Star Analysis Part 4- motifs

Gwen Stefani has many motifs one of which is her erratic style, her clothing for one which differentiates her from most other singers. she has had bleach blonde hair since day one, this is one aspect that her audience have now become accustomed to and has then made it a motif.

  Along with the red lipstick she wears that you rarely see her without. These pictures show you the constant repetitive motifs.

The main repetitive Motif is the Four Japanese girls called Love Angel Music And Baby as a group they are called Harajuku girls. they are the motif because they in every music video either visually or verbally such as when gwen sings "love angel music baby hurry up and come and save me" while they dance behind her.

They are the main motif mainly because they are used so much and because we have seen them in every music video so the audience expects it in every one there for it is now a motif and if you were to remove them gwen would no longer be gwen. especially as she is known to match clothing outfits with all of the four girls.

In the music video Gwen stefani Rich girl Ft Eve, the harajuku girls are used alot.
