Gwen Stefanis NYC weekend: SNL, space pants and fishnet body stockings
Gwen Stefani, still promoting “This is What the Truth Feels Like” took the Big Apple by storm this weekend, and even had time to pull off an April Fool’s gag. I hate April Fool’s Day with a passion, it’s such a pointless “holiday.” Gwen marked the occasion by instagramming a ultrasound of a baby with the caption, “It’s a girl.” Fans of Gwen and beau Blake Shelton went gaga, until they realized she was just kidding. The prank backfired a bit, as some fans didn’t think the stunt was funny at all. Some of the comments she received from her followers included, “Used to be a fan, but you should know better than to make such an insensitive joke.” and “What about your fans that have infertility trouble or have suffered pregnancy losses?” It was just a dumb prank, I’m sure she probably didn’t mean any harm, it was just kind of lame. But so is April Fool’s Day.
Also on Friday, Gwen made an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert wearing a very WTF – and revealing – outfit. In a look that I’m sure was making a statement, that statement to me was “I overslept and packed really fast, hopefully I can make this work,” Gwen paired a black bra with a huge collar necklace, high-waisted fishnet stockings, camo capris and a long coat. Uhhh…okay. Say something nice: I like the shoes.
On Saturday, Gwen hit 30 Rock, where she was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, and took part in the most…unusual…sketch of the night with host Peter Dinklage. If you missed it, please enjoy “Space Pants”.
Well, that was weird, although Peter Dinklage’s wig and song stylings are kind of magical, don’t you agree? One person who certainly enjoyed the sketch was Gwen’s significant other, Blake Shelton. After the sketch, he tweeted, “Hey @gwenstefani… Please wear space pants when you get back home!!! Ha!!!!” I think, in the “fair is fair” category, Blake needs to wear that blond wig. And space pants, of course.
Hey @gwenstefani… Please wear space pants when you get back home!!! Ha!!!!

Gwen performed 2 songs from her new album on the show, one about her ex, Gavin Rossdale, “Misery,” and one about Blake, the insanely catchy “Make Me Like You.” Blake also tweeted his delight over Gwen’s performance, but the song he called out was a bit of a surprise. “Wow… @gwenstefani performance of ‘misery’.. Brilliant,” he posted.
Gwen posted photos on Instagram with SNL’s Pete Davidson and show alum Adam Sandler. And, yes, she also posted pics of the now infamous space shorts.
At the SNL after party, Gwen once again brought the WTF to NYC, in a Sheer top and colorful tweed skirt with sheer panels and a random ruffle. In a surprise move, Gwen swapped her trademark red lipstick with a more muted shade and paired her outfit with classic patent leather Christian Louboutin pumps – the only thing I dug about this ensemble.
I get it, she’s a fashionista, but the only thing I’ve even remotely liked that she’s worn this past weekend were the space shorts. I do think that Gwen has now hit every single promotional outlet, so maybe she and Blake could head off to Oklahoma for a while now? Please?
