Let’s take a moment to appreciate Gwen Stefani. She’s a style icon, totally (multi) talented, and she’s probably an amazing mother. At 40 years old Gwen looks fabulous. Most of us could never pull off this look even in our 20′s, but she makes it work. Every element (hair, makeup, shoes) is as close to perfection as it gets. The one element of Gwen’s outfit that we can really embrace at any age is adding a slight bit of snakeskin.
