Not one to miss a trend, Gwen Stefani, No Doubt’s It-girl lead singer
has joined the growing club of celebrity multitaskers. (From singing
and acting to hawking fragrances and clothing, when do these
moonlighters sleep?) Not only is this busy singer recording her first
solo project, she has successfully launched a line of handbags for
Le Sportsac as a preview to her own line called L.A.M.B (Love,
Angel, Music, Baby), which hits the runway this spring.
Another important launch for 2004: Stefani is joining the glittering
ranks of singers-turned-actors by debuting as Jean Harlow
— one of Hollywood’s ultimate style icons — in Martin Scorsese’s
highly anticipated and star-studded The Aviator. This period
piece about the life of movie producer Howard Hughes features
the glamorous fashions and architecture of the ’30s and ’40s.
Gwen didn’t have to step too far out of costume for the role: a
scarlet mouth and platinum hair have been her signatures since
she hit the music scene more than a decade ago.
