It was a breakup that led to singer Gwen Stefani's breakthrough. After her seven-year relationship with No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal ended, Stefani channeled the loss into No Doubt's 1995 smash album, Tragic Kingdom. Fueled in part by Stefani's trend-setting style, No Doubt went on to become a major influence on the '90's music scene.

In 2004, Stefani went solo and made waves with over-the-top fashions and an ever-present entourage of harajuku girls. Additionally, the multi-tasking performer appeared in The Aviator and created the retail line L.A.M.B. In 2002, the pop icon married former Bush singer Gavin Rossdale, with whom she has two sons, Kingston and Zuma.
