A dramatic hair change often follows a major life change — even forGwen Stefani.While breaking down six of her most iconic looks over the years in a new video forVogue, the singer revealed that the spunky pink hair she rocked in 1999 at the VH1/VogueFashion Awards marked a transitional period in her personal life.“So, what happened with the pink hair?” Stefani, 50, says in the clip. “It’s so true: if you go through a breakup or a really big change in your life, sometimes you go ahead and change your hair to try to, I don’t know, wash whatever feelings those are out of your hair.”Evan Agostini/Getty; Tyler Golden/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversa/Getty“I was really confused at this time,” she adds. “I was 29 years old. I was really confused about my relationship. I didn’t know who I was. I had come off a long long tour. I had gotten famous. I got to buy a house. I got to move out of my parent’s house. So much had happened.”At the time, Stefani was the lead singer and only female member ofNo Doubt, a rock band whose hit single“Don’t Speak”topped theBillboard Hot 100 chartsfor 16 weeks in 1995. Despite her new-found fame, Stefani toldVoguethat she had full creative control of her look — and admits she usedManic Panicbox hair dye to achieve the bold color.Robert Gauthier/Getty Images“I didn’t have any budgets.
