You can always count on Gwen Stefani to steal the show wherever she goes. The 54-year-old music and fashion icon recently overshadowed her husband, Blake Shelton, the evening’s honoree, at the 27th Annual Power of Love Gala hosted by Keep Memory Alive in Las Vegas.
Shelton received recognition for his contributions in promoting and raising funds for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, which supports and finances research on neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
Blake went with his go-to semi-formal look of jeans, a black jacket, a black shirt, and brown loafers, but Gwen’s sparkly outfit was the true scene stealer, in my opinion.

Disco-Ready in Albina Dyla Mini Dress
Gwen, who never shies away from attention-grabbing ensembles, dazzled in a silver mini dress by Kosovo-based brand Albina Dyla, renowned for producing trendy yet luxurious handmade apparel from the finest embellished textiles.
Her $1,199 sparkling minidress strikes the perfect mix between daring and modest with its see-through sheer panels, modest high neck, structured shoulders, and long sleeves. I love the subtle display of abs and cleavage through the elaborate design, which is dripping with shimmering crystal tassels, beads, and stones, letting The Aviator actress sparkle in every direction.
Though I’m not too fond of heavily embellished gowns, Gwen looks great. Her glittery mini dress fits her toned figure well and enhances her radiant beauty. I adore the asymmetrical hem with beaded fringes accentuating her toned legs and giving the ensemble a disco-ready vibe.

Stomping in Style with Gedebe’s Crystal Stocking Boots
If I had to take one item out, it would be the nude fishnet stockings. They appear outdated; I think the ensemble would have looked better without them.
I also don’t think they complement Gwen’s Gedebe “Logan Cuissarde” boots. In my opinion, the idea behind the boots is to give the impression that the wearer’s legs are covered with crystals. The shaft, which appears to be made of nude stockings, should blend in perfectly with the skin. Unfortunately, Gwen failed to achieve that effect.
Nevertheless, I think her legging boots—which I initially thought were pantaboots—are great; they perfectly capture the opulence of the Italian fashion label. Crystals are scattered all over the thigh-high boots, with pointed toes and thin stiletto heels.
Their thin shaft, which resembles a stocking, fits the leg like a second skin. The Gedebe Logan Cuissarde thigh-thigh boots are available in various colors at Farfetch.

Gwen Stefani’s Signature Glam
The former No Doubt vocalist opted for her signature glam look. Her straightened platinum hair fell gracefully down her back, tucked behind one ear, and parted to one side.
She used thick eyeliner, feathery faux lashes, and bronze shimmer to draw attention to her eyes. For a pop of color, she added a sweep of rosy blush on her cheeks and a smear of her signature bold red lipstick.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani at The Fall Guy Premiere
A few weeks ago, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani showed their support for Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt as they attended the Los Angeles premiere of their movie, The Fall Guy.
Shelton wore his trademark scruffy appearance, but what caught me off guard was that he wore almost the same black shirt, jeans, and brown shoes from the Power of Love Gala.
Naturally, Gwen showcased another playful look; I love how it pays homage to her Harajuku era sans the curly blonde hair.

Stefani chose a ’90s aesthetic, dressing in green Vivienne Westwood tartan co-ords. The ensemble included a tartan cotton and linen blazer, $1,850 at Mytheresa, with a peplum waist, brown buttons, and padded shoulders.
She paired it with its matching “Meghan” kilt, $1,120 at Mytheresa, and black honeycomb fishnet stockings, adding sensually to the otherwise modest blazer top.
Ever the maximalist dresser, Gwen teamed the look with statement black ankle boots that Andreas Kronthaler designed for Vivienne Westwood’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection.
The footwear—a perfect conversation starter—has faux goat hair peeking out from the lining around the ankle. They also feature 2.5-inch elevated platforms and 6-inch angled block heels, significantly increasing Stefani’s 5’6” height.

She styled the look with statement gold necklaces, a Christian Dior Vintage Street Chic Columbus Bag in Le Victim, and a large XIV Karats Ltd Emerald Diamond ring.
Wearing straight, long blonde hair, Gwen ditched her signature red lipstick for a nude lip gloss and completed her glam with mascara and blue eyeshadow.
