Gwen Stefani's Cool Music Video Was So 2018

Gwen Stefani's Cool Music Video Was So 2018

Written by The Strategy

Does anyone else remember Gwen Stefani’s 2005 song, Cool? Because we do. Namely, we remember the romantic music video (remember those?) that went along with it.

Gwen Stefani was stunning, the song was beautiful, and the locations were gorgeous. While re-watching the music video on a lazy Sunday afternoon, we realized, Gwen Stefani’s Cool video was so 2018, sartorially speaking, without even realizing it.

We’re talking Réalisation par-esque sundresses, Marilyn Monroe-inspired bobs, and crop tops galore. It’s the most for some end of summer/fall 2018 inspiration. The video opens Gwen’s ex-lover’s fiance clad in a deep v-neck blouse with gold hoop earrings. It then flashes to Gwen Stefani clad in a leopard print cardigan that would make Carine Roitfeld proud. It then switches to Gwen’s Marilyn-esque bob that we’ve been trying to recreate all summer long.

When we take a trip down memory lane, 2005 was not all leopard print and minimalist gold jewelry. No 2005 is reminiscent of Juicy Couture tracksuits, Ugg boots and Von Dutch Trucker hats. Which therefore leads us once again to our conclusion that Cool was so 2018 without even realizing it. Sure there are a few obvious signs of the time, like Gwen’s faux-hawk ponytail, and an extra wide belt worn around her cardigan, but for the most part, everything worn in the video is stuff we would gladly wear today. Leopard print stilettos? Yes please. Crop tops? We’re still not over them. And our favourite, sun dresses? We’ve only been scouring the likes of Reformation for the perfect one.

Have a look at the video yourself, and you’ll also realize why Gwen Stefani is the ultimate style icon.
