Gwen Stefani Interview 1996

While touring with her band No Doubt in Japan in 1996, Gwen talks about the inspiration for her fashion style.

[@billienewsom8265]

She has a really distinctive way of speaking that makes her interviews kind of addictive

[@karlh8206]

Sounds exactly like Kat Dennings!!!

[@Philmoscowitz]

Melissa Villasenor really does a great job capturing that way of speaking. It's actually better than Gwen STefanny herself.

[@TheGravygun]

it's called California sing talk

[@SamanthaEcho]

That's because she's very genuine. She doesn't seem jaded at all by fame or stuck up. She seems like she's just exploring her interests and grateful to be there. There's an innocence and a vulnerability to her that's really unlike any other celebrity. It's so touching. I love Gwen forever.

[@michaeljoshuabach1987]

Yeah! I get Brittany Murphy vibes from her In this video

[@keshealm]

it's crazy that she's almost 30 years old here and looks 15. Smh good genes man.

[@Alice-ov3rd]

+keshealm Actually she's in her 40s!

[@crysdee461]

+Alice Rose now she is. But in this video she's in her late 20s.

[@andressantana3531]

keshealm 30 30 isn’t old

[@scarrillo232]

Oh wow! I thought she was like 18 here!! CRAZY

[@gamingph8614]

mee too, i thought she's in late 18th's here

[@cookiesNcream1918]

She's like 27 here and she looks 16! Amazing.

[@donbeck8835]

Cee C Now she’s near 50 and looks 30

[@ehgmail]

@@donbeck8835 Depends on her makeup. She looks way younger when she wears nude lips and is light on the makeup. She seems to look older with the red lip and heavier makeup.

[@bender3731]

she looks exactly the same today. she never ages

[@queenofthehated13]

True, she's a vampire 😂😂😂😂😂👿👿👿👿

[@whichonespink333]

yes botox is a magical thing

[@obsessivelocust]

She looks like a surgery addict now.

[@lilymae7516]

Wish she didn't touch the botox tho.

[@fabpuff7741]

She never tries to fit in rather she embraces herself and her uniqueness and that made her shine the most. She’s humble and real. Not arrogant or someone who pleases people. I wish Gwen would live forever. She’s my inspiration.

[@Connie1Fan]

I agree, she always changes her wardrobe with time, they evolve with her surroundings... I think is how open she is, never afraid to express her taste no matter other opinions, she is truly a UNICORN, very unique and special 💖

[@DanijeI]

That's what she used to be

[@alohafromthe3033]

@@DanijeIExactly. USED is the operative word. She was my childhood idol & I want to still like her but I just can’t. She didn’t even invite Tony, Tom, & Adrian to her wedding. Now talking about a reunion. Why? Funds drying up? Just a cash grab.

[@ehgmail]

@@alohafromthe3033 Tom is the one who approached Gwen about Coachella. Gwen is worth around 175M. She doesn't need the cash. The boys do as they haven't done a damn thing in the last 8 years.

[@aqilan.6315]

How cute was she back then?! So adorable. Like a little kitten

[@MrMaj5757]

But a wild cat onstage. I love her!

[@leegsy]

She seems very unpretentious and utterly adorable.

[@SamanthaEcho]

Amen.

[@piteusx8440]

She is. A kind soul. Gavin Rossdale broke her. That asshole didn't deserve her.

[@TylerMusicBoi]

"I wouldn't consider myself a designer at all" 10 years later she's a designer! :)

[@Joe22c]

1:55 "Japan is crazy for fashion, Oh my God, I thought I was crazy, but man!" Ahh the foreshadowing. And I know it's been mentioned a dozen times before, but OMG! She's so cute here. She's like the girl I've known from high school that's just so sweet. It's amazing to contrast her on-stage persona, striding and exuding confidence and sexuality with this sweethearted, nervous-laughter, girl!

[@oxforddictonary]

she's adorrrrrable here. But my god, she's grown and changed and matured like crazy in the last 16 years !!! Amazing what time can do......rock on gwen !

[@RocRoyalLovesMe1433]

i love the fact that she isnt spending like 10,000 dollars on a frikkin shirt or a dress .. she is just a normal person ! i love her ! thumbs up if you agree(:

[@emmamay1984]

Can’t deal with her cuteness. Thirty years later still so down to earth.

[@southernbarfly]

I miss that girl… and her power!

[@jaym3566]

The dreamiest 90's dream girl. I was so in love with her back then even though I was like 8 years old. Still am all these years later.

[@maskedhombre625]

She is so adorable in this interview

[@danfreeman9079]

She is so humble. A great personality trait. Everything she says not, she is actually the best.

[@Melina-hq3rj]

i don't understand why 12 people came to this video just to dislike it. its not controversial or anything and its not super popular of an interview so they actually had to seek it out. it doesnt make any sense lol..

[@melaniereardon7556]

I love her unique, creative style and she has such an intriguing & cute personality!

[@rmilkyswife]

She is really funny and a great performer and a big heart.

[@silvergems578]

Her voice is beautiful 😍💖

[@wisteria321]

Omg, this is unbelievably cute. Omg her laugh is so cute that i could die. She may have changed style-wise and stuff like that but you can tell that she hasnt changed personality-wise and being herself. That is why i love her. ;)

[@Connie1Fan]

She has such a happy soul 💓

[@richardscott3724]

Gwen explained so much and so quickly. Such a great communication style. She brings us into understand what it is like to be a bud in her band. She is also so humble.

[@SIBIRIAKcom]

oh my god. She's talking about the famous yellow top before going to the stage on the LA concert. This is freaking history. I'm into clothes but this yellow top mark of the era for some people because of the concert video.

[@finbah5706]

Gwen has been the cutest most gorgeous sweet, pure, authentic woman since the 90's.

[@noraemma1823]

Who else misses her "cool days" 😭😭

[@Mrsbehavin59]

What do you mean - she’s still uniquely cool....

[@psychotropictraveler514]

@@Mrsbehavin59 a lot of us just miss No Doubt and the 90s in general

[@Pandabaire3540]

Yeah... I don't feel the same about her after being Blakerized lol

[@PrincessWhatsername]

Gwen was a hipster before it was cool :D

[@G.DD3SS]

yedaperry They don't make them quite like Gwen anymore.

[@ivomuzik]

Gwen was everything before everything.

[@imgay569]

LOOK AT THE QT I CANT BREATHE

[@gloomyharlow]

I'm glad I live in the 90's! Gwen was my hero then as well as Billy Corgan :P

[@auroraborealis6398]

me too ;)

[@midnightdeirdre]

When I was a kid in the 90s I was obsessed with the 50s, lol. Gwen was one of few 90s-things I liked back then. (I’ve even been told I look like her!)

[@derekge5794]

Bands always seem happy on tour in japan. something about it. she's relaxed, friendly, and seems happy here.

[@JustJack66]

yeah, I was just thinking the same thing :) this is one of the greatest gwen interviews I've ever seen... just look how she's down to earth... amazing.

[@er9804]

this is the gwen that I fell in love with!

[@IamKrystalHardwick]

I love her little laugh ♥️ when I was younger, their band’s Tragic Kingdom was the first cd I ever bought.

[@janetphelps8566]

She’s the real deal. Her parents raised her right. She has a lovely family, normal, loving and caring. She thanks GOD, giving him the glory all the time! Like Blake said, just a good human being. Hope you get to read all these beautiful comments! Blake is blessed to grow old with her.

[@SunnyD5]

Love it. I remember seeing that outfit in the "Don't Speak" video from one of their concerts :) I miss No Doubt & Gwen from the 90's :( She was my idol! She was so friggin' cool. Loved it!

[@lizzymartins6188]

Shes so beautiful.

[@themisfitmama4397]

She’s the reason I wore a bindi and urban decay “gash” lipstick everyday in 9th grade. Love this girl

[@buddyguydudeman876]

This is my favorite Gwen. 😍

Predicting her future in fashion design and Japanese harajuku girls!

She’s so cute I love her giggle

[@daniglob8827]

In 8-9 years she makes l.a.m.b and is a designer

[@dahliasdarkside1695]

I think this helps illustrate that at least we know she's the real deal though.

[@m1garand164]

She was a goddess. Gwen Stefani in my opinion is the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. Just the prettiest face ever. I really don't care what she's saying I just see a beautiful happy face and a cute voice and I'm bowled over like a highschool kid

[@Deathlock84]

She has the cutest smile and laugh ever!

wow everything she wanted came true!

gorgeous girl and very very cute :)

[@staythecourse22]

@AngeliaClaire Tony..the bassist..her ex bf..he is from India..his mother really influenced Gwen a lot..and she loved the Bindi's(the dot on the forehead) that Indian women wear...just paying homage to their culture..

I wanna go back to the 90's when no doubt started

[@ccherie2021]

I wish I could go back to 1996.. I was 17. Fun times ♥️I can’t believe Gwen is now 50! Fame really changed her, but she is still so beautiful. Hearing her talk about Japan, you can tell it influenced her solo album and her song Harajuku girls.

She's just such a doll a liitle cuttie and a true Origanal.... I've loved Gwen from the start and man i want 2 go 2 the 90's too I saw someone else said that one this page & I agree!!!! Stuff was just better than clothings music Before the internet even though I'm on it right now I llked it better when people actually went out of there houses & shopped,meet other peple in person ect. Anyway I LOVE HER (gwen)The girl can do no wrong in my eyes just love her aura/personallity/groove/clothing!!!!

i wish she was like this still. she's become really polished in a bad way lately.

[@charlienonya7016]

Erica Moon People are gonna "talk shit" regardless. And they are already. Haha. I just wish she was more down to earth and relaxed. She seems like she's trying to be perfect and it comes off uptight.

[@gamerlady1860]

Life has been rough on her lately.. Lost innocence I'm sure. I love this vid of her especially when she talks about how expensive Japanese clothing is. If she would have know then all the dough she would be someday rolling in lol

[@r.huggins7202]

I agree that when she sings with the band these days she doesn't interact with them like the old days. But I still love Gwen and No Doubt.

[@reason5591]

Aww Charlie, she really hasnt changed much outside of being a mother, Music vocalist, business owner and fashion designer. Still very real and down to earth. My cousin is a big name in the country music industry (highly acclaimed Songwriter Craig Wiseman of BIG LOUD PUBLISHING and Big loud Shirt, BIG LOUD etc etc) and is a friend of Blake Sheltons and has met Gwen and has spent time around them together. My cousin and his wife absolutely adore her and say that she is a very fun, real and nice person.

[@reason5591]

@@gamerlady1860 She buys her clothes at sale prices. She is very frugal shopper. I admire that!

Getting older is awesome! Being a kid/teenager sucked so bad!

[@leahtreck1083]

I so love the original Gwen. Of course I’m still a fan, she just kind of made her face so plastic when she was already drop dead gorgeous. I wish this celebrity,” Every body has to look a certain way,” look would just go away.

[@PINKIEBABY1]

Also, I feel the same way about clothing I have 2 design my own clothing too so no one else has what I'm wearing Like gwen put it's about being a individual and 100% agree! Because that's how I am 2 a tee! I don't just like 2 fit in with the what's the trend of the moment I like2 stay ahead of it Back 2 Gwen she so young here and to fast foward 17years later from interveiw....
