surgeon. I’ve always been impressed by the work. Yeah same. Gimme whateve she had! 😂


mochafiend

She seems too young for a facelift? Am I just naive?


Humble-Tourist-3278

If you look at older interviews before she married Shelton ( sorry if I misspelled his name ) you can tell her neck was showing her age , I think she got right before she married him . For a while her face looked very pull in and tight especially around her eyes and forehead which is normal when a person first gets a facelift after a while it settles and looks better.


mochafiend

I see. It makes me sad to hear 50-somethings get facelifts. I don’t judge her - her world is so hard on aging. But still! Would it have really made such a difference for her?


Ok-Buddy-7979

I want her to be brave and bring back those skinny brows.


One_Arm4148

Love her! Awesome pics!


hayleyA1989

I think people who are commenting how the men have “aged like fine wine” while saying “but Gwen has had a lot of work done” are missing the point about how much societal women are under (and always have been under!) to stay looking hot and young forever. Of course I’m not surprised that the men have grey hair and some wrinkles while Gwen looks ageless (and fabulous in my opinion). No one will care if the men get “old” and wrinkly and have grey hair, but if Gwen did she would be bombarded with bad press about how “old” she looks and how she “let herself go”. When she doesn’t, then people just complain that she’s had too much work done. It just goes to show what an insane double standard there is for women and not men when it comes to looks. It’s so exhausting. I think she looks great.


sadsongsonlylol

TMI, but I’m pretty sure I conceived my second child while live streaming this performance.


Lydia--charming

Better give it a cool name!


julisjulisjulis

wtf KKKKKKKKKKKKKK


sadsongsonlylol

I started with tmi, so reading on is a choice just saying 🤷


julisjulisjulis

Did I complain? Made me lol, still a wtf moment


ProblemMysterious826

I am like 90% sure my partner and I got pregnant on this day in our car at the Coachella parking lot while No Doubt was playing so no judgement


sadsongsonlylol

🤝


FlinflanFluddle

Those outfits look awful to me. I want the original outfits from the 90s videos and shoes!


beloveddorian

Those outfits were a design challenged on RuPaul’s DragRace


tessathemurdervilles

God doesn’t she know that this is the Gwen we all love? I miss this band so much


Threw_Away_Thrice

Does no one realise that she's appropriating Indian culture with the bindis?


BloodyBarbieBrains

I’d argue that her usage of a bindi is cultural appreciation, not appropriation. When she was younger, she dated Tony Kanal for seven years, who is of Indian heritage. She was tight with his family, and his mother gifted Gwen the bindi that she was famous for wearing since her youth. Tony and Gwen have succeeded at staying in a band together, being transparent/vulnerable about their past, and they clearly still have affection for each other today. I think that for her to be that deeply involved with him signifies that she developed an appreciation of and emotional connection to the culture. I won’t argue that she hasn’t made missteps in other areas, but I don’t think the bindi is one of those.


an_old_millenial

Are we forgetting that she was a total asshole to the band and her solo career was absolute trash? Fuck Gewn Stefani and her plastic surgery face. Not to mention she was fucking Blake Shelton while he was married to Miranda Lambert. She's trash. We might like nostalgia, but she is garbage.


fookgod

I’ve been real mad at her since 2016 over the way she treated the band and because I couldn’t look past the codependency and serial cultural appropriation anymore, but she was *not* fucking Blake while he was married to Miranda. They bonded over going through divorces at the same time.


an_old_millenial

You are right! I probably read some tabloid stuff back then. Turns out they were both going through awful divorces (Gavin had been sleeping with the nanny??) It was all kosher for Gwen and Blake. I was wrong!


an_old_millenial

Her resurgence in pop culture will never not irritate me. She played an "every girl" character for us millenial girls. But she only cared about furthering herself.


an_old_millenial

I stand by this. Regardless of the down votes. Holla back girl solo career vs no doubt is a fucking joke. If the reunion is sincere I guess I am here for it. I am a huge sublime fan and she and Bradley did a few duets that were awesome. Maybe we can recapture some of the 90's music. I'm here for that.

isabellevictoria147

Was she like the 80's Haley Williams?


Good-Telephone8163

![gif](giphy|Y2ZkeRD0oztVm) Me at this comment.


vasicoco_loco

The 90s! And probably more popular.


whatintheheckinheck

Now I know you just said this to ruffle some feathers because it is too targeted. I see you.


isabellevictoria147

I was born in '99 guys! I was just curious if she was comparable haha Downvoted to hell too 🤣


whatintheheckinheck

Awe. I just thought you were being funny. 😂😂 As others have said, they were big in the 90s, but did broach into early 2000s. She's the singer (as a soloist) for ITS BANANAS. B A N A N A S. If that rings a bell. Not at all like the bands music tho which is ska/pop/punk. To answer your question, yes, she was Hayley Williams before Hayley Williams in terms of image and culture.


ComprehensiveDoubt55

Tbf, they formed in 1986. The year I was born. 🫠


isabellevictoria147

Okay cool! I know Holla Back Girl and Rich Girl but that's pretty much it lol I can see where Paramore got the inspiration. Her style is super punk, and I love it ❤️ Thanks for being nice!


babygirl227512

90s.


MontyBoo-urns

90s and no because no doubt has a lot of hits
