It seems lately I have been getting lost in the black hole that is YouTube videos, and my particular weapon of choice seems to be music videos. More specifically, Gwen Stefani music videos. Now I know everybody is familiar with the infamous "Hollaback Girl" song and music video, Gwen as a pseudo-marching band conductor in a ripped white tank top and cargo shorts, iconic. However, the amount of under-appreciated and seemingly forgotten Gwen Stefani music videos seems to me too astounding in the modern day to not bring here. So, here are the best Gwen Stefani music videos. And yes No Doubt will be briefly included in this list even though it is a band and not Gwen as a solo act.
1. Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani ft. Eve
2. Simple Kind of Life - No Doubt
This video has everything, Gwen's glorious pink hair days, iconic red lipstick, out-of-this-world outfits, and interwoven wedding themes. Simply amazing.
As Gwen sings about a yearning for a "simple kind of life" where she "could be a wife" she's seen hanging around different male members of the band at different points in time and also interwoven into these hangouts she is seen running around with crazy curled hair in a wedding dress.
Yes, it seems like a lot to take in but it's just great. More than anything my favorite outfit worn in the whole music video is about...one minute and five seconds in. Gwen is wearing a sparkly purple tank top with purple gaucho/skirt pants (so 1999) with pink, heeled leather go-go boots and her pink hair and red lipsticks.
I mean it truly cannot get any better than that. In the end though, as Gwen stands in her wedding dress and all the male members of the band beckon to her in their tuxes she picks up a baby that's right next to her and walks away. Women power. She realizes she can have that simple kind of life without the help of a man, good for you Gwen.
3. Cool - Gwen Stefani
