Gwen Stefani trolled for CMT Awards 2023 outfit: ‘Looks like a costume’

Gwen Stefani’s a little bit country and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll.

The former “Voice” judge, 53, hit the red carpet with husband Blake Shelton for Sunday night’s CMT Awards 2023 wearing a very polarizing look by Valentino Haute Couture.

While the “God’s Country” singer wore jeans with a jacket, vest and tie, Stefani kept it business up top with a black blazer, long skinny tie and white shirt with a tiny gold beaded miniskirt, fishnet tights and knee-high furry boots, just as the look was styled on the runway.

Stefani accessorized with Untamed Petals jewelry, wore her signature red lipstick and pulled her hair back into two sleek buns.

While some fans praised her high-fashion look as “perfectionnnnnnnn” and “AN ABSOLUTE SERVE” on Stefani’s Instagram, others weren’t sold.

“This isn’t style,” one commented, while another wrote, “I sooooo love you and your fashion. But this one sucks. So sorry..it’s really bad. Does not hit the mark at all.”

The criticism continued on popular account Check the Tag’s post showcasing Stefani’s outfit.

“It truly could’ve been a win and instead it’s an F,” one follower commented on the ensemble’s perceived lack of tailoring.

“What is going on with her? I dig the throwback look, but the boots? -looks like a costume,” another chimed in.

Added a third, “Not the furry boots again from 2010.”

The songstress did a quick change for her performance during the ceremony, switching into a white-and-red polka-dotted Versace minidress with matching gloves to sing “Just a Girl” with Carly Pearce.

She also looked on adoringly as Shelton opened the awards show by singing “No Body,” mouthing along the words to her husband’s latest single.

Sunday marked the CMT Awards debut for the couple, who wed on July 4, 2021.
