There is No Doubt about it: after six years

away, Gwen Stefani’s return to the Met Ball in

custom Moschino marked the bold, flamboyant

homecoming of our favourite Noughties pop

princess to the fashion scene. Homage was paid

to this Harajuku Girl in the Autumn/Winter

collections and the new season is vintage Gwen,

all fairy-tale frills, hyper-exaggerated flounces

alongside pastel hues and sorbet shades for a

touch of whimsy: altogether a sweet escape to

simpler times. Look too to Marc Jacobs, where

an OTT pleated babydoll number is the stuff

of dressing-up box dreams, or Dolce & Gabbana’s

fur-trimmed pink cape for total slumber-party

perfection. This season it’s about fulfilling your

fancy-dress fantasies à la Gwen Stefani. What

are you waiting for?
