A real stunner: Gwen Stefani glitters on the cover of Vogue in a black and gold ensemble from Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane
The glossy layout, which marks Gwen's first Vogue cover since 2004, was shot by famed American photographer Annie Leibovitz.
In the accompanying article, Stefani opens up about returning to the music scene on No Doubt’s comeback album ‘Push & Shove’ - their first CD in 11 years.
Stefani also talks about balancing her solo career and balancing work with motherhood. 'I did my first solo record and went on tour while I was pregnant.
'I would want to throw up during certain songs. Certain outfits would make me sick. It was torture. I toured until I was four and a half months pregnant, showing,' she said.

The singer added: 'I came home and had Kingston, and when he was eight months old, I went back on the road.
'I nursed him for fourteen months, so I would literally do my hair and makeup, go back to the bus, nurse him, put him down, and walk out onstage. And I did that for 100 shows.'
While taking a break from music, she has been raising her boys Kingston, six, and Zuma, four, along with building up her L.A.M.B. fashion brand.
Although the California native admits, she stopped designing for L.A.M.B. after Kingston entered kindergarten and a woman named Paula Bradley took over.

Meantime, Gwen is launching a new ska-inspired fashion range with her band mates, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young who are set to launch their clothing line for men and women - which starts at $95 - on January 13.
The Southern California-based musicians worked with the Fred Perry design team to combine the label's classic style with their ska and reggae roots.
This fall Fred Perry celebrated its 60th Birthday in London, with music from artists including The Charlatans and DJ Norman Jay.
The British clothing label launched at Wimbledon in 1952, with its tennis shirt being an immediate hit.
