NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Popular singer, songwriter, and fashion designer Gwen Stefani performed at the annual 'Rockefeller Tree Lighting,' taking the stage in a glittering pink mini dress during her holiday set.

The outfit quickly became a talking point among viewers, drawing mixed reactions as the event is widely seen as a family-oriented celebration.

Gwen Stefani’s outfit at the annual event

Stefani hit the stage on Wednesday, December 3, for numerous performances at the 93rd annual event in New York City.

She also had several outfit changes throughout the night, but one outfit in particular stood out to fans for its tiny fit.

Stefani performed in a light pink long-sleeved minidress that barely covered her upper thighs as she sang her holiday track, 'Hot Cocoa,' from her 'You Make Me Feel Like Christmas Deluxe' album.

The outfit was paired with nude tights, high heels, and her blonde hair straight down, with her signature red lip.

Public reactions to Gwen Stefani’s outfit

The attire received mixed reactions from her fans, who commented on social media, divided over whether the outfit was too revealing for a family-friendly program.

“Gwen Stefani is wearing the most inappropriate outfit for a family show!!! Disgusting how short her dress is. Shame on you, NBC!” one person wrote on X.



“Wonderful performances, @gwenstefani !!! You light up NYC with your beauty,” said another.



“Can Gwen Stefani have a shorter dress? You can see her c***h,” someone else complained.



“Gwen, LOVE seeing you on the #rockefellercenter tree lighting show for the 5th time!! The live debut of Hot Cocoa was so special!! Such a fun, festive song!” a fan gushed.



“Gwen Stefani is totally a vision—beautiful, sparkling, enchanting and serving vocals,” chimed in one more.

Earlier, Stefani was seen in a see-through emerald tulle gown while attending the premiere of the holiday film, ‘Oh. What. Fun.’

She walked the red carpet without her husband, Blake Shelton, by her side, amid rumors of their unhappy marriage. 

In recent times, the couple has repeatedly shown up to events solo and hasn’t been photographed together in public.

Earlier this year, they further fueled rumors when they each released break-up songs, drawing speculation that the tracks were about their current relationship struggles.

According to 'The US Sun,' the duo has “gone through real challenges” that have really tested their marriage.

A source explained that Gwen and Blake’s efforts to blend their opposite lifestyles have created tension and led them to seek outside help.

The couple met in 2014 when they were both coaches on NBC‘s ‘The Voice,’ and tied the knot in July 2021 after dating for several years.
