The [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) January 2013 issue is sure to break records in sales with the talented and gorgeous Gwen Stefani gracing the cover.

The cover features Stefani bedazzled to the maximum with a lovely gold sequin number accompanied by a white ruffle shirt and black tie accessory by Saint Laurent. The look is of an outlandish matador and a metaphor for Stefani's [resilience in the music industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman). Stefani has proven herself as a lead singer, solo artist and [fashion designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity). She is all of these things while simultaneously being a wife and mother to two young boys. She is a modern day renaissance woman and Vogue is wise to allow her to make her return to the cover.

Gwen Stefani's cover for the Vogue January 2013 issue is a glittery success and insight into an outstanding female role-model.
