Talk about attention-grabbing! Gwen Stefani embraces her inner punk in bright red coat as she braves central London for a family day out

Not many parents would brave the hoards of Leicester Square just a few days after Christmas.
But it seems that Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are made of stronger stuff than most as they took their family for a stroll through central London on Friday.
Clearly unfazed about being spotted, the No Doubt star couldn't have done less to blend in, her bright blonde hair, red lipstick and red coat drawing attention to the family of four.

The family, who have spent Christmas in the UK this year, seemed quite content to be strolling through one of the country's busiest thoroughfares, immersing themselves in the crowds.
While not many people dress up for a day out at the shops, style-conscious Gwen went all out with her trademark punky look for the trip in her eye-catching tartan red coat.

Clearly not wanting to let her fashion crown slip, the designer made an effort as she left the house the day after Boxing Day, wearing what looked like an all-in-one grey jumpsuit.
