Stefani has always marched to the beat of her own drum and somehow made braces look cool!

In case you needed any more evidence, I present: Gwen’s 1997 MTV Video Music Awards outfit. Complete with fuzzy bra and matching blue hair.

Sure, we’ve been seeing a lot of unique makeup looks lately thanks to Euphoria, but here’s a reminder that Stefani practically invented bedazzling your own face. Oh, and glitter hair.

Bantu knots! Pigtails! You’d be hard pressed to name a woman who defined the late ’90s/early 2000s hair game quite like Stefani.

And when she wasn’t showing off her hair, she was wearing very big hats.

From the translucent shoes to the low-rise bell bottoms, to the belt, studded bag and bracelets — this outfit screams early 2000s.

She has become known for her platinum blonde locks, a look she still rocks today.

Stefani also loved to take a walk on the wild side, experimenting with prints.

No one pulls off a glam look quite like the “Don’t Speak” singer. Here she is at the 1997 American Music Awards, sporting a black feather boa.

She even found a way to dress up her favorite article of clothing: the bikini top.

She’d often pair it with a tie. You know, to show everyone that she meant business — and to draw attention to her incredible abs.

If midriff baring was a sport, Gwen Stefani would be an Olympic athlete.

Sometimes, she would even layer her bikini tops with a tank. Maybe she was feeling more conservative when she rocked this look in 2002.

She’s just a girl … performing at the Super Bowl in 2003, in a bra top.

Is that Marilyn Monroe or Gwen Stefani? This photo from the 2001 Grammy Awards made us do a double-take.

Whether it’s red lipstick or a mesh red top, the color does wonders for the singer.

And has been her go-to over the years. We challenge you to find a photo of Stefani without a pop of red somewhere in her outfit.

All hail the Queen of the Bold Red Lip.
