GWEN Stefani has showed off her toned stomach and ageless face in an Instagram video after fans called the star “unrecognizable” on The Voice.
Gwen, 55, is a coach on The Voice alongside Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Michael Buble.
But when she’s not discovering her talent, she’s focusing on her own music, including her new song Swallow My Tears.
Gwen posted a video of her and her team celebrating the latest drop ahead of her album release for Bouquet.
In the video, Gwen zoomed in on her ageless face and showed off her bare stomach in a white crop top.
“Right now we’re celebrating and everyone is over, look,” she said as she panned the camera to her guests.
Gwen looked stunning, as she returned to her signature long blonde locks.
‘TOTALLY DIFFERENT
But earlier this week, fans were stunned over her drastic appearance, as she sported a wig with bangs.
Although most of her followers rushed to compliment her, some felt the singer didn’t need to be styled so much as she is a “natural beauty.”
Taking to social media, one wrote, “Gwen Stefani, you look so much better without all that hair and makeup.”
A second replied, “I love Gwen but why so many physical changes… lips, nose etc. Gwen you were beautiful naturally before.”
A third said, “She almost looks like Sabrina Carpenter!”
The Voice’s Gwen Stefani shocks fans with ‘totally different’ look on show as viewers insist ‘she was a natural beauty!’
NEW VOICE?
The U.S. Sun previously reported how the NBC competition show has changed from its goal of discovering new talent, as fans tune in to see coaches like Gwen instead of potential talent.
A source told The U.S. Sun, “The Voice has more in common with pro wrestling than a legitimate talent competition at this point.
“It’s about seeing famous personalities from back in the day mix it up and show unexpected sides of themselves,” the insider said of the coaches. “It’s a little sad that it’s not a place to see future pop stars anymore.
“But even on this diminished scale, it can still make money and still get people talking. There’s a reason it’s lasted this long, and it’s the vibrant mix of hosts, not the contestants.”
The insider continued, “It’s becoming a bit of a ‘Dancing With the Stars’-style project filled with nostalgia for the recent pop culture past.
“Nobody’s turning on the show to discover a future pop star anymore. The format has evolved past that, and that’s reflected in this updated cast.”
The source added, “This show is about hanging out for an hour a week with the huge artists you grew up with, and nobody is pretending that isn’t the reason people are tuning in!”
VIEWERS’ VOICE
On The Voice’s Instagram page, fans have admitted to tuning in to see the coaches instead of the contestants.
Another viewer wrote, “I’ve been watching since the first season. This is the best group of coaches ever. Snoop is already hilarious.
“Snoop and Reba a combo I never knew I needed in my life. I have loved Gwen for years. And Buble is fantastic. Please keep these four!”
A third commented, “You started the night off with a BANG #snoopdogg. You are the BEST!!!
“Love your spirit and you have made The Voice so much FUN to watch this year!!!!”
There are very few comments about the actual contestants on the show.
Gwen reportedly makes $13 million for the seasons she has appeared on.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Timeline
Blake, 47, and Gwen, 52, began dating in 2015 after meeting on the set of the NBC reality show The Voice.
Both were fresh out of lengthy failed marriages.
After a five-year relationship, the celebrity couple got engaged in 2020.
The Hollaback Girl singer announced their engagement on social media as she flashed her blinged-out hand while sharing a kiss with her hubby.
Blake also shared the same picture on his Instagram, writing, “Hey Gwen, thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!”
Less than a year later, on July 3, 2021, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Blake’s Oklahoma ranch.
The two seem to have now found their forever loves, after leaving a trail of drama from past relationships behind them.
LOVED UP GWEN
Gwen is married to country crooner Blake Shelton.
“The thing about Blake is that you’ll never get through a day without laughing,” she recently said during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson show.
“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.”
Gwen also recently hinted at exciting new career news with her husband.
The Hollaback Girl singer confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing a first look at her album cover.
In the picture, Gwen is seen laying on a motel bed in a brown plaid suit and a cowboy hat, staring at the camera while holding a single long-stemmed white rose.
Fittingly, the album will be called Bouquet and seems to suggest she will be heading towards a more country sound for the new tracks.
Alongside the snaps she wrote, “My fifth studio album, ‘Bouquet’, will be in full bloom on November 15th”
