'Wow': Gwen Stefani Showed a Rare Photo without Makeup and Blake Shelton Praised Her Looks

• Gwen Stefani is a timeless icon of beauty who has long captivated the world with her allure.
• Her husband, Blake Shelton, expressed genuine admiration as he marveled at her natural charm.
• We revisited a moment seven years ago when Gwen's makeup-free Instagram post drew resounding applause from her devoted fans.

For decades, Gwen Stefani has dazzled the world with her iconic style and undeniable beauty. From her chart-topping hits to her trendsetting fashion, she's been a constant source of fascination. But what truly makes her captivating is not just her talent but her natural allure — a fact not lost on her husband, Blake Shelton.

In a candid interview with Access Hollywood, Shelton couldn't contain his admiration for Stefani's enthralling beauty. He playfully admitted that he had secretly hoped that their marriage would somehow bestow upon him some of Stefani's extraordinary genetics.

With a grin, he shared his fantasy of waking up in the morning, flexing his stomach muscles, and stretching his legs, mimicking his wife's grace and effortless beauty. He may have lived with Stefani for years, but he still doesn't understand how Stefani remains so beautiful, and he's constantly in awe of her.

Shelton's admiration for Stefani's natural beauty extends far beyond that one interview. In 2017, when he was awarded the title of People's Sexiest Man Alive, he wasted no time in expressing his admiration for his then-girlfriend.

He didn't just praise her signature winged cat-eye and bold red lipstick, he believed Stefani looked her most beautiful when she embraced her natural beauty, free of any makeup. According to him, Stefani's allure is at its peak when she wears no makeup whatsoever. He emphasized that she is ageless and her youthful looks are simply unbelievable.

While Shelton acknowledges that Stefani can rock red lips — he even highlighted her "Revlon red" lips in his song "Turnin' Me On" from his latest album — he yearns for the world to witness the Stefani he knows, hidden away from the spotlight. He expressed that when she gets all dolled up, she's undeniably beautiful, with her red lips being her signature. Nonetheless, he find her stunning even without makeup. He added:

"The Gwen that nobody gets to see is the one that you all should see."

In Shelton's eyes, Stefani, despite being a mother of three, defies the passage of time, retaining the vivacity of someone far younger. He remains astounded by the genetics that seem to have graced her with an everlasting youthfulness.
