Gwen Stefani InStyle Magazine April 2010

Gwen Stefani is rockin the cover of the April 2010 issue of InStyle magazine in a Stella McCartney top.

Check out some highlights from her interview and CLICK HERE for a behind-the-scenes video where she says she likes to “get dressed up every day and go out.”

On being stylish:  “Style is just something that comes from within you.  The funny thing about style is I don’t really like to talk about it, I like to just do it. I love designing clothes and I love to wear them. Every opportunity I can, which is pretty much every day of my life, I like to get dressed up. It’s just something I’ve done every since I can remember.”

On why she stepped away from music and decided to take on other tasks like her L.A.M.B. label and create a fragrance:  “I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I’m not performing anymore.  Let’s be realistic: it’s not going to be like this forever. So I wanted to continue having something creative to do.”

“I have to be creative to be happy,”I don’t have a strong sense of self-worth unless I’m doing something. I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen — that was when I started feeling good in my life.”

On if she ever goes without lipstick: “No, I wear it all the time. I wear pink, I wear gloss, I wear everything, but my husband prefers when I wear red, so I want him to like me still!”
