In a moment of candid vulnerability, Gwen Stefani shared a makeup-free selfie to Instagram. Lying in bed with tousled blonde hair, her natural look as posted back in 2016 was a huge hit with fans.

When you are beautiful [on] the INSIDE...it makes [its] way to the OUTSIDE, as well!" "Just more proof she's the most beautiful woman alive," someone else added. "Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!" another fan wrote.
