Gwen Stefani, 54, criticized by fans for her outfit on ‘The Voice’ Season 26 opening night

Season 26 of The Voice kicked off this week with an exciting new panel of judges, including musical legends Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani. While Bublé and Snoop are making their Voice debuts, fans will recognize Reba and Stefani from previous seasons, with Reba having claimed victory in Season 25.

The judges made a grand entrance, performing The Eagles’ rock classic “Heartache Tonight,” setting the tone for an exciting season. The performance certainly grabbed attention, but perhaps not all for the right reasons, as Gwen Stefani soon found herself at the center of criticism for her choice of attire.

Being a coach on The Voice is a prestigious role, with music industry icons such as John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine having held the position in past seasons. Now, the diverse lineup of Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani are stepping up to compete for the title of winning coach. With their varied musical backgrounds, there’s no doubt this season will be filled with memorable moments, rivaling those of past years.

Despite the positive energy Snoop brought to the panel, Gwen Stefani’s fashion choices were met with mixed reactions. Several viewers took to social media to voice their disapproval, many feeling her outfit was inappropriate for the occasion.

One critic commented, “Why can’t Gwen ever dress properly? This is a show for both kids and adults—it’s inappropriate.” Another added, “Gwen is too old to be dressing like a teenager. She should follow Reba’s lead and show some class.”

Meanwhile, others praised the judges’ performance, especially highlighting the duet between Snoop and Reba. “Snoop and Reba sounded incredible together. Gwen, on the other hand, should opt for a more sophisticated look. Michael Bublé is doing great, though,” said another viewer.
