She has pulled off some very sexy looks in her 30 year career as a singer.

But Gwen Stefani insisted in the March issue of Canadian FASHION magazine that she has not used her sexuality to get ahead.

The 45-year-old hit maker explained, 'It’s important to evolve outside of your sexuality to entertain people. It was never a card that I played or will play – ever. Sexuality is something I’ve never felt comfortable with.'

Gwen admitted to understanding the strength and capability of sexuality. But she also notes that it's never been her main focus.

She explained, 'We have this sexual side to us that is alluring and powerful. It’s a gift. When you discover it when you are around 14, it feels amazing. But you learn it’s fleeting.'

She added: 'I won’t be doing any topless photo shoots anytime soon. It’s not my thing. I don’t judge people for it, but I didn’t even wear high heels until I was 30.'

Stun in a thigh split scarlet Versace gown like Gwen

Everytime we spot Gwen Stafani whether dressed down on the school run or glammed up on the red carpet, we swear that she looks better and better.

The L.A.M.B designer seems to have discovered the secret to staying young by sticking to her tried and tested platinum blonde and red lipstick combo, and her style has followed suit.

A fan of modern asymmetric designs and tailored pieces, Gwen knows what suits her body shape and stepped out in not one but two different Atelier Versace outfits at Sunday's Grammy Awards.

We are totally in love with her scarlet gown and it is the perfect color for this weekend's upcoming valentines day!
