Gwen Stefani does a fabulous job excelling in the roles of fitness fiend, girlie girl and doting mama. She’s able to straddle the fence of being crazy strong and lean, while looking ladylike and lovely whenever possible. Some folks think that in order to have ripped muscles, you must also have some sort of macho persona to go with them. Not true! She’s a Mom, she’s got muscles and she loves make-up! Her typical day involves dropping her son Kingston, 6, off at school, working on her band’s (No Doubt) latest album, fulfilling business obligations and spending the evening with her boys, including Zuma, 4. Before wrapping up the day on her music video sets — Stefani still manages to keep up with her signature style, from her bleached blonde locks to her red hot lips. Highlights from her recent interview with Harper’s BAZAAR.
On Motherhood: It’s super fun being a mom, but it’s hard too. Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing I’ve ever done — by far.

On how she stays sample-size:I like to wear clothes too much, so I try to keep focused.

She’s not just doing it for herself: I like to make my husband (Gavin Rossdale) like me more and he likes it when I’m wearing makeup.”
Her son has a flare for fashion too: After recently delving into the world of caped crusaders, Stefani indulged in an afternoon visit to a costume shop to spruce up her son’s superhero wardrobe “He just discovered superheroes and he’s obsessed,” the songstress says. “It’s like when I discovered Marilyn Monroe: ob-SESSED.”
