I've always thought gwen looked a lot like madonna. the first time i saw her–on tv, in the no duobt video, don't speak–i was confused for a sec before i realized that she was some new chic not madonna with a face lift:-)

So their hair is the same, so what. Everything else is wayyyyyyyy different, and Gwen definitely pulls of the hair better.

Re: linz –

no Madonna STOLE BJORK's hairstyle.She is not original she's a copycat.

I totally thought the other post with just Gwen's picture was Madonna at first glance!
Rachel says – reply to this

27

I remember seeing an interview with Madonna saying she wished Gwen would seek originality, siting her marrying a Brit. The laughable thing was, Gwen had been with Gavin Rossdale for over 6 years when she married him. Madonna had just married Guy Ritchie. At any rate ~ they're artists and it's no wonder they do things alike. They're both Italians too! Cicone/Stefani.

I always love the way Gwen looks even in the pink hair stage, but I'm just not feelin this pic, she doesnt look like herself almost scary! So I guess I'd have to say Madonna.

once upon a time ago Gwen was a part of an awesome ska/alt rock band. I miss those days…..
Suzanne Sherrod says – reply to this

32

To be fair, Gwen probably didn't have a lot of input as this was for a magazine and not for her own line, L.A.M.B. They have stylists on hand you know, so it was THEIR idea. Don't blame Gwen and besides that, how many are actually going to remember what Madge looked like 1992? Her look changes so much that it's hard to keep up what she's done and what she hasn't. I don't think it's right to criticize Gwen so much when she herself had her own followers back in the day! When she arrived, she looked all her own.

Madonna was NOT stealing Bjork's style…She was doing an homage to Little Bo Peep. Idiots…Do your research…Bjork wasn't even around on an international level in 1992

MADONNA didnt steal that look from Bjork! That pic is circa 1992 from the Sex book era. Bjork did it in 1993 with her 1st solo cd, debut. Learn ur shit, bitches!

Re: idc – YOU'RE AN IDIOT. BJORK WAS ALREADY A HIT WITH HER BAND "THE SUGARCUBES BEFORE 1992. SHE BLEW UP EVEN BIGGER AFTER THEY SPLIT. MADONNA AND GWEN WISH THEY HAD HALF THE TALENT OF BJORK.

fake bitches says – reply to this

62

ALL OF YOU NEED TO DIE ALREADY. V MAGAZINE HAS THEIR OWN ARTISTIC DIRECTORS WHO HAVE STYLISTS WHO MAKE THEIR DREAMS TRANSLATE TO THE CAMERA. WE DON'T KNOW THAT GWEN EVEN SUGGESTED THIS HAIRSTYLE. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS SOME GAY MAN PROBABLY WORKED AS THE A.D. AND SOME OTHER FAG STYLED THE BITCH CAUSE GOD KNOWS FAGS DON'T THINK ANYTHING IS AMAZING UNLESS IT'S BEEN DONE (STOLEN) BY MADONNA. SO BLAME FAGS WHEN YOU SEE THESE TIRED PAPER DOLLS MOCKING EACH OTHER'S LOOKS.

I LOVE GWEN BUT SHE'S ALWAYS HAD AN ANNOYING HABIT OF COPYING MADONNA…AND SINCE MADONNA ALWAYS DOES IT BETTER…YOU'D THINK DEAR GWEN WOULD STOP COPYING HER AND COME UP WITH MORE OF HER OWN IDEAS.

Re: WACK HER ALREADY – FUCK YOU, YOU STINKIN HISTORY EXPERT…WHO CARES WHO DID WHAT CENTURUES AGO, MADONNA MADE IT CURRENT AND GWEN'S JUST COPYING…YOU ON THE OTHER HAND SHOULD SIMPLY SHUT THE FUCK UP, GRAB THAT 16 INCH DILDO SITTING NEXT TO YOU, AND SHOVE IT COMPLETELY UP YOUR…I'M SURE…TOTALLY STRETCHED OUT ASSHOLE.

Gwen just takes what already has been done and tries to make it her own. That's like so genius! She real smart and designs her own clothes too! NOT!
sarah says – reply to this

71

Madonna's had just about EVERY look going at some point in her career, you can practically match her up with anyone.

Gwen is fab though.
JohnnyDo says – reply to this

72

I like gwen stefani, but she looks a bit sickly in this pic… either that, or a FLASHDANCE (the movie) fanatic.
rosieluvsperez says – reply to this

73

yeah but madonna had to get that look off somewhere as well - she doesn't make up everything lol. Madonna looks like a porceline doll, and im sure they were out before she was hahaha
DALE says – reply to this

74

Luckely Stefani can distract people with shity fashion,because her "music" sucks balls "wind it up" "hollaback girl".
Kate says – reply to this

75

sorry but I'm just going to say it. Gwen Stefani is all hype. If you look over the years and do a side by side, she has practically mirrored all of Madonna's past looks. I just don't get the hype with this one at all.
fuckyouperez says – reply to this

76

Perez your brain was separated at birth. stupid comparison. yes gwen said: "i want that exactly madonna look!" i can't stand you and the mean comments all over this blog.
Mooshy says – reply to this

77

Re: Joe – I have nothing against Madonna but I hate how she gets more credit than she deserves. You have to consider that half of Madge's "trend setting fashions" were actually just looks she ripped off from obscure artists that had faded away.

So don't go bashing Gwen when she looks like Madonna.
Xyston says – reply to this

78

Madonna looks so much better - Gwen's a wannabe skank
fuckyouperez says – reply to this

79

to start with Madonna and Gwen are not related. Gwen was kidding once about her gradma or something having the surname "ciccone" and said laughing that she was madonna's distant cousin. of course they're not. gwen confirmed later she was kidding.
2nd the only similar thing i see in that pic is the hair. and who did tell you Madonna invented that specific hairstyle? really, you guys and perez how old are you??? stop complaining about this sh!t because perez is just looking for drama and a way to keep his trashy blog up.

Shamila says – reply to this

83

OMG THEY'RE SOO DIFFERENT IN THOSE PICTURES!! PEREZ UR BLIND OR WHAT?!¬¬
FIRST: Gwen never ever copy madonna ! if you are not a gwen fan u can't
say that, cause u don't know why she uses certain clothes or certain hairstyles..
SECOND: they're NOT family! Gwen said that, omg you people are so stupid!
THIRD: she doesn't like madonna and she never got inspired by her, gwen is more into Bjork, Cindy Lauper and punk and ska influences most of all!! but NOT MADONNA OH MY GOSH SHE SUCKS! she is just a pop singer nothing more than that …

Olive says – reply to this

85

Excuse me, but if anyone has ever been to a German biergarten, you'd know that this look has been around for WAY longer than Madonna. Sorry, but the world does not start and end with Madonna, and (although she may think otherwise) not everyone wants to BE her.

Madmoiselle says – reply to this

90

You're all idiots on the net! If Madonna did this look a year ago then maybe I would say Gwen was copying but you all forgot that fashion is always reinventing itself and Madonna did it in 1992. I'm the hugest Madonna fan and I'm a Gwen fan and they are not relatives at all. Madonna is a true original because she will see a painting or old movie and have inspiration to completely reinvent the look. It's called Reinvention and that's what Gwen is doing with this look. I like the buns look with Madonna's blond better, but Gwen has a way edgy look with this style. I Love it, I love them BOTH!!!
Roadwork says – reply to this

91

Basically all the new popstars are off spring of Madonna. Everybody knows no one has come along who's can surpass Madonna in terms of a female pop star career. Madonna is self-motivated thats why. Its hard for sexiests to believe shes intelligent. No ones even come close to making classic American videos the way she's done since the 80's. Its only people who dont respect this about Madonna that dont understand. Gwen Staffani & Madonna are friends, When Gwen was growing up she wanted to be a successful independent women like Madonna. Wrap yourselves around it people, Madonna is actually admired & highly respected in the business. Because in the business, the facts sell & the fake fall quickly to the side.

Re: Madmoiselle –
Madonnna fans are pathetic and don't have any personality they believe everything she says as if she's honest.It is not called reinvention but stealing.

since you are obviously too slow, Madonna of course lives a healthy lifestyle and only eat organic food and exercise and also since Madonna have more money than god ,she can afford botox and yes plastic surgery UNLIKE your DRIED UP CUM WHORE MOTHER , so now do you understand the difference , this is why Madonna will and always look better than your DRIED UP CUM WHORE MOTHER
