You probably recognize Stefani from her major hits in the early 2000s, such as 'The Sweet Escape,' 'Hollaback Girl,' and 'Rich Girl.'

After achieving significant success in the music industry, the 54-year-old diversified her interests and became a familiar presence in the entertainment world.

The ex-No Doubt lead singer has transitioned into a role as a judge on the music television series The Voice and has also introduced her own makeup brand, GXVE Beauty.

Moreover, there's another significant factor contributing to Stefani's continued presence in the public eye.

Throughout the decades that the 'Just a Girl' singer has been in the limelight, she appears to defy the aging process!

Yet, in the past few months, signs of imperfection in Stefani's flawless facade may have begun to emerge.

The artist behind 'What You Waiting For?' made a guest appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, leaving people utterly astonished by her appearance – but not in a positive way.

Stefani seems to have debuted a completely new look, and it's not receiving unanimous approval.

Before, Gwen has openly addressed her seemingly timeless appearance.

During a Carpool Karaoke segment with James Corden, she was questioned about the secret to maintaining such a youthful appearance at the age of 54.

Stefani explained: "What happened was my life blew up and after that, I kind of started falling in love. Then I wrote a whole record about that."

"That's like what the facelift is, I think."

During her interview with Seth Meyers to endorse her makeup line, the audience's attention was completely diverted.

Stefani appeared noticeably altered from her usual self, leading to widespread speculation about the reason behind the transformation.

"Unrecognisable," someone commented.

While another added: "I am so sorry to say this, but I did not recognise her. Please Gwen, STOP!"

A third commented: "I didn't even notice who she was. I was like no that's not her and I looked up recent videos of her. Yeah… That's really Gwen. Please stop. No more surgeries."

Meanwhile, someone made an unfavorable comparison to Donatella Versace.

"I'm a lifelong fan of Gwen's and I didn't recognise her. I'm so confused," agreed someone else.

While another joked: "Could have given me 100 guesses who that was from the thumbnail alone and I'd have never guessed Gwen Stefani…"

Stefani has previously addressed her perception of ageism within the entertainment industry.

In 2021, she shared her thoughts on returning to the music scene with Hello! Magazine.

"At the beginning of this process, I feel like I had to make excuses for why I wanted to make new music. I felt like people were going to judge me and be like, 'Well, you're like super old. Why would you even want to?'" she said.

"This is just how my brain works. Anyone would, you know what I mean? Everybody has their own fears or insecurities."
