She was the lead singer and songwriter for No Doubt, who emerged as one of the most popular pop acts of the '90s with hits like "Don't Speak," "Spiderwebs" and "Just A Girl." Gwen Stefani also branched out on her own in 2004 with her solo debut, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., which enjoyed commercial and critical success. Equal accolades followed for 2006's The Sweet Escape.
"Sunshine" is the perfect nickname for this perky California girl. Gwen Stefani's platinum blond hair and bright red lipstick catches eyes, thanks to a style that is mostly of her own creation; Gwen designed most of the midriff-baring outfits she wore during her No Doubt days.
She's also the creator of two clothing lines: L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers.
"My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of times when I've been going through a personal nightmare."
