Gwen Stefani has long been a master of the “high-low” fashion mix, blending punk-rock edge with red-carpet glamour.
One of her most definitive style moments occurred on May 14, 2016, at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, where she performed at the 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango.
While the night was a celebration of her music—ranging from No Doubt classics to her solo hits—it served as a masterclass in how to style statement footwear with eclectic, genre-bending apparel.

For her performance at 102.7 KIIS FM’s 2016 Wango Tango, she wore a see-through embellished mesh top and shimmering Sass & Bide “Flashlight Disco” shorts.

She amped up the look’s rock ‘n’ roll vibe with a pair of “Nichol” booties from her L.A.M.B. collection.
From the Stage to the Pink Carpet: Gwen’s Stunning Red Carpet Look
Before hitting the stage, Gwen gave us some major ab envy as she graced the pink carpet in a sheer bodysuit from Elisabetta Franchi’s Fall 2016 collection.

She confidently showcased her toned stomach in the flesh-baring top, which featured a high neck, long sleeves, and strategically placed black panels with gold fringe trim.

The mom-of-three stayed true to her eclectic style by toughening up the daring number with paint-splattered army cargo pants worn over fishnet tights.
Gwen accessorized the look with stacked bangles, rings, and diamond stud earrings.

She swapped her retro hairstyle for a funkier dip-dyed look, featuring a deep side part and a half ponytail. The iconic singer paired smoky eye makeup with heavy mascara, trading her signature red lipstick for a medium brown pout accentuated by bold lip liner.

Gwen rounded out her ensemble with a pair of Christian Louboutin “Pigalle Strass” pumps — a high-glamour evolution of one of the house’s most iconic silhouettes. Named after the Pigalle district in Paris, the design is famous for its dramatically short toe box and razor-thin stiletto heel, creating that unmistakable, vertiginous pitch Louboutin devotees know well.
But the Strass version takes things into fantasy territory: each pair is meticulously hand-encrusted with Swarovski crystals, transforming the minimalist pump into a real-life glass slipper that catches the light from every angle.

Available in soaring 100mm and 120mm heights — with a slightly more wearable 85mm option — the Pigalle Strass is as daring as it is dazzling. The steep angle and sculpted silhouette make it more of a “red carpet moment” shoe than an all-night dancing heel, but that’s precisely the appeal.
Equal parts collector’s piece and conversation starter, the crystal-covered Pigalle remains one of Louboutin’s most extreme — and most coveted — creations.
Gwen’s pointed-toe shoes are covered in gold crystals and have about four-inch heels.
