People had divided opinions about Stefani’s new look.
“Gwen fire your stylist… that wig w/ the bangs does nothing at all for you,” said one person.
“You don’t even look like Gwen Stefani. I miss Gwen Stefani,” one user joked.
“I thought this was Sutton,” another admitted, referring to Sutton Stracke of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“I love your whole look!” another gushed. “You look absolutely stunning and your sunflower dress is so lovely!”

Over the years, people have questioned whether or not the singer has undergone plastic surgery.
MYA suggested that Stefani may have gotten lip fillers after comparing two before-and-after photos of the pop star. They also mentioned the possibility of anti-wrinkle injections, also known as Botox, in her forehead and around her eyes.

The reality show judge did mention back in 2004 that she wasn’t looking forward to aging.
“I’m hoping my children will save me from my vanity,” she told People. “If it doesn’t, plastic surgery is an option… It sucks to have to grow older. We all have to accept it.”

According to IMDB, coaches pit two artists from the same team against one another during the Battle Rounds, then select one to move forward to the Knockout Round.
Stefani paired up 19-year-old Sloane Simon and 15-year-old Sydney Sterlace, tasking them with singing Billie Eilish’s Birds of a Feather, knowing it would be a tough decision to choose only one contestant.
In the end, she chose Sydney to advance, but the other three judges—Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, and Michael Bublé—used their steals on Sloane, who had picked Bublé.
"Gwen's wig is making me mad," read one of the comments
