Gwen Stefani has rocked many hairstyles on The Voice throughout the years. Here are some of her most memorable beauty moments.
Gwen Stefani has become a fixture on The Voice since she joined NBC’s competition show in 2014, not only sharing her expert tips and guidance as a Coach but also serving up lots of style inspiration. Indeed, over the course of eight seasons, the “Just a Girl” singer has stunned with her chic outfits and many hairstyles.
Stefani first joined The Voice as a Coach in Season 7 and has gone on to return in Seasons 9, 12, 17, 19, 22, 24, and 26. The No Doubt frontwoman and style icon’s signature bright blonde hair has appeared in every season, but how it’s styled or the addition of a new color has changed up year after year. In a 2015 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Stefani said she’s able to pull off so many fun and wild hairstyles because “everything is fake.” When asked what her real hair looks like, she said with a laugh, “Who knows? I haven’t seen it since ninth grade.”
Read on to look through photos of Stefani’s most memorable and gorgeous hairstyles on The Voice, including a dramatic color change in one season.

Just weeks later during the Battles round, Stefani debuted a brand new hairstyle featuring bangs and loose curls.
Stefani has previously said she’s always loved fashion — whether it’s clothes, makeup, or hair — and was inspired to be creative with it thanks to other style icons.
“You know how you kind of can’t explain why you have passions for certain things? I just always was that girl who was into style and makeup,” she told Vogue in 2016. “I can remember getting into high school and getting into music and that’s probably when it really started. My mom was quite fashionable, and she grew up in the ’60s, which was such an amazing time period for [style]. Then [I got] into ska music, which was a nod to the ’60s and ’70s … I got really into thrift store shopping, really discovered Marilyn Monroe and James Dean and started watching every single old movie.”
