Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton began their romantic relationship on The Voice, and have used their music since they went from platonic pals to passionate lovebirds to showcase their affection. Now Stefani is thrilling fans with her new “Misery ” video, inspired by Shelton, according to ET.
When it comes to fashion, the 46-year-old mom of three never disappoints. But now she’s upped the va-voom factor with her extraordinary high-fashion styles for the song that her beau inspired. Few performers can sport headpieces without looking ridiculous. But Gwen manages to pull it off with sassy sex appeal in her “Misery” video. Watch below.
In addition, the singer goes from lofty headpieces and statuesque poses to soft ballerina style. The embroidered nude bodysuit and pink tulle both require sleek physiques, and Stefani proves she’s done the hours in the gym to look impeccable in the costume change.
Thigh-high boots have become a fashion must-have, and her “Misery” video doesn’t disappoint. But when it comes to the wow factor, Gwen has learned to save the sexiest element for the last. She shared the lingerie look on social media, which combines her passion for red with bedroom fashion flair.
As for why the speculation that the “Misery” video, released four months after confirmation that she was dating Shelton, was inspired by the country music superstar?
“You’re like drugs, you’re like drugs to me,” she sings. “I’m so into you totally… So put me out of my misery, hurry up, come see me.”
And her 39-year-old boyfriend gushed his excitement over her “Misery” video.

When it comes to the lasting impression of the video, however, the fashion seems to be getting more buzz than the music, pointed out Us Weekly.
Gwen’s style is earning descriptions such as “eccentric,” with the gold beaded costume topped with a crown compared to Charlize Theron in Snow White & the Huntsman.
“It feels like I’m supposed to be doing this right now and sharing my story. And I really hope that this record brings pleasure and, I don’t know, documents people’s, you know, lives in this moment. And I just — I’m so happy to share it.”
Stefani also is happy to share her excitement over Shelton’s newest album, If I’m Honest , reported ET.
Soaring to the highest spot to rank as the number one country music seller, If I’m Honest earned excitement on Twitter from the couple.

Included in the musical compilation: A duet from the lovebirds, “Go Ahead and Break My Heart.”
But when the 39-year-old Voice coach country discussed how his romance inspired him, there was no heartbreak mentioned.
“She became my closest ally, my friend, my person in my life who had my back, and I had hers. [I] created this bond with somebody that I never would have thought in a million years.”
As for their future together? That’s where the three boys that she shares with Gavin Rossdale play a key role, according to a source cited by the International Business Times.
“[Stefani] definitely tells her kids what’s going on and runs things by them all the time,” revealed the source. “She wants their well-being accounted for, and if and when she goes through another marriage, she wants the kids to be on board. They really like Blake, but she definitely wants to make sure they’re okay, since the divorce is still very fresh for the kids.”
