Gwen Stefani shocked fans as she celebrated a milestone birthday looking younger than ever.
The 00s star – behind No Doubt’s biggest hits such as Don’t Speak and Just A Girl – appeared on the Jennifer Hudson Show TikTok account with a birthday sequence as she boogied through the corridors while the crew substituted her name into her hit Hollaback Girl.
The blonde-haired singer – who was wearing a black and pink checked mini skirt, matching blazer and fishnet tights – turned 55 years old on October 3 and marked it in style as she appeared on the If This Isn’t Love hitmaker’s show.
The singer’s fans flocked to the comments of the viral TikTok – which has already hit 2.3 million likes at the time of writing – to discuss her youthful looks.
‘How is she in her 50s??’ @daphney wrote on TikTok.
‘I’m just shook she’s 55 and absolutely does not look a day over 25,’ @nicholaswesolowski said.
‘Can we talk about how this woman doesn’t age?’ @tylerthacurator echoed.
‘There’s no way she’s 55. Ageing like fine wine,’ @bellrebel agreed.
‘I am convinced Gwen Stefani is a vampire because how does she still look this good at almost 55,’ @blackthanos44 shared.
‘I’m sorry, did I step back into the 00s? The woman’s not aged a day,’ @ally wrote.
The Voice judge – who has been married to fellow music artist Blake Shelton since 2021 after they met on the reality series in 2014 – is set to achieve another landmark moment as she gears up to release her first (non-festive) album in eight years, Bouquet.
She has already released two singles from the album, Somebody Else’s and Purple Irises ft Blake Shelton.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, she opened up about her eight-year gap, with her last album (This Is What Truth Feels Like) delving into her new romance with Blake following her divorce.
‘It seems like eight years probably feels like a long time for a lot of people, but for me, it was eight years of healing, eight years of transitioning, it went really fast,’ she told the publication.
The upcoming album, characterised as a ’70s pop rock’, was ‘all the stuff I listened to in the station wagon on the way to church,’ Gwen explained, calling it ‘yacht rock’.
This year also marks 20 years since her debut solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., and she had a Coachella reunion with her No Doubt bandmates (who went on an indefinite hiatus after their last live performance in 2015).
Reflecting on the reunion, Gwen added: ‘It was magic, it was beyond what you could imagine it felt like. It felt like a big wave of love crashing on me.’
‘It felt like riding a bike as well with the guys. We hadn’t really spent that much time together in the last nine years, and it felt like the olden days, getting back together. There was so much love, and it marked how much impact that we’ve had.’
As well as drinking from the fountain of eternal youth and releasing new music, Gwen is also just as in love with her husband as ever.
‘The thing about Blake is that you’ll never get through a day without laughing,” Gwen told Jennifer in a sweet moment during their interview.
‘You know what I mean? Which is just – it doesn’t even matter like what’s going on. The guy has so much patience, and so much kindness in his heart. It just makes you happier every single day.’
