Gwen Stefani without her red lipstick is like peanut butter without jelly, salt without pepper and cake without icing, so it's no wonder the mom-of-three looked unrecognizable as she strolled through New York City on November 15.
The No Doubt singer wore her blond hair straight in a middle part, and rocked a plaid shirt with a mini corduroy skirt, fishnet tights, and an oversized shearling bomber jacket with cowboy boots.
Swarmed by cameras as she filmed a new project, Gwen was all smiles after a busy day of press for her new album in Bouquet.

Bouquet is the fifth studio album by Gwen – her first since 2017's You Make It Feel Like Christmas — and included the duet with "Purple Irises" with husband Blake Shelton.

They successfully worked on blending their families, with Gwen mom to sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo, and the pair were spotted earlier in the month cheering on her youngest at his football game.
Gwen, 55, stepped out in a colorful striped t-shirt paired with ripped blue jeans and beige shoes for the game, opting to wear her bright blonde hair up in a tight bun. Middle son Zuma was also there to cheer on his brother.
"If I could have a repeat of these past 10 years, [that] would be perfect," Blake said in April 2024 of the past decade and the privilege of watching his stepsons grow up.

He then quipped: "But we still have Apollo, so we have another almost 10 years before we can kick him out, so it should be a lot of fun."

"He took Richie on and raised him from the time he was one-year-old, and my brother never thought of my dad as anything other than his dad," he said.
"The example that my dad set for me was that [a child] was not even a consideration [in a romantic partnership]. 'You got three boys? Awesome!' My dad did it."
