It's hard to believe, but Gwen Stefani's hit solo album "The Sweet Escape" came out a decade ago on Dec. 1, 2016. In honor of its 10th anniversary, Wonderwall.com is taking a look at how Gwen's style has changed over the years, from those punk-influenced early ensembles to her most glam moments in more recent years. Let's start with this look at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. Gwen attended the show in a light blue bikini top and a skirt over pants. She paired the ensemble with platform flip flops and had her matching light blue hair styled in pigtail buns to complete the unique look.

In 2001, Gwen Stefani wore her own version of a tuxedo to the first annual BET Awards in Las Vegas. The jacket was embellished with a white flower and left unbuttoned to show off her white bra with a black bow in the middle. Her accessories were the best part of this look! The cane and that giant "G" necklace made her look like a total boss.
