Gwen Stefani knows how to turn heads, and she did just that at the ‘Opry 100: A Live Celebration’ event in Nashville, where she performed alongside her husband, country superstar Blake Shelton. The No Doubt frontwoman stunned in a sheer mini-dress paired with fishnet stockings and high-heeled boots, a bold look that had fans and fashion critics alike buzzing.
Stefani, 54, took the stage with her signature confidence, exuding rockstar glam with a country twist. The dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and shimmering embellishments, caught the stage lights perfectly, adding an extra sparkle to her performance. The fishnet stockings and thigh-high boots added an edgy touch, staying true to Stefani’s punk-inspired roots while seamlessly blending with the glitz of the Grand Ole Opry.
As photos and videos of her performance flooded social media, reactions were mixed. Some fans praised her daring outfit, calling her a “timeless queen” who continues to push fashion boundaries. “Gwen Stefani never ages, and she always knows how to own the stage,” one Twitter user wrote. Others appreciated how she effortlessly merged her signature style with the traditional country setting, proving that fashion knows no genre boundaries.
However, as with any bold fashion choice, not all feedback was positive. Some critics felt that Stefani’s outfit was too risqué for the historic Opry stage, where conservative styles have typically dominated. “She’s talented, but that outfit just doesn’t fit the Grand Ole Opry’s vibe,” one social media commenter noted. Another added, “It feels like she’s bringing too much Hollywood to Nashville.”
Despite the online debate, Stefani seemed unfazed, sharing backstage moments with Shelton and other performers, all while radiating joy. Shelton, who opted for a classic black suit and cowboy boots, proudly stood by her side, showcasing their undeniable chemistry both on and off stage. The couple even performed their duet “Happy Anywhere,” receiving a roaring ovation from the audience.
Stefani’s bold style statement is nothing new—throughout her decades-long career, she has consistently pushed fashion norms, whether in the punk scene of the ‘90s, the pop world of the 2000s, or now as a crossover country artist. Her appearance at ‘Opry 100’ was yet another example of her fearless approach to both music and fashion.
As the conversation around her outfit continues, one thing remains clear: Gwen Stefani is a powerhouse who refuses to conform. Whether she’s rocking fishnets at the Grand Ole Opry or dazzling in couture on the red carpet, she remains unapologetically herself. Love it or hate it, her presence at the ‘Opry 100’ celebration proved once again why she is one of music’s most dynamic performers.
In the end, the night wasn’t just about fashion—it was about celebrating a century of country music, and Stefani, alongside Shelton, delivered a performance to remember. And if the buzz surrounding her outfit is any indication, she certainly left her mark on the iconic stage.
