Critics on social media did not react with uniform kindness when Stefani changed her look for the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, eschewing the usual heavy stuff for a more “earthy” approach.
Yet, around the same time on Instagram, she did more (or was it less?) than just take away the bright red lipstick and thick black eyeliner, both of which have become ubiquitous for Stefani over 20-plus years in public view.
She took it all off. She just woke up, and you can tell, but woah. Stefani has never looked sweeter, or even sexier, than she did in a selfie posted on Instagram in May 2016.
